Chapter 20 Revolutions in Europe and Latin America
(1790-1848)
Section 1 An Age of Ideologies
Terms:
Ideology
Universal manhood suffrage
Autonomy
1. Lesson Plan Focus
After 1815, conservatives called for a return to the political and social structure that existed before 1789. Liberals embraced the ideas of the Enlightenment and wanted to limit the power of monarchs. Nationalists, by urging national independence, threatened the powerful empires of Europe. Conflicts emerged as conservative leaders opposed liberal and nationalist demands.
Section 2 To the Barricades!
1. Lesson Plan Focus
Charles X’s attempt to restore absolutism in France resulted in the July revolution of 1830. An economic slump, coupled with discontent over social and political issues, sparked revolution again in 1848. These French uprising inspired revolts in other parts of Europe. Many of the revolutions failed because they were put down by military force and because they did not have mass support.
Section 3 Latin American Wars of Independence
1. Lesson Plan Focus
Enlightenment ideas, revolutions in other lands, and dissatisfaction with European rule caused revolutions in Latin America. In Haiti, an army of former slaves ended French rule in a struggle that cost more lives than any other Latin American revolution. As a result of revolutions in Mexico, Central America, and South America, independent Latin American nations emerged.

Treasury sees $13.6 trillion Social Security shortfall
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration said in a new report Monday that Social Security is facing a $13.6 trillion shortfall and that delaying reforms is not fair to younger workers.
A report issued by the Treasury Department said that some combination of benefit cuts and tax increases will need to be considered to permanently fix the funding shortfall. But White House officials stressed that President Bush remains opposed to raising taxes.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said he hoped the new report would help find common ground on the politically divisive issue, but a key Democrat charged that the administration will still try to fix Social Security by imposing sharp benefit reductions.
"The administration's new report is a reminder of President Bush's determination to not only privatize Social Security but to make deep cuts in the benefits that American workers have earned," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "Nobody should be fooled into believing that the only way to save Social Security is to destroy it with privatization or deep benefit cuts."
Bush had hoped to make Social Security reform the top domestic priority of his second term. He put forward a Social Security plan in 2005 that focused on creation of private accounts for younger workers, but that proposal never came up for a vote in Congress with Democrats heavily opposed and few Republicans embracing the idea.
The Treasury report put the cost of the gap between what Social Security is expected to need to pay out in benefits and what it will raise in payroll taxes in coming years at $13.6 trillion.
It said delaying necessary changes reduces the number of people available to share in the burden of those changes and is unfair to younger workers. "Not taking action is thus unfair to future generations. This is a significant cost of delay," the report said.
In another key finding, the report said: "Social Security can be made permanently solvent only by reducing the present value of scheduled benefits and/or increasing the present value of scheduled tax increases."

Auction of a Key English Legal Document
Graphic source: Getty Image File
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Just blocks from where U.N. diplomats debate their interpretations of tyranny and democracy, what may be the first document to articulate the difference is going up for sale. The version of the Magna Carta up for auction has been on display at the National Archives in Washington.
The version of the Magna Carta up for auction has been on display at the National Archives in Washington.
Sotheby's will auction off one of the earliest versions of the Magna Carta later this year, the auction house announced Tuesday.
This will be the first time any version of the Magna Carta has ever gone up for auction, according to David Redden, vice chairman of Sotheby's.
The Magna Carta is expected to fetch at least $20 million to $30 million, Redden said.
Redden, who has also sold dinosaur bones, space race artifacts and a first printing of the Declaration of Independence, called the Magna Carta "the most important document on earth."
The charter mandated the English king to cede certain basic rights to his citizens, ensuring that no man is above the law.
Many believe the Magna Carta was the first document to recognize the legal right to freedom from tyranny, an influential concept to American political philosophers -- from the founding fathers to the modern presidency.
The version to be auctioned is one of fewer than 20 known copies of the Magna Carta, which means "Great Charter" in Latin. The document was first devised in 1215, but not confirmed into English law until 1297 -- the year this version was issued and sealed by King Edward I.
The document is one of only two copies of the charter that exist outside of England, according to Sotheby's. This Magna Carta and another version in Australia are the only two ever to have been privately sold.
The version up for auction rested for six centuries with the Brundell family in Deene Park, England, until being bought in 1984 by businessman Ross Perot. Since then, the Perot Foundation has kept the copy on display at the National Archives in Washington.
The Perot Foundation plans to distribute the money from the auction to various causes such as medical research and helping wounded soldiers.
The Magna Carta will be coming up for auction during the week of December 10.

WH, Agenda, Background to WH II
Agenda
Background reading:
You may begin as background with Chapter 16 The Age of Absolutism (1550-1800), however, this will not be on any tests but I'm assuming your WH I class surveyed this chapter.
Introduction
During the 1500s and 1600s, several European monarchs became absolute rulers. In England, Parliament gained control. After the Thirty Years' War, Prussia emerged as a strong Protestant state. In Austria, the Hapsburgs expanded their territory. Peter the Great gained land and brought reforms to Russia but worsened the condition of the serfs.
Background: About the Pictures
Section 2 France Under Louis XIV
Bell Ringer
I draw your attention to the quotation from Louis XIV ('L'etat, c'est moi.) on p. 417. For Extra Credit, what kind of government do you think France had at this time? How do you feel the French people felt about such a government?
Lesson Plan Focus
Violent warfare between Catholics and Protestants divided France for a time. Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin increased royal power at the expense of nobles and Huguenots, or French Protestants. Under the absolutist rule of Louis XIV, France became the leading state of Europe. But costly wars and religious persecution undermined French power.

Section 3 Triumph of Parliament in England, p. 421.
Lesson Plan Focus
The Stuart kings clashed with Parliament over money, foreign policy, and religion. A civil war erupted when Charles I tried to arrest the radical leaders in the House of Commons. Parliament's triumph led to the execution of the kin
g, the abolition of the monarchy, and the creation of a republic headed by Oliver Cromwell. After the monarchy was restored, the Glorious Revolution limited royal power and protected the rights of English citizens.

Unit 4
Enlightenment and Revolution (1700-1850)
Ch. 17 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution (1700-1800)
Summary
The Enlightenment, sometimes called the Age of Reason, sought to shine the "light" of reason on traditional ideas about government and society. Enlightenment thinkers promoted goals of material well-being, social justice, and worldly happiness. Their ideas about government and society stood in sharp contrast to the old principles of divine-right rule, a rigid social hierarchy, and the promise of a better life in heaven. Since the 1700s, Enlightenment ideas have spread, creating upheaval as they challenge established traditions around the world.
Section 1 Philosophy in the Age of Reason
Lesson Plan Focus
Enlightenment thinkers tried to apply the laws of nature to human society. Their political ideas included the concepts of natural rights, separation of power, checks and balances, and freedom of thought. Their economic ideas included the policies of laissez faire and a free market.

Unit 4
Enlightenment and Revolution (1700-1850)
Ch. 17 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution (1700-1800)
Summary
The Enlightenment, sometimes called the Age of Reason, sought to shine the "light" of reason on traditional ideas about government and society. Enlightenment thinkers promoted goals of material well-being, social justice, and worldly happiness. Their ideas about government and society stood in sharp contrast to the old principles of divine-right rule, a rigid social hierarchy, and the promise of a better life in heaven. Since the 1700s, Enlightenment ideas have spread, creating upheaval as they challenge established traditions around the world.
Section 1 Philosophy in the Age of Reason
Lesson Plan Focus
Enlightenment thinkers tried to apply the laws of nature to human society. Their political ideas included the concepts of natural rights, separation of power, checks and balances, and freedom of thought. Their economic ideas included the policies of laissez faire and a free market.

Mock Trial
On behalf of the entire Harvard Mock Trial Association, I would like to invite you and your team to the Harvard Mock Trial High School Training Seminar. Held on the historic Harvard campus, this special event is designed to enhance the skills of mock trialers of all levels of experience through a two-day program of extensive presentations, one-on-one preparation sessions, and scrimmages, all led by members of the Harvard Mock Trial Team.
The Harvard Mock Trial Association is currently recognized as one of the most competitive mock trial programs in the country. This spring, the HMTA performed better than any school in college mock trial history. After months of training and competition, our A-team and B-team outranked over 500 teams in the country to win first and second place in their division at the National College Championship Tournament. The Harvard team currently has the most college mock trial "All-Americans" in the country, with five attorneys and eight witnesses winning this prestigious award at the national competition.
We continue to excel in competition despite the fact that every year, we bring new members onto our team, many of whom have no prior experience in mock trial. Every year, we watch as our new members consistently outperform and outrank even the most experienced competition. We know that this success is a result of the training techniques that we use to teach our new members, and last year we decided that it was time to start sharing some of our training methods, which is why we organized this seminar. By working directly with students, teaching them the very process that has allowed our witnesses and attorneys to excel in national competition, the members of Harvard Mock Trial are confident that they can teach absolutely anyone how to be better, teaching new skills and refining technique for even the most successful mock trialer. Many of the members of the Harvard Mock Trial Team competed at the national level in high school, and after joining our program have excelled at the national level in college. We believe our collective experience competing in countless rounds of mock trial can provide a wealth of benefits to even the most successful high school program. We were thrilled with the positive response our seminar got from all 100 participants last year, and this year we plan to make it even better.
Attached is a document with more information regarding our program, including dates, a sample weekend schedule, and costs. You can also find more information on our website, www.harvardmocktrial.org. Online registration is also available on our website.
Please don't hesitate to email us at seminars@harvardmocktrial.org with any questions you may have. From all of us on the team, we hope to see you at Harvard this December!
Sincerely,
Carolina Lescano
