Topic Overview: As feudalism declined, stronger national kingdoms in much of Europe emerged under the control of absolute rulers. They wanted to control their countries’ economies so they could free themselves from limitations imposed by the nobility. New ideas about science, human rights and government led to political revolutions in many countries during the late 1700s and the 1800s. The thinkers of the Enlightenment challenged old ideas about power and authority prompting future revolutions.

Enduring Understandings: Absolutism formed the backdrop to some of the key events of later European & American history. Tension between scientific and religious communities continues in modern society. Enlightenment values influenced modern-day governments.

Essential Questions: 1. How did divine right support Absolutism? 2. How did science challenge traditional authority? 3. How did Enlightenment ideas change the relationship between people and government?
