  • Ap European History Summer Assignment – 2018
    AP EUROPEAN HISTORY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT – 2018 Welcome to AP European History! I am so excited about this course. While not a “Grand Tour” in the formal sense of 17th –mid -19th century travels through Europe, it will be an informative and insightful journey through the intellectual, social, political, economic, and cultural history of Europe. Thank you for joining the class. Our studies begin in the Renaissance, and although this is “only “ the history of a continent, the breadth and depth of the curriculum is challenging. So, as you know by now, we need to get a head start on our work with an AP Summer Packet. The summer assignment includes map work and a terms/vocabulary list. ALL the work is due on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. It is imperative that your work be completed and ready to turn in the first day of school. I intend for the class to be seminar-based, but your preparation by reading the material and completing assignments out of class is absolutely fundamental. We cannot have lively, informative discussions if we have not done the readings or the homework. Preparation for the AP exam requires that we maintain a faithful, rigorous, and timely adherence to the AP European curriculum framework and schedule. As with all AP classes, writing will also be a significant component of the class. Please read each section of the summer packet for the directions specific to the map work and terms/vocabulary. I have provided maps for you and the vocabulary terms can be researched on the Internet.

  • David Hume--Of the Original Contract
    Of the Original Contract David Hume 1752 XVI.DAVID HUME, OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT, 1752When we consider how nearly equal all men are in their bodily force, and even in their mental powers and faculties, till cultivated by education; we must necessarily allow, that nothing but their own consent could, at first, associate them together, and subject them to any authority. The people, if we trace government to its first origin in the woods and deserts, are the source of all power and jurisdiction, and voluntarily, for the sake of peace and order, abandoned their native liberty, and received laws from their equal and companion. The conditions, upon which they were willing to submit, were either expressed, or were so clear and obvious, that it might well be esteemed superfluous to express them. If this, then, be meant by the original contract, it cannot be denied, that all government is, at first, founded on a contract, and that the most ancient rude combinations of mankind were formed chiefly by that principle. In vain, are we asked in what records this charter of our liberties is registered. It was not written on parchment, nor yet on leaves or barks of trees. It preceded the use of writing and all the other civilized arts of life. But we trace it plainly in the nature of man, and in the equality, or something approaching equality, which we find in all the individuals of that species. The force, which now prevails, and which is founded on fleets and armies, is plainly political, and derived from authority, the effect of established government.

  • Niccolò Machiavelli's Use of Cesare Borgia in the Prince
    Narrativizing the Self: Niccolò Machiavelli’s use of Cesare Borgia in The Prince Alex Mizumoto-Gitter University of Kansas Introduction When Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince in 1513 it was as a professional diplomat who had not only been fired, but also imprisoned and tortured after a political reversal brought a sudden downturn to his fortunes. While he had never managed to achieve high rank, he had made a career out of representing his beloved Florence beyond its borders and sending back information to his supe- riors from as far away as Spain. Machiavelli had even briefly served Florence as a military commander, although he is best remembered today as a political theorist and author.1 The Prince was influenced by his work experience and was intended to bolster his chances at finding employment under a new patron. Within its pages, Machiavelli set himself up as an authoritative figure, capable of offering military and governmental advice to a ruler through his analysis of other historical commanders, most famously Cesare Borgia. Machiavelli had been working as a Florentine diplomat during Borgia’s Italian military campaigns and had spoken with him several times, both then as well as later during Borgia’s imprisonment in Rome.2 Thus, it is not surprising that Niccolò Machiavelli recounted Cesare Borgia’s successful campaigns in the Italian Romagna starting in 1499 or his fall from power after his father’s death in 1503. These were prominent political events that he had observed firsthand and as part of his professional career. Historians have long considered Machiavelli’s description of Borgia in The Prince valuable because of his professional insight and because he penned it only a few years after Borgia’s death in 1507.3 © 2018 Alex Mizumoto-Gitter.

  • Montesquieu on Commerce, Conquest, War, and Peace
    MONTESQUIEU ON COMMERCE, CONQUEST, WAR, AND PEACE Robert Howse* I. INTRODUCTION:COMMERCE AS THE AGENT OF PEACE:MONTESQUIEU AND THE IDEOLOGY OF LIBERALISM n the history of liberalism, Montesquieu, who died two hundred and Ififty years ago, is an iconic figure. Montesquieu is cited as the source of the idea of checks and balances, or separation of powers, and thus as an intellectual inspiration of the American founding.1 Among liberal internationalists, Montesquieu is known above all for the notion that international trade leads to peace among nation-states. When liberal international relations theorists such as Michael Doyle attribute this posi- tion to Montesquieu,2 they cite Book XX of the Spirit of the Laws,3 in which Montesquieu claims: “The natural effect of commerce is to bring peace. Two nations that negotiate between themselves become recipro- cally dependent, if one has an interest in buying and the other in selling. And all unions are based on mutual needs.”4 On its own, Montesquieu’s claim raises many issues. Montesquieu’s point is that trade based on mutual dependency discourages war. Here, Montesquieu abstracts entirely from the relative power of the states in question, a concern that is pervasive in his concrete analyses of relation- ships among political communities. For example, later on in the same section of the Spirit of the Laws he mentions that trade relations between Carthage and Marseille led to jealousy and a security conflict: There were, in the early times, great wars between Carthage and Mar- seille concerning the fishery. After the peace, they competed in eco- nomic commerce.

CHAPTER SEVEN Machiavelli’s Democratic Turn Catherine H. Zuckert Against the common opinion that says that peoples, when they are princes, are varying, mutable, and ungrateful, I affirm that . a prince unshackled from the laws will be more ungrateful, varying, and imprudent than a people. The variation in their proceeding arises not from a diverse nature – because it is in one mode in all – but from having more or less respect for the laws. A people is more prudent, more stable, and of better judgment than a prince. If a people hears two orators who incline to different sides, when they are of equal virtue, very few times does one see it not take up the better opinion. If it errs in mighty things or those that appear useful, . often a prince errs too in his own passions, which are many more than those of peoples. It is also seen in its choices of magistrates to make a better choice by far than a prince; a people will never be persuaded that it is good to put up for dignities an infamous man of corrupt customs – of which a prince is persuaded easily.

  • Machiavelli's the Prince Introduction by Merrilee H
    Landmarks in Critical Thinking Series: Machiavelli's The Prince Introduction by Merrilee H. Salmon (modified) Niccolò Machiavelli, born in 1469, wrote The Prince during 1513 while living in political exile at his country house outside of Florence. He had served as head of the second chancery of the Florentine republic but was dismissed after it fell in 1512. The Medici family was again ruling Florence, and a Medici also sat on the papal throne in Rome. Machiavelli tried unsuccessfully to use this treatise to gain an advisory appointment either to the papacy or the court of the Duke. The Prince was published in 1532, five years after Machiavelli died. The Prince aroused controversy from its first appearance, and in 1559, it joined the works of Erasmus and other humanist scholars on the Papal Index of Prohibited Books. As a guide to princely behavior, the work falls into a genre common to the Renaissance and to the Classical periods. As a work of humanist scholarship, it shows a thorough grasp of classical writing style and draws examples from a wide variety of classical and biblical texts. Yet to describe The Prince as belonging to either of these categories understates its power and originality. Critics have praised Machiavelli for his sophistication, clarity, realism, subtlety, and irony. Some see his work as supporting a republican form of government by exposing the faults of princedoms, and praise his ability to separate political from moral issues. Other critics condemn him for being naive, promoting fraud, force, and immorality in politics, using beneficial ends to justify evil means, and betraying republican ideals.
