2. AN ENDURING ISSUE: IDEAS - One enduring issue in this chapter is the importance of ideas. Debates about the ideas underlying government, slavery, and nations shaped the most important events between 1750 and 1914. An ENDURING ISSUE is a challenge or problem that a society has faced and debated or discussed across time. An enduring issue is one that many societies have attempted to address with varying degrees of success.

From the book... People have long debated what gives a government the right to rule over individuals. In the 17th century, most Europeans believed that governments authority came directly from God. Late in the century, an English philosopher, John Locke, argued that the right to rule came from the consent of the people being governed.

Analyze a Primary Source John Locke, Second Treatise on Government, 1691 Men being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be...subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent [permission]. The only way, whereby any one divests [gives up] himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure enjoyment of their properties, and a greater security against any, that are not of it. This any number of men may do, because it injures not the freedom of the rest; they are left as they were in the liberty of the state of nature. When any number of men have so consented to make one community or govern- ment, they are thereby presently incorporated, and make one body politic, wherein the majority have a right to act and conclude the rest. For when any number of men have, by the consent of every individual, made a community, they have thereby made that community one body, with a power to act as one body, which is only by the will and determination of the majority: or else it is impossible it should act or continue one body, one community, which the consent of every indi- vidual that united into it, agreed that it should; and so every one is bound by that consent to be concluded by the ma- jority... And thus every man, by consenting with others to make one body politic under one government, puts himself under an obligation, to every one of that society, to submit to the determination of the majority, and to be concluded [act according to its decisions] by it.

5 Chapter 2 Enlightenment, Revolution, and Nationalism From the book... Read the excerpt and answer the questions. Jean-Jaques Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762 So long as men remained content with their rustic huts, so long as they were satisfied with clothes made of the skins of animals and sewn together with thorns and fish-bones, adorned themselves only with feathers and shells, and contin- ued to paint their bodies different colors, to improve and beautify their bows and arrows and to make with sharp- edged stones fishing boats or clumsy musical instruments; in a word, so long as they undertook only what a single per- son could accomplish, and confined themselves to such arts as did not require the joint labor of several hands, they lived free, healthy, honest and happy lives, so long as their nature allowed, and as they continued to enjoy the pleas- ures of mutual and independent intercourse. But from the moment one man began to stand in need of the help of an- other; from the moment it appeared advantageous to any one man to have enough provisions for two, equality disap- peared, property was introduced, work became indispensable, and vast forests became smiling fields, which man had to water with the sweat of his brow, and where slavery and misery were soon seen to germinate and grow up with the crops.

From the book... (1759-1797) was considered a radical for her time. She was a strong advocate for equal- ity between men and women at a time when traditional gender roles were changing.

Analyze a Primary Source Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792 That woman is naturally weak, or degraded by a concurrence of circumstances, is, I think, clear. But this position I shall simply contrast with a conclusion, which I have frequently heard fall from sensible men in favor of an aristocracy: that the mass of mankind cannot be anything, or the obsequious slaves, who patiently allow themselves to be driven for- ward, would feel their own consequence, and spurn their chains. Men, they further observe, submit everywhere to oppression, when they have only to lift up their heads to throw off the yoke; yet, instead of asserting their birthright, they quietly lick the dust, and say, ‘let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die’. Women, I argue from analogy, are de- graded by the same propensity to enjoy the present moment; and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain. But I must be more explicit… I lament that women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions, which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, they are insultingly supporting their own superiority. It is not condescension to bow to an inferior. So ludicrous, in fact, do these ceremonies appear to me, that I scarcely am able to govern my muscles, when I see a man start with eager, and serious solicitude to lift a handkerchief, or shut a door, when the LADY could have done it herself, had she only moved a pace or two.

8 Chapter 2 Enlightenment, Revolution, and Nationalism From the book... In France in 1789, one of the most important revolutions in world history began. The symbolic beginning oc- curred on July 14, When a mob seized control of a prison, the Bastille. Among the leaders was Camille Des- moulins, whose speech identified the problem that the outraged crowd wanted to address.

Analyze a Primary Source Camille Desmoulins, Speech at the Bastille, July 14, 1789 There is one difference between a monarchy and a , which alone should suffice to make people reject with hor- ror all monarchical rule and prefer a republic regardless of the cost of its establishment. In a democracy, though the people may be deceived, yet they at least love virtue. It is merit which they believe they put in power as substitutes for the rascals who are the very essence of mon- archies. The vices, concealments, and crimes which are the diseases of are the very health and existence of monarchies. Cardinal Richelieu avowed openly in his political principles, that “kings should always avoid using the tal- ents of thoroughly honest men.” Long before him Sallust said: “Kings can not get along without rascals; on the contrary, they should fear to trust the honest and upright.” It is, therefore, only under a democracy that the good citizen can reasonably hope to see a cessation of the triumphs of intrigue and crime; and to this end the people need only to be enlightened. There is yet this difference between a monarchy and a republic: the reigns of , Claudius, Nero, Caligula and Domitian [these were five rulers in Classic Rome whose reigns ended in conflict] all had happy beginnings. In fact, all reigns make a joyous entry, but this is only a delusion. Source: Camille Desmoulins, Speech at the Bastille, July 14, 1789.

From the book... Read the excerpt and answer the questions. Simon Bolivar, The Jamaica Letter, 1815 The role of the inhabitants of the American hemisphere has for centuries been purely passive. Politically they were nonexistent. We are still in a position lower than slavery, and therefore it is more difficult for us to rise to the enjoy- ment of freedom. Permit me these transgressions in order to establish the issue. States are slaves because of either the nature or the misuse of their constitutions; a people are therefore enslaved when the government, by its nature or its vices, infringes on and usurps the rights of the citizen or subject… We have been harassed by a conduct which has not only deprived us of our rights but has kept us in a sort of permanent infancy with regard to public affairs. If we could at least have managed our domestic affairs and our inter- nal administration, we could have acquainted ourselves with the processes and mechanics of public affairs… Despite the convictions of history, South Americans have made efforts to obtain liberal, even perfect, institu- tions, doubtless out of that instinct to aspire to the greatest possible happiness, which common to all men, is bound to follow in civil societies founded on the principles of justice, liberty, and equality. But are we capable of maintaining in proper balance the difficult charge of a republic? Is it conceivable that a newly emancipated people can soar to the heights of liberty, and, unlike Icarus [a character in Greek mythology who flew close to the sun and fell to his death when his wings melted], neither have its wings melt nor fall into an abyss? Such a marvel is inconceivable and without precedent. There is no reasonable probability to bolster our hopes.
