� “Today I was called to a particular conference at the residence of one of the bishops of this kingdom, along with many others of his rank and some other deputies from the nobility. There a certain formula of association was proposed, whose purpose was to break the last edict of pacification and to place the king at war against those of the so-called Protestant religion. . I remarked that it seemed to me that the king ought not to be counseled to go to war, because of the recent injuries the kingdom has suffered, and that anyone who favors civil war is ungodly and deserves our prayer. . Concerning the present formula of association, I say that I cannot sign it and call myself a servant of the king. I know that war is unjust if it is not conducted and undertaken by the king in his faithful and holy council. ” � Pierre de Blanchefort, French nobleman, diary entry, 1576 � a) Describe one historical development illustrated by the passage. � b) Describe Blanchefort’s argument regarding war against the Protestants.

And lastly, we find that endeavours have been and are used to bring the English army into conflict with this Parliament. . Therefore we thought it good to join ourselves in a declaration of our united affections and resolutions, and to make this ensuing Protestation. THE PROTESTATION: I, _______, in the presence of Almighty God promise, vow, and protest, to maintain and defend, as far as lawfully I may with my Life, Power, and Estate, the true Reformed Protestant Religion, expressed in the Doctrine of the Church of England against all Popery and Popish Innovations according to the duty of my Allegiance to His Majesty’s Royal Person, Honour and Estate. ” Protestation of the House of Commons, London, 1641 a) Describe the historical situation that led to the creation of this Protestation. b) Describe the likely purpose of the Protestation. c) Describe one piece of evidence used to support Parliament’s claim about the threat to the kingdom.

Preamble to Declaration of Independence We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
