and one long essay (50%). Be prepared to answer questions on any
of the material covered in class: handouts; History of Western Society;

ESSAY QUESTION
You will receive
one of three questions below on the essay section. You will not know
which one of the three will be on the exam, so study for all of them.
Some pointers: answer the question as directly and clearly as possible.
Be sure to address all the components of the question. Remember to
integrate the relevant reading and lecture material to support your argument.
Always avoid vague generalizations. Refer to specific events, policies,
groups, ideas and individuals in your answers. Blue books will be
provided for your essay question.
1.
The Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Reformation greatly
altered the world in which Europeans lived. Write an essay describing
the significant social, political, and religious changes which took place
as a result of these movements. How might one argue that the Reformation
era marks the birth of the modern West?
2. In the seventeenth
century, the Spanish monarchy crumbled. At this same time, France became
a powerful, unified state. Why?
3. Both American
and French revolutionaries were greatly influenced by Enlightenment philosophy.
Using material covered in the course, discuss how Enlightenment thinkers
helped shape the revolutions in both countries.

IDEAS
