REVIEWING THEMES
1. Separation of powers seeks to protect
individual liberty by not vesting too
much authority in the hands of any one
individual or government body.
2. Natural laws are laws that govern the
natural world. Scientists believed they
should also govern human society.
3. Divine right is the belief that the right to
rule was granted by God. Kings, queens,
and emperors believed they ruled by
divine right.
Social Studies Skills
PRACTICE THE SKILL
Students may find that the Encyclopedia,
also known as the Dictionnaire, told the
average person that he or she could know
the same information that priests, kings,
and emperors knew. The Dictionnaire gave
everyone access to rational information.
So, in that way, the Dictionnaire was a very
revolutionary document. It is possible that the
Dictionnaire helped revolutionary movements
by including common trades right along with
arts and sciences. The Dictionnaire also let
people see the close relationship a culture and
its technology.
REVIEW ACTIVITY: CONCEPT WEB
Students’ concept webs should show
relationships between key ideas and the
people who promoted them, as well as
related events. Higher-quality products will
include a greater number of interconnected
relationships between three or more ideas,
persons, and events.
APPLY THE SKILL
Students’ answers may vary, but should show
an understanding of how more than one force
may be at work to influence change.
