Francis Bacon Dbq
1584 he started his job as a parliamentarian, he realized that he should have three goals throughout the rest of his life which were to serve his country, to serve his church, and most of all to find the truth. From the matter of perspective he did all three of these things, however with jealousy, lies, controversy, and everything that a juror will have to face he will have to embrace that the truth will have weaving lies in between. But at a different point as a parliament knowledge was power allowing him to have over eight thousand cases in his lifetime.
As a parliament he was never exceeded nor respected by society due to his debt. Even though his job paid well it didn’t put a dent, and with the expenses of travel and other expenses it didn’t help him more forward anymore, even where James the first came to play.

    Even though the pope is sitting on a what viewers usually think is a sedia gestatoria, it does not appear that way. Bacon painted the sedia gestatoria slightly overlapping the pope which made the pope appear kind of hemmed in. The effect is greatly enhanced because it is thick lines of yellow. We associate yellow as light, which lead viewers to believe he is in an electric chair. And then on top of all that you've got these vertical stripes, almost very thinly painted, which seem to hold captive of the pope, similar to a prison. These parallel light and dark striation has feature in Bacon’s paintings many times. Propaganda imagery of the Nazi ‘cathedral of light’ is possible model Bacon has used as a reference for those vertical stripes.…

    Whereas on the face of it source eleven seems to disagree with the other two sources as it demonstrates how it was not James’ extravagance that was causing him financial trouble. In this source it states that payments to the king, for example taxes are not paid or collected and also ‘The Earl of Dorset’ goes on to say that the fact James I has a family is another reason for his financial trouble. Furthermore as this this is a letter from the ‘Lord Treasurer’ to ‘The Chancellor of the Exchequer’ this is the most reliable source about whether it was James’ extravagance that was causing him financial problems as between them they are the people who look after and maintain the treasury.…

    James on the other hand was very different. James' was a confident, well educated man who loved being extravagant and spending money on himself and his favourites. James was a believer in the divine right of kings but he was not absolutist he recognised that he had to consider parliaments views. As he was in debt, he needed them to raise subsidies to fund his extravagant life. For example although this didn’t go through On July 16th 1610 in the Great Contract parliament offered James £180,000 to buy James feudal rights James recognised his…

    When living in the court of King Henry VIII, one must be cautious at all times. A single wrong move, and the overly paranoid King would have your head in a basket before you had the chance to make your case. This lesson was learned by the King’s closest advisor, Thomas Cromwell in the early half of the 16th century. “Class was everything at the court of Henry VIII. You were born into greatness. You did not work your way up.” English society has always been notoriously classist, and this was especially true during the time of the Tudor throne. Despite the odds however, Cromwell managed to quickly rise through the ranks of English society. He worked his way through the English upper classes and made both himself, and his station essential to…

    17th Century Dbq

    The 16th Century brought an array of changes to the various economies around the world. The Age of Exploration accompanied with the Scientific Revolution created trade between Spain and the rest of the world. However, this would change with the entry of the 17th Century. During the mid 17th century, the Dutch Republic enjoyed a flourishing economy, dominance in the shipbuilding industry, and European recognition as a dominant nation. The English competed with the Dutch for the top of the economic hierarchy at the time. During the late 17th and early 18th century, the Dutch Republic encountered a stumbling decline which led to their loss in the monopoly in Baltic and Atlantic trade, and the rise of England and France as the new monopolies of…

    The first suspect I think was guilty was himself, Thomas Becket. This is because the king ordered this archbishop (Becket) to reform the church courts, but Becket had his other plans and disagreed, by saying, “ the one who stands before you only serves God” and as Thomas Becket refused to do so, the king ended up getting angry.…

    As is suggested in Source 12, ‘[Elizabeth] had to turn to parliament for assistance’ during much of her reign to fund wars which gave Parliament quite significant control over her policies. This realisation for parliament marked the beginning of an era of difficulties for monarchs and their parliaments. It can further be derived from Source 12 that ‘[parliament] used her need of [funds] to make their views known’. Parliament’s consistent use of this throughout James’ reign in questioning his authority (and therefore sparking a debate over divine right and parliamentary privilege) and policies was an attempt by Parliament to make themselves a necessary commodity. This is corroborated by Source 13, ‘If accept that kings have the power of imposing new and higher duties and the right to do this is confirmed, I do not see and likelihood of future parliaments.’ Parliament’s use of subsidies to control the monarch is further confirmed in Source 12, ‘they forced the queen to concede the substance of their demands’. However, far from making themselves indispensable (as is shown to be their intention in Source 13, ‘Where prince’s prerogatives grow, the liberties of subjects diminish’) Parliament primarily succeeded in driving a greater wedge between themselves and James. James…

    * Historical and fictional accounts of the trials often depict him as convinced that the accused were guilty, so he was considered a harsh judge at the time e.g. when Martha Corey is accused for witchcraft: ‘Why do you hurt these children?’ – he does not question the accusation, only asks for a motive.…

    To fully understand the causes of the breakdown we need to look what inherited problems James had to face. Elizabeth had created a debt of £400,000 which was passed onto James, so already he faced severe financial problems. On top of this was the 16th century price rise, which had created an inflation of 400%. This created the ‘Canker of want' (James) where income was less than expenditure. Inflation had seriously decreased the value of subsidies granted by parliament from £140,000 in 1500 to £72,500 in 1600. James was not happy with ‘the greatness of my debt and the smallest of my means'. Fixed rents and poor management of his feudal dues created even more problems for James; he could no longer ‘Live of his own' and had to rely on money from parliament. As Russell said ‘ The Stuarts inherited a financial system that was already at the point of breakdown'.…

While he was very skeptical of how long it took to be able to study the Bible, he completed the training and was able to study the Bible.

    James I was a very educated man, well read in theology and political theory. Having taken over the Scottish throne at the age of thirteen months, one can think that when he started ruling England he was more than enough prepared for being a king. However, I should say that to me he was neither a good nor a bad king since he took some good and wrong decisions during his reign.…

    Sir Frances Bacon

    • 2805 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Francis Bacon is generally recognized as the first great writer of English philosophy although he had no great respect for the English language. It is a known fact that Bacon is influenced by Montaigne. Emerson is the one modern writer with whom Bacon may be fairly compared, for their method is much the same. They endeavour to reach the reader’s mind by a series of aphoristic attacks. In rhetorical power, musical cadence, quaint turns of speech, he is equalled by many of his contemporaries, excelled by a few, but for a clear, terse, easy writing, he has no peer save Ben Jonson, and even to-day his Essays are models of succinct, lucid prose. Material success and services to humanity were his objects in life. These aims were sometimes in conflict; though he did his best to blend them, and when the tussle came, personal considerations won the day.…
