thus not being connected anyway to the area they ruled. Louis sought to unify France when it came to religion ? thus selecting one religion in which people in this area could believe in and practice. But, he was met with fierce opposition. Louis met this opposition with a large army and raging warfare in which many churches and schools were destroyed.…
For Louis XIV, achieving religious unity in France was of major concern as it was a challenge to his absolutism. Being a devote Catholic, Louis wanted to unite France under Catholicism as the presence of other unorthodox religions meant that Louis was not supported in every way, like an absolute King should be. Many, including Louis, saw the King of France to be ‘The Most Christian King’, and so, in order to comply with this, achieving religious unity would be essential. Throughout his reign Louis XIV attempted to persecute other religious groups within France such as the Huguenots, Jansenists and the Quietists, his success and the consequences in doing so effectively decided his overall success in achieving unity.…

Louis XIV was one of France’s most effective and powerful monarchs. He strengthened his rule with a policy of absolutism. Where the king gained authority directly from God or the divine right to rule. There were no legal limits to the powers that the king could exercise, however, during his rule a monarch had certain influential groups of people who the king needed to negotiate and consult in order to establish an effective functioning government. Among these groups where the land owning nobility, royal officer nobles, the royal commissioners, the Catholic Church, the bourgeoisie and the peasants. More notably seen the King Louis XIV is regarded as the “sun king” because of the great grandeur he exemplified during his reign. The book, Louis XIV and Absolutism by William Beik, presents a balanced outlook into the first half of Louis’ rule in France and how he was able to use absolutism to solidify his reign.…
King Louis XIV was a man of strength and courage with many ambitions that he was fully determined to achieve. He dedicated most of his rule taking steps to accomplish the goal of “one king, one law, one faith” for the country of France. By one king he aimed for the ruler to have supreme power over armies, government bureaucracy, and culture. This would eventually lead to the overall influence of the French upon other countries and their kings. By way of one law he aspired for the nobles to no longer rule over separate states but for one government with supreme power. King Louis had a desire for an absolute monarchy. As a result he would not be legally bound by any institutions or other persons in the country. This inclination was not easily met or as successful as he had hoped. Louis XIV sought religious unity between the French people, one faith. To do this he revoked the Edict of Nantes. King Louis XIV did not achieve his entire goal to the extent which he had anticipated but overall he was victorious, leaving a huge impact and influence on the French society and Europe as a whole.…
After he took power, Louis XIV made the nobility tax exempt, so the heavy burden of the taxes lied on the peasants, which made their already hard lives even tougher. In document 3, it explains how Louis XIV keeps his courtier in line so that they stay diligent in pleasing him. The documents also depicts his oppressiveness, stating that Louis XIV had many spies that tattled on anyone of any class which ruined the person’s life since the king was a prejudice who did not bother to ask for explanations. Other cruel changes he made during his rule was revoking the Edict of Nantes, which tolerated the Huguenots in France and gave them religious rights. In place of the Edict of Fontainebleau, which allowed the destruction of all Protestant churches and schools throughout France. During the War of the Spanish Succession, Louis XIV prioritized his personal interests above his country’s because he wanted to insure his grandson's, Philip V, right to inherit the Spanish Empire. The war weakened France and situated the country in a huge financial debt, which was blamed on Louis XIV. This shows his views on how to be a proper role of an absolute monarch; apparently, you can do whatever you want since you hold the power and as long as you keep those who have the ability to rebel under control. It also implies that his views are that…
Louis XIV was the epitome of an absolute monarch. Through his endless wars, extreme extravagance, and absolute control over taxes and the economy, he set the example for other European powers. His absolute rule brought about both positives and negatives. By building a large army to defend and expand his borders, he alienated other empires and created enemies. Placing political power and faith in the nobility helped him rule a vast kingdom but displaced him from the common man. His obsession with being a great conqueror expanded France to its largest in history, but nearly bankrupted the country and resulted in losing more territory than he gained. Although Louis XIV brought many improvements to France, as well as western society, his insatiable lust for war and extravagance caused more harm than good to the French Empire.…
Louis XIV was for the flair, fun, and fancy, focusing on the fact that he was the ‘sun’ of France. A patron of the arts, Louis’ policies mainly focused on improving his own social standing and power over his nobility, making sure they were all wrapped around his little finger. He let Colbert and Mazarin do the rest. One of Louis’ main goals was to bear whiteness or be the cause of the destruction of the Hapsburgs who were now declining in power. Louis also made sure that the church of France didn’t mess with his idea of divine right, bullying anyone who stood out against it by throwing them in jail or killing them. Another difference between the two monarchs was the state of the nobility. Louis’ French nobles inherited titles based on their family and their money.…
They hoped to gain power by sanctioning the monarch. Bands of fighters, led by nobles, terrorized and plundered the lower classes around the country in an effort to deteriorate the king's authority. Eventually, they hired Spanish troops to carry on their fight, even though Spain and France were presently at war. Although the movement failed, it left an enduring imprint on the general public as to the worth of having a commanding monarch to safeguard them from things in analogous nature to the revolt. When the Cardinal died in 1661, Louis XIV, whom Cardinal Mazarin had been governing for a while, took supremacy. Louis XIV became the absolute, resilient ruler that France had been looking for to reestablish order in France. Louis XIV took hold of the country and put himself at the head of government. An excerpt from Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Holy Scripture states, “Without this absolute authority, the king could neither do good nor prevent evil. His power must be such that no one can hope to escape him”. It also states that, “Royal power is absolute”, and, “All the power of the individual subjects is united in the person of the king” (Bishop Jacques Bossuet). The Estates General was never called together, and most of the…

In this lab we employed various assays utilizing a biuret reagent, coomassie brilliant blue reagent, and ultraviolet light in order to determine the identity of six unknown solutions and the concentration of a bovine serum albumin sample. We were given three samples that lacked protein, and three samples containing proteins, and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted, based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used included lysozyme, protamine sulfate, and bovine serum albumin, and the three non-protein samples contained either RNA, tyrosine, and glycylglycylglycine. Standard curves were created to exhibit the linear relationship between the concentration of solute (protein, non-protein) and the resulting absorbance.…
After the Sun King stated, “I am the state,” the people of France knew that he was the only, divine ruler of their country, and were made to believe that anything he does is infallible. During his reign, the nobility didn’t have much say in the French laws, foreign policies, or commerce, but were house at Louis’ palace at Versailles to keep them close and happy. Most nobles were exempt from taxation and boasted great wealth, but had no political influence. A majority of Louis’s reign was spent in war, which forced many nobles to fulfill their obligation as soldiers. The French nobility preserved their privileged position under Louis XIV, but never obtained the political titles taken over by ministers, bishops, and France’s top thinkers…
