The Congress of Vienna
the Congress of Vienna

This essay is about the effects of the French Revolution on Europe, the
Congress of Vienna, and its goals. It will tell about the role of Nationalism,
Liberalism, and conservatism in this time period. Also it will tell of the
European's revolutions between 1830 and 1848. The Congress of Vienna's main goals were to bring an end to the
Napoleonic wars and restore peace in Europe. There were two opposing political philosophies that greatly influenced events in the 1800's. They were Liberalism and conservatism. Leberalism is a philosophy that supports guarantees for individual freedom, political change, and social reform. At the time of the
Congress of Vienna, Liberals supported the ideas of the Enlightenment and the
French Revolution. Conservatism is a philosophy that doesn't want change that would threaten that way of life. It supports the traditional political and social order. Conservatives didn't want nationalism because they thought that it would overthrow the traditional political order. The role of Nationalism is that during the Nineteenth century it had begun the urge to form a nation. Liberalism supported nationalism at that time because it united people in a common cause. On the other hand, Conservatives feared nationalism because of its threat to overthrow the traditional political order. The goals of the Congress of Vienna were the Balance of Power, which meant no nation would be too strong or too weak. Another goal was the Return of Monarchs. Louis XVIII issued a constitution to return. The Congress of
Vienna wanted to redraw borders. The leaders paid little attention to the people when redrawing Europe. The Prince Metternich system was a system that made absolute rule return. Four nations agreed to act as the "Fire department" of Europe, this was known as the Quad Alliance. The Holy Alliance said that nations would let God guide their relations. In conclusion to this essay, there are and were many

    The Articles of Confederation needed to be replaced because it was created to keep the states independent from a national government. In the Articles of Confederation it stated "Its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right . . . not . . . expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled." It was created to pretty much let the states stay as independent as possible and keep a National government weak. The only thing was to make sure that security of liberties, common defense and general welfare were protected. The weakness of the Articles of Confederation were that each state only had one vote in congress, congress had no authority to tax, there was no national court system, there was no executive branch to enforce acts passed by congress as well as many other flaws. The Framers did not like how this was constructed so it took several years to correct and agree on the document. The framers decided that there was a need for a stronger federal government so they created the US Constitution to fix the problems that were in the Articles of Confederation. Some things that were changed or included were in the Articles of Confederation it has a Unicameral legislature, the Constitution has a Bicameral legislature divided into the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Articles of Confederation has between two and seven members per state in congress, in the Constitution there two senators per state with representatives apportioned according to the population of the state. There are also several other differences but in all both documents closely resemble each other. A lot of people thought that the Constitution was giving too much power to the National government and that it was no different than having a monarchy. I think people eventually accepted the Constitution because people saw how everything worked with a weak government and incidents like Shays rebellion made people realize that a need for a stronger…
