Program 31. 17th century Europe is characterized by the crown rulers controlling all powers of state. The desire for civil peace contributes to the crown's ability to enforce the "divine right of kings". Program 32. Two patterns of absolutism, the French and the English, are followed by all Europe. France strives to control by avoiding all change, while England turns to merchantilism and a strong national economy. Arguments begin about the consent of the governed. |
