Question

What were the political ideas that motivated political movements in France and the rest of the Europe?

Answer 1

Answer:

Notable developments during the French Renaissance include the spread of humanism, early exploration of the "New World" (as New France by Giovanni da Verrazzano and Jacques Cartier); the development of new techniques and artistic forms in the fields of printing, architecture, painting, sculpture, music, the sciences and literature; and the elaboration of new codes of sociability, etiquette and discourse.

The French Renaissance traditionally extends from (roughly) the French invasion of Italy in 1494 during the reign of Charles VIII until the death of Henry IV in 1610. This chronology notwithstanding, certain artistic, technological or literary developments associated with the Renaissance arrived in France earlier (for example, by way of the Burgundy court or the Papal court in Avignon); however, the Black Death of the 14th century and the Hundred Years' War kept France economically and politically weak until the late 15th century.

Answer 2

Political ideas that motivated political movements in France and the rest of Europe are:

• Liberalism: Derived from the Latin word Libes meaning free. Liberalism talked about the concept of government by consent, and to privileges of higher classes.
• Nationalism: Early 16th and 17th century Europe was bound by a parochial vision of a kingdom, community, religion, etc. The ideas of nationalism began to emerge with paintings and folk songs that showed nation as a collective term.
• Equality: Europe and France in particular was divided into 3 classes known as estates- The Clergy, Nobles, and the rest of the population. The Clergy and Nobles had control over most of the resources and powers and all exploitation was for the third estate like heavy taxes, and poverty. The idea of equality motivated people to create a society that is just and equal. They gave equality before the law, voting rights, etc.
• Fraternity: The division of people along lines of class, money, etc. created conflicts. Fraternity emphasizes brotherhood and that the togetherness of all will strive the nation towards excellence.
• Justice: The idea of justice on the grounds of social, political, and economic pressed the idea that all are equal in the availing position of power, the same remuneration for the same work, and no discrimination between people.
