I--- Od Absolutyzmu Do Republiki Sprawdzian

| Term | Definition | |------|-------------| | Absolutyzm | System where the monarch holds supreme, unrestricted power (e.g., Louis XIV of France: "L’état, c’est moi") | | Republika | System where head of state is elected, not hereditary; sovereignty resides in the people or their representatives | | Oświecenie (Enlightenment) | Intellectual movement challenging absolutism, promoting liberty, equality, and democracy | | Umowa społeczna (Social contract) | Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke – key philosophers | | Trójpodział władzy | Montesquieu’s separation of powers (executive, legislative, judicial) |

Zapamiętaj ten łańcuch przyczynowo-skutkowy:

Absolutyzm → kryzys finansowy + idee oświecenia → rewolucja → monarchia konstytucyjna → upadek króla → republika → terror / wojny → chaos → dyktatura (Napoleon).

I druga oś: Ameryka: Anglia (absolutyzm?) → rewolucja 1776 → republika prezydencka (bez terroru).

Ten rozdział uczy nas jednego: systemy polityczne mają swoją cenę. Absolutyzm daje skuteczność i porządek, ale kosztem wolności obywateli. "Złota wolność" szlachecka wolność dawała demokrację dla nielicznych, ale prowadziła do anarchii. Republika (w USA i próba 3 Maja) to poszukiwanie złotego środka – rządów prawa, podziału władzy i odpowiedzialności obywateli.
