1) Everyone was critical of the king, noble and clergy has an easy life style. They didn't have to pay tax for lands
2) In 1789 the French would grumble about the taxes to the king. They already have very little money, and they would have to pay a lot of taxes.
3) This picture is saying that the peasants do all the work and lift the King and nobles and clergy up. They carry the burden of maintaining the feudal lords and clergy. The peasant is on the bottom and the other two are the Clergy and feudal lords. The quote means that the peasants hope that this abuse will end soon.
4) The french lives horrible. They always have to please the king, do this and that for him. They had to give the 20kg of wheat and 3 chickens as feudal dues to one lord and even more to the kings tax collectors.
5) Yes, it does explain why they resented the rich. The wealthy men and women has to do very little and gained a lot of money. Poor men and women has to pay stocks and pay for taxes with only $750-$200 a year. All the peasant money was given away to the wealthy.
6) The peasants would be most influenced by his words, He is trying to say 1 man can't control over 1000 people.
7) I think that the pamphlet was banned because they knew that if the people saw this they would rebel. The rich and clergy wanted to ban it because they knew that the only reason they were so rich and had so much power was because of the peasant's.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"
The rights Jefferson was talking about is all men are created equal. Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No, man has more rights without anymore. Were all balanced, and equal.
Where does the government get its powers? The government gets the power from us, the people, us the equal men and women. We can like the government one day and not the next. We can take it down, we can get a new government. We rater have Safety and Happiness. As long as the foundation stands, we can decide who goes in, and who comes out. Us, the people control the government.
Jefferson got most his idea's from John Locke, and he influenced the democracy.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo
The reason Galileo was put on trial is because, the Church didn't agree with what he believed. They also made him kneel on the ground to take back what he has believe in. Galilo believe the Copernican planetary system.
Copernican planetary system, where the all the planets orbits around the sun. The church didn't believe this, they believe that the sun orbits around the planets. If he disobeyed he will be put into house prison for life. He has disobeyed. The very next day, they put him on house arrest.
There has been many argument between the church and Galileo. Saying which theory has came first, but there is only correct answer. One of the theory say that, the Sun orbits around the planets. The other day that the sun is in the center of the universe, and the earth orbit around it. Which one is correct? Apparently the Sun orbiting around the earth is a joke. The correct answer is that the Sun is in the middle and the planets orbits around it. The heliocentric theory has come first, and also the correct answer.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
The scientific method is a method of figuring something out. Its to solve a question. This method was used by Greeks and Romans to solve questions. This method contains a question, research, hypothesis, Procedure/Method, Data, Observation, and Conclusion. Each a everyone single one has a meaning to it, also each and everyone you answer your one step away from getting the answer to the questions.
Question - Ask a questions.
Research - Gathering information.
Hypothesis - An educated guess, guessing if your answer to your question is correct or incorrect.
Procedure/Method - Take down everything your doing, step by step.
Data - The information you have collected to help you solve your question.
Observation - Write down what you notice that happen during the test.
Conclusion - Write down if your Hypothesis was correct or incorrect.
Using all these steps, it should be able to make you solve your question. The Greeks and Romans used this to solve question. These steps worked as a charm. In 1-5th Grade they made us do Science project, these projects were base on the Scienific Method. I have to think of a question and solve it like the steps above. In the end, I would have the answer to the question. These method help alot. Try it!

Evolution vs. Creation
Until this day, no one can prove which theory is correct, Evolution or Creation. I personally think both of them is correct depending on how I think of it. Let me start with Evolution and then go on to Creation.
Dawrins Theory of Evolution talks about how things evolve to others, which is correct. Many water animals have legs before they started to evolve. For example manatees had hind limb back then, but nowadays they don't. So, I believe as time past things change. Humans too, Humans are mammals, scientist thinks that we are evolve from monkeys, because we look very similar to them. Were like a chain, we grow and change to others, it takes thousands and hundred of years. Its all about time, back then there's no such things are computer, radio and TV. Look at us now, were all using computer, radios, and TV's. Were changing as we speak now.
As in for Creation, its true too. If you think way out of the topic. What created earth itself? Before things evolve, something had to be created. It can't of just been like, I'm god, Boom, human exist. If you think out the topic again, I think were all related, no matter how people argue. What created the earth? What created us? For example, My parents made me, and their parents made them. So, on and so forth. But, whats the beginning of this whole chain? It had to be 1 item before this whole chain started to build. Creation had to create something before evolution comes into hand.
So, as you can see, I think both is correct. But, no one will ever know. Since, it depends on what people believe. Some people think God exist, and some people don't. Its your choice to decide which is correct and which is wrong. So, is it Evolution or Creation, You decide!
