8. c Charles II was the last of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty, physically disabled, mentally retarded and disfigured (possibly through affliction with mandibular
prognathism — he was unable to chew). His tongue was so large that his speech could barely be understood, and he frequently drooled. He may also have
suffered from the bone disease acromegaly. He was treated as virtually an infant in arms until he was ten years old. Fearing the frail child would be overtaxed,
he was left entirely uneducated, and his indolence was indulged to such an extent that he was not even expected to be clean. When his half-brother John of
Austria the Younger, a natural son of Philip IV, obtained power by exiling the queen mother from court, he insisted that at least the king's hair should be
combed. The years of Charles II were agonizing for Spain. The economy was stagnant, there was hunger in the land, and the power of the monarchy over
the various Spanish provinces was extremely weak. Charles' unfitness for rule meant he was often ignored and power during his reign became the subject of
court intrigues and foreign, particularly French, influence. As the American historians Will and Ariel Durant put it, Charles II was "short, lame, epileptic,
senile, and completely bald before thirty-five, he was always on the verge of death, but repeatedly baffled Christendom by continuing to live

11. d Sejms severely limited the king's powers. They had the final decision in legislation, taxation, budget, and treasury matters (including military funding),
foreign affairs and ennoblement. Until the end of 16th century, unanimity was not required and majority voting was most common. Later, with the rise of the
magnates power, unanimity principle was reinforced with the szlachta right of liberum veto (from Latin, meaning: I freely forbid). If the deputies could not
attain unanimity, then after six weeks (the upper time limit of its sittings) had elapsed, the deliberations as a whole were declared null and void. From the
mid-17th century onwards, any objection to a Sejm resolution from either a deputy or a senator automatically caused other, previously approved resolutions
to be rejected.

30. d Blaise Pascal (pronounced [blɛz paskal]), (June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a
child prodigy who was educated by his father. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the
construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista
Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.
Pascal was a mathematician of the first order. He helped create two major new areas of
research. He wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of sixteen, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on
probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following a mystical experience in late 1654, he
abandoned his scientific work and devoted himself to philosophy and theology.

Succession and then reversed in the Seven Years' War. The essence of the revolution may be thus summarized: France and Prussia versus Great Britain and
Austria became France and Austria versus Great Britain and Prussia.
