OBJECTIVES FOR THE DAY
 Be able to identify important monarchs and scientists
 Be able to compare and contrast absolute and
constitutional monarchs
 Be able to summarize the Scientific Revolution and its
lasting effects
5.2: CONSTITUTIONAL VS. ABSOLUTE
MONARCHIES
 An absolute monarchy is one where the monarch has supreme
or absolute power over their country.
 A divine right is a right given to them by God to rule. They also
argued that this divine right made it so they only had to answer
to the authority of God.
 Strong monarchs could gain new territory, strengthen armies and
improve economy
 As time went on citizens wanted church and rulers to have less
power so this resulted in constitutional monarchs
 A constitutional monarchy is sometimes called a democratic
monarchy. The monarch is not the head of state when it comes
to government power.

innovations developed well after you.Your job is to prepare an
explanation of 20th century science and innovation for the time capsule.
 Step 1: Choose five advances in 20th century science that you think are
the most important.
 Ex. Computer, Hair Dryer
 Step 2: Select pictures of objects that are symbolic of the advancements
that you selected.
 Step 3: Rank them in order from most important to least important.





explanation of why the advance was important
have one image for each of the five example slides that represents the
