Thesis Statements Practice for First Day Exam Review

1. Analyze the ways in which European monarchs used both the arts and the sciences to
enhance state power in the period circa 1500–1800.


European Monarchs, such as the Holy Roman Emperor and kings of Spain, turned against art and science if it did not support their religious view and therefore weakened their empire to advancement, such as the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor charging Galileo with heresy; while smaller leaders and families like the Medici in Italy supported the arts and sciences and were even patrons to the arts. 


 2. Analyze the various Protestant views of the relationship between church and state in
the period circa 1500–1700.

 3. Analyze the various effects of the expansion of the Atlantic trade on the economy of
Western Europe in the period circa 1450–1700.
