<p>Who is the father of Humanism?
What is the difference between Civic Humanism and Northern Humanism?</p>

<p>oh, man, after reading this thread, I really need to brush up!</p>

Northern humanism - applied humanist principles to religion (reforming the Church)</p>

<p>Question: Explain the Defrenstration of Prague and it's significance.</p>

<p>It was signed after the deaths of Adolphus (Sweden) and Wallenstein (Danish). It strengthened the power of the Hapsburgs and weakened the power of the German princes.</p>

<p>Why did King Louis XIV rebuke the Edict of Nantes?</p>

<p>Correction......
Defenstration of Prague: Ferdinand violated Protestant liberties. Protestants threw two of his advisers out a window. Dropped 50 ft. Survived (said because of angels supporting Catholic cause). Initiated the Thirty Years' War</p>

<p>King Louis XIV rebuked Edict of Nantes to end Protestant worship. (Is there a more direct answer...?)</p>

<p>Identify three mediums of Renaissance art and how humanist qualities are important for art.</p>

<p>correction - they survived because they landed in a pile of dung that cushioned their fall</p>

<p>Haha, yes. That would be the Protestant view, and a very realistic view...</p>

<p>Oh yes, sorry I mixed up the Treaty of Prague with the Defenstration</p>

<p>How could I miss that about those officials landing into manure =P</p>

<p>CBA -- it seems like we dont know the answer to your art question - can you post it</p>

<p>sculpture, paintings, and architecture were 3 mediums of Renaissance artwork. For the first time, the focus was on humans rather than God and the human body was glorified through sculpture and paintings. There were more earthly themes, although some artwork was religious. The subjects showed more emotion. There was also much Greco-Roman influence in the artwork.</p>

<p>New Question:</p>

<p>Who was Edmund Burke, what did he say?</p>

<p>Edmund Burke was a conservative leader around the time of the French Revolution...He was upset with the attitudes of reform...he published Reflections on the Revolution in France which basically defended European conservatism, the monarchy, and aristocracy...in addition he believed that reform would only lead to more chaos </p>

<p>my question is...who was nicknamed the "most catholic kings" and who gave them this title?</p>

<p>what kind of question is that . . . that's not a question that will be on the AP test.</p>

<p>dont waste time please</p>

<p>New Question?</p>

Wanted to punish France for conquests during Napoleonic period, but did not weaken France because it had a place in the balance of power. Principle of legitimacy restored rulers and frontiers. </p>
