I was just wondering if you would be willing to read over some documents and then read my essay or just read my essay and help me improve my essay? So, I can get a 7-9.

JEEEEEEEEDAN
I took AP Euro my Junior year in High School...needless to say, I didn't pass until the second semester. In fact....
This was after that year:
Anyway, with the DBQ's, the best advice I can give is to put yourself in that person's shoes (and know enough about the groups and people to actually do that) and think about their biases and where they're coming from. A newspaper, a personal journal, a letter, etc. Also watch out for hear-say - you don't know if everything is fact that's given to you. Like I said, I only passed second semester - I don't know crap about AP Euro, lol.

I was hoping some one could go over the DBQ I wrote and tell me some things I could do better. I am quessing there are a huge amount of mistakes. I am not going for spelling or word choice. I need help on the format of the DBQ. So, if you have any advice in that regard please post it. I know that my thesis is not done very well becuase I couldn't think about anything to write. I don't know how many people will want to look over this if at all. But, even if you responded in a few days going over the DBQ's for 15 minutes one day and the essay another day it would still be helpful.
Thanks.
DBQ 1: Attitudes about Religion in the Late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance(Chapter 12 and 13)
Question: What degree did criticism in the late Middle Ages influence attitudes toward religion during the early Renaissance?
Document 1:
Source: Marsiglio of Padua (Rector of the University of Paris),
Defensor Pacis [Defender of the Peace], 1324.
The Roman bishops wrongly wish to possess excessive temporal goods, and refuse to be subject to the laws and edicts of the rulers or the human legislator, thereby opposing the example and teaching of Christ and the apostles.
Document2:
Source: The council of Pisa, 1409.
This holy and general Council, representing the universal church, decrees and declares that the united college of cardinals was empowered to call the council and that the power to call such a council belongs of right to the aforesaid holy college of cardinals, especially now when there is a detestable schism. The council further declared that this holy council, representing the universal church, caused both claimants of the papal throne to be cited in the gates and doors of the churches in Pisa to come and hear the final decision [in the matter of the schism] pronounced, or to give a good and sufficient reason why such sentence should not be rendered.
Document3:
Source: Pico della Mirandola, Oration on the Dignity of Man, 1486
On man when he came into life the Father conferred the seeds of all kinds and the germs of every way of life. Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow to maturity and bear in him their own fruit. If they be vegetative, he will be like a plant. If sensitive, he will become brutish. If rational, he will grow into a heavenly being. If intellectual, he will be an angel and the son of god. And if, happy in the lot of no created thing, he withdraws into the center of his own unity, his spirit, made on with God, in the solitary darkness of God, who is set above all things, shall surpass them all.
Document 4:
Source: Erasmus, The Praise of Folly, 1509.
As for the theologians, perhaps it would be better to pass them over in silence, “not stirring up the hornets’ nest” and “not laying a finger on the stinkweed,” since this race of man is incredibly arrogant and touchy. For they might rise up en masse and march in ranks against me with six hundred conclusions and force me to recant. And if I should refuse, they would immediately shout “heretic.” For this is the thunderbolt they always keep ready at a moment’s notice to terrify anyone to whom they are not very favorably inclined.
The Late Middle Ages held criticism that influenced the attitude toward Religion during, the early Renaissance. Criticism of the papal wealth, special privileges and superiority in the Late Middle Ages made people want to break away from religion in the early Renaissance.
In, the 1300’s and 1400’s Catholics went to extreme measures to secure wealth disregarded laws and edicts put forth by Church Leaders in the process. Marsiglio of Padua’s Defensor Pacis written in 1324 explains how Roman Bishops opposed the example and teachings put forth by Christ and the apostles. It states that they wrongly wished to possess wealth and would go to extreme measures to obtain it. Going as far as to ignore the laws and edicts set forth by Christ and the apostles. Marsiglio was a Rector for the University of Paris. Rectors are members of the Catholic Clergy put in charge colleges, Congregations, or a religious community. Therefore, he is a much respected man trying to tell other Catholic’s that there are matters needing dire attention. This would cause many people interested in becoming a Catholic to back off. The council of Pisa declared that only the Cardinals were given the right to call the Council in 1409. This gives them immense power; they could easily create and put forth laws that could drastically affect the lives of their people. This could greatly influence people’s thoughts on the Catholic Religion; they would not want to be controlled, not having any decision in how they should be ruled. An additional document by a Christian that holds no power could give us much insight into how regular Christians believed the Catholic Religion was being ran. The 1300’s and 1400’s were a time when the Catholic Religion disregarded laws and went to extreme measures to obtain wealth.
The Catholic people thought of themselves as being superior to others. They were not open to any other ideas or thoughts other than theirs. Pico della Mirandola’s Oration on the Dignity of Man written in 1486 puts forth the idea that if adopt the Catholic Religion then you shall surpass everyone else. Pico della Mirandola is a Catholic male that is trying to convert others to Catholicism. This could greatly influence people’s attitudes toward Religion. Some people would be put off by the idea that the Religion they were going to adopt believed they were superior to others. Erasmus author of The Praise of Folly written in 1509 explains how the Catholic people would raise an army and march up against him if he went against god. They would force him to deny his original thoughts or he would be a heretic. This was ready at a moment’s notice if any one went against their beliefs. Erasmus is considered to be the most influential person of his time. His abilities to influence people could cause this document to become invalid. He could be trying to convince people to reconsider their beliefs and turn to his. An additional document by a normal non-Christian could help to see how regular people viewed the Christian people. During, the early Renaissance Christians believed they were superior and weren’t open to other ideas or thoughts.
Criticism of the Bishop’s undeniable need for wealth, special privileges and superiority of Christians in the Late Middle Ages greatly influenced people’s views toward religion in the early Renaissance. The bishops of the 1300’s went to great measures to obtain wealth disregarding laws and edicts put forth by leaders of the Church in the process. Catholics also thought of themselves as superior to others and weren’t open to other ideas or thoughts. As, you can see religion in the early Renaissance was greatly influenced by Criticism in the Late Middle Ages.
Thanks.
