Thank you We sneak Did here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by the treaty of paris on ly

00:08

one letter away from being a delicious quest sel or

00:12

any claire We're not take a look The image right

00:15

there led by a thon shaking baby All right well

00:18

here's question A major challenge to absolutism can be seen

00:22

in what and hear your potential answers All right So

00:28

we're talking about challenging absolute authority which kind of brings

00:31

up the question if it's absolute authority can it be

00:34

challenged Have we entered a paradox Is this like the

00:37

twilight zone We anyway back to the question of all

00:41

the action bills listed which posed a major challenge toe

00:44

absolutism Was it be the habeas corpus act Well sort

00:49

it challenged absolutism but not the kind we're talking about

00:52

We're looking for a challenge tow absolute rule but this

00:55

act forced the court to examine evidence but before detaining

00:59

01:34

01:43

was a the english bill of rights drafted in sixteen

01:47

eighty nine bill challenged absolute rule in europe by guaranteeing

01:51

certain rights to citizens and protecting them from the power
