Types of Government
• Theocracy: a government controlled by a religious leader AND a political leader
• Examples: if a civilization has a god-king, it is a theocracy
Types of Government
• Absolute monarchy: a government in which a king or queen (or emperor) has absolute control over their country
• When the king dies, his children will take over (hereditary)
• Example: if a civilization has a king and no one can tell the king no, it’s an absolute monarchy
Types of Government
• Democracy: a government in which the citizens make the decisions by voting directly on issues
• Example: if a citizen votes for his president directly, it is a democracy
Types of Government
• Republic: a government in which the citizens vote through representatives on issues
• Example: if a citizen votes for representatives who then make decisions for him, it’s a republic
Types of Government
• Oligarchy: a government in which a small group of citizens has control. This small group of citizens can be military leaders, the wealthy, or another small group
• Example: if a civilization with 100 people is controlled by 5 of those people, it is an oligarchy
Types of Government
• Limited (or constitutional) monarchy: a government in which a king or queen (or emperor) rules a country, but has checks on their power (such as a Parliament)
• When the king dies, his children will take over (hereditary)
• Example: if a civilization has a king but has to follow the law of his own land, it’s a limited monarchy
Characteristics of a Civilization
Characteristics of a Civilization
• Complex Institutions: an organization (like a government)
• Advanced cities: cities with planning
• Advanced technology: technology developed by the society
• Record-keeping system: usually a writing system
• Specialization of labor: when people began to specialize in different types of jobs instead of all being farmers

Collapse of Rome and Han China
• Corrupt governments in both empires
• Infighting among political elites
• Empires too large in area to manage
• Invasions from hostile nomadic tribes
• Social inequality among the classes with tax burdens on lower classes
• Inequitable distribution of lands
• Decline in traditional morals and values at the cultural core of each civilization
• Public health and urban decay
• Unemployment and inflation
Development of Democratic-Republic Government
Ten Commandments
serves as example of using laws to control personal
behavior
City-state of Athens creates democracy
Rome creates a republic
Magna Carta (England) restricts the power of the king, creating a
limited monarchy
Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens
• Greece: • Created ideas about the relationship between citizens and their government
• Required military service
• (Athens) required to participate in political decisions
• Rome:• Citizens were given many legal protections along with political representation
and in return were expected to be loyal to the state, provide military service, and follow the laws of the state
• As Roman citizenship was extended to many conquered peoples, citizenship came to be a unifying concept (meaning people of many different ethnicities would have the same rights and responsibilities)

Judaism Israel (founded by Abraham)
• God and the Jews have a covenant (deal)
God/Yahweh The Torah The Ten Commandments
Hammurabi’s Code, Ten Commandments, Justinian’s Code, Magna Carta• Hammurabi's Code
• Political impact – by deriving a single code of laws from the body of custom of his day, Hammurabi made law something objective, and less personal and, therefore, more stable and predictable
• Legal impact – the notion of a separate judiciary, as part of overall government (this is a hallmark of modern democratic governments, the world over)
• Jewish Ten Commandments• Moses the Lawgiver• High standard of moral conduct• Covenant between God and the Hebrew people – God’s protection in exchange for keeping God’s commandments
• Justinian's Code of Laws• Byzantine Law code (529 AD) that influenced European laws• The eastern Byzantine Empire carries on the Roman law, while the western part of the empire goes through a rather lawless
time.
• Magna Carta• King John of England was forced by his nobles to sign in 1215• Political ideas – limited power of the monarchy by requiring the king to consult nobles when raising taxes• Legal ideas – no one is above the law, representative government, trial by jury
Spread of Christianity, Decline of Rome, Formation of Medieval Europe, Islamic Caliphates
After Rome was invaded by Germanic tribes,
Christianity was the only thing that most people in Europe had in common
(since most Romans were Christians). Christianity
helped to unify Europeans.
Because Rome was invaded (and had lots of other problems, like its
large size and the dependence on a military that wasn’t loyal), it fell. When Rome fell, people found protection with
local warlords.
When local warlords took over, two systems
developed: feudalism and manorialism
Umayyad Caliphate
• Moved capital
• Spent lots of money
• Overthrown by Abbasids
Abbasid Caliphate
• Golden Age: advances in science, math, literature, and art
Crusades, the Black Death, The Hundred Years’ War, the Great Schism Crusades: a holy war between Christians and Muslims
•Failure of the Crusades weakened the power of the pope
•Large number of deaths weakened feudal system
•Trade allowed for cultural diffusion
Black Death: a dangerous plague that killed 1/3rd
of the population of Europe
•Large number of deaths meant that the feudal/manorial system could no longer work
•Church loses power when prayer fails to stop the disease
Hundred Years’ War: war between France and England over the throne
•People begin to give loyalty to the king versus the lord, which damages feudalism
•Knights become obsolete
Great Schism: split in the Catholic Church when two popes both claimed to be the real pope
•Power of the church is broken when people can’t figure out which pope is the real one
Causes of the Decline of Medieval Europe
Tang and Song China Inventions
• Foot-binding
• Compass
• Paper Money
• Block-printing
• Gunpowder
Silk Road and the Gold-Salt Trade
• Silk Road: began in China and ended in Greece. Crossed the GobiDesert. Items traded: spices, silk, porcelain
• Gold-Salt Trade: began in northeast Africa and ended in Western Africa. Crossed the Sahara Desert. Items traded: gold and salt
Trade in the Indian Ocean
• Trade divided into an Arab zone, Indian zone and Chinese zone; thrived for years prior to the arrival of Europeans
• Arab traders spread Islam to East Africa
Changing Roles of Women and Children
WOMEN/CHILDREN
BEFORE the Neolithic Revolution Hunt, gather, survive
AFTER Women became more focused on children
Sparta Women: give birth to strong babiesChildren: get educated (boy went into the military)
Athens Women: educate childrenChildren: Learn stuff
Rome Women could own property
Medieval Europe Daughters of kings and nobles were often used as political pawns to create alliances through marriage. Children of knights were expected to train to become knights.
Medieval Europe (peasants) Women: cleaned, cooked, looked after childrenChildren: worked the farms
