Introduction
Welcome to the Unit
A Week on Power, Reason, and Revolution
This week you’ll explore one of history’s great turning points: the shift from kings who claimed total power to the radical idea that governments should answer to the people. Along the way you’ll meet thinkers, monarchs, and revolutionaries whose ideas still shape our world.
Big question for the week
