Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

           My definition of Nationalism is one in which love of one's country is the most important thing in a person's life. When i go to a ball game i stand up when they play the national anthem. Nationalism was used to create the nation of Italy by uniting small nations to one big nation that had similar ideas of living. In 1815 to 1848 it showed an increase of the population in Italy. Italy before was broken up in different nation such as Milan, Papal States, and Sicily. But now these nations are united.

John Locke and "The Enlightment"

John Locke was famous for his ideas about the Enlightment. Thomas Jefferson was influence by his ideas, so he wrote the U.S Constitution. John Locke explain about natural rights, which are life, liberty, and the property. Thomas Jefferson also wrote about people have their rights, the life, the liberty. But instead of property, Jefferson wrote about happiness.
Also, John Locke believe that most people are good and that it was the duty of the goverment to protect the rights of the people. This meant that all goverments should get the power from the people. This is the democracy we have today
