You wrote your Current Events Quiz #4 in class today. I started a lecture on the Napoleonic Age in class today. I stopped when I got to the Congress of Vienna. I'll show you an A & E Biography on Napoleon Bonaparte in class tomorrow. Please remember that your French Revolution DBA is due tomorrow. One piece of advice I'd like to offer for the section on the Declaration of the Rights of Man is the following: although this section is out of 16 marks and there are 8 Enlightenment ideas you shouldn't limit yourself to just two ideas/clauses per section. You can use clauses/articles more than once. Some Enlightenment ideas have 3-5 examples in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, include all article that are applicable. You MUST include the article number, and a short quote from that article, that's it.
