    1. King James I of England can be described as a forceful, independent and corrupt monarch. As a result of dealing with Puritans, who wanted to get rid of the hierarchical episcopal system of Church governance and replace it with a more representative Presbyterian form that is like the one the Calvinists have, James displayed his forcefulness. At the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, James rejected the Puritans and clearly stated that he wanted to reinforce the Anglican episcopacy. Despite the tensions his actions may have caused, James did what he believed to be right, instead of compromising and possibly coming up with an agreement. James was independent because he didn’t want Parliament to help him, so he seldom asked for their assistance.

    Kant’s definition of Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred nonage (immaturity). Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the external guidance. This immaturity is self-incurred by an individual and it is not because of lack of understanding, but rather lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. So the motto of enlightenment is Sapere aude (Latin word which means ‘dare to know’ or ‘dare to be wise’) or in other words it is to have courage to use your own understanding. Reasons for the large proportion of people to be immature are laziness and cowardice. And it is convenient to immature as it is an easier option available. Suppose I have a book which understands me, a spiritual adviser to have a conscience for me, a physician to judge my diet for me and so on then I don’t need to make any efforts at all and I need not think as long as I can pay, others will take up my tiresome job and this is an easier choice than to do all the work by myself.

    Imagine that the only way for an individual to pass high school is to get a 5.0 GPA, and those who do not achieve this standard would be homeless for the rest of their lives. Obviously, this is nearly impossible to do since everyone would have to take all AP courses. However, even if this is the required standard for people, not everyone will succeed, and there will be many homeless people. If there are many people that are homeless, then they will start to rebel so they don’t have to be homeless anymore. It is natural for an individual to rebel since they do not want to live a life that they dislike, and this current situation is similar to the Enlightenment period.
