How Historians
Study the Past
Build on What You Know You may know where your parents or ancestors came from and some of the stories about them. Relatives and their stories help people understand their family history. Now learn what historians use to help them understand the past.
Understanding the Past
ESSENTIAL QUESTION What questions do historians ask to help them understand the past?
People investigate their family history to find out about their ancestors. In the process, however, they also find out about themselves. We study world history for the same reasons.
Why Study History? What has already happened to a person, a family, or a
society affects what will occur today and in the future. But history is much more than simply recounting and studying past events. Examining a historical event also involves studying a society’s culture, religion, politics, and economics.
When historians examine past events, they try to find patterns. They look for causes and effects that explain how and why events happened. They also try to understand why some ideas and traditions last and why others die out. Just as important, historians attempt to see the past through the eyes of the people who lived it. By doing so, historians gain greater insight into human nature and answer important historical questions.

Asking Historical Questions As historians study the past, they ask themselves questions like those below. These questions help historians compare different societies and draw conclusions about the past.
• How have groups or societies interacted, and what have been the results?
• How have leaders governed societies?
• How have belief systems developed and changed?
• How have societies dealt with differences among their people?
• How have societies tried to protect people’s security?
• How are societies similar and different?

Why do we study history?
The Historian’s Tools
ESSENTIAL QUESTION What methods do historians use to help them answer questions about what happened in the past? When you hang up a picture, you use a hammer to pound in the nail. Historians also use tools to do their job. These tools include primary sources, secondary sources, and oral history.

Primary Sources A primary source is something written or created by a person who witnessed a historical event. You will learn about an ancient primary source on the next page. Primary sources include letters, diaries, eyewitness articles, videotapes, speeches, and photographs. Artifacts, such as the human-made tools, are also primary sources.

How Knowledge of the Past Changes
ESSENTIAL QUESTION What steps do historians take as they answer historical questions?
Detectives use fingerprints and other evidence to solve crimes. Historians act as detectives too. They use evidence from primary, secondary, and oral sources.
Fact or Fiction? Historical evidence isn’t always as simple as a bloodstain at a crime
scene. Historians sometimes have more information than they can use when they try to answer a question. They must sort through all of the information and choose what’s most important and most trustworthy as evidence. In addition, sometimes what historians thought was true turns out to be false. For instance, one historian proved that the so-called mummy’s
curse was false. According to legend, the curse would kill anyone who entered the tomb of an ancient Egyptian ruler. Many people believed the curse had caused the death of English archaeologist Lord Carnarvon. He died suddenly in 1923, shortly after entering the tomb
of ancient Egyptian ruler “King Tut.” People believe that the other archaeologists who had entered the tomb between 1923 and 1926 would also die as a result of the curse. However, a historian later examined the archaeologists’ death records. Their average age at death was
70 years. The evidence did not support the existence of the mummy’s curse.

Drawing Conclusions The mummy’s curse was easy to disprove. But not all historical questions are so easily answered. Sometimes different historians arrive at different conclusions based on the same facts.

Answer:

Explanation:

The French Constitution began with a Declaration of the Rights of Man

and Citizen. Rights such as the right to life, freedom of speech,

freedom of opinion, equality before law, were established as ‘natural

and inalienable’ rights, that is, they belonged to each human being

by birth and could not be taken away. It was the duty of the state to

protect each citizen’s natural rights.

If u want to know some of the laws of declaration of rights of man and citizen

look below:

1. Men are born and remain free and equal

in rights.

2. The aim of every political association is

the preservation of the natural and

inalienable rights of man; these are liberty,

property, security and resistance to

oppression.

3. The source of all sovereignty resides in

the nation; no group or individual may

exercise authority that does not come

from the people.

4. Liberty consists of the power to do

whatever is not injurious to others.

5. The law has the right to forbid only

actions that are injurious to society.

6. Law is the expression of the general

will. All citizens have the right to participate

in its formation, personally or through their

representatives. All citizens are equal

before it.

7. No man may be accused, arrested or

detained, except in cases determined by

the law.

11. Every citizen may speak, write and print

freely; he must take responsibility for the

abuse of such liberty in cases determined

by the law.

12. For the maintenance of the public

force and for the expenses of

administration a common tax is

indispensable; it must be assessed equally

on all citizens in proportion to their means.

17. Since property is a sacred and inviolable

right, no one may be deprived of it, unless

a legally established public necessity

requires it. In that case a just

compensation must be given in advance.

Numerous Crusades were fought after the First Crusade, which led to the recapture of Jerusalem in 1099, and served as a focal point of European history for decades.

Well democracy in America is very common in fact, it is the what makes our government so experienced with this format. It shapes the American experience by the original idea of democracy it it's what make America so special.

Explanation:

I don't even know what I am talking about.

Democracy has played a central role in shaping the American experience in various ways. It has been a foundational principle that influences the country's governance, culture, and society.

Here are some key ways democracy has shaped the American experience:

1. Government Structure: The United States is a democratic republic, where power is derived from the people through free and fair elections. The principles of democracy are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, which establishes a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial). This structure ensures that no single branch can dominate, protecting individual rights and promoting the rule of law.

2. Political Participation: Democracy encourages active civic engagement and political participation. Americans have the right to vote and be involved in the decision-making process, which fosters a sense of empowerment and responsibility among citizens.

3. Individual Rights and Freedoms: Democracy prioritizes individual rights and freedoms. The Bill of Rights guarantees fundamental liberties such as freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly, ensuring that citizens can express their opinions and beliefs without fear of persecution.

4. Diversity and Inclusion: Democracy embraces diversity and pluralism. As a nation of immigrants, the American experience is characterized by a rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and backgrounds. The democratic system aims to include and represent diverse voices in governance and policymaking.

5. Social Progress and Reforms: Democracy has been a driving force behind social progress and reforms throughout American history. Grassroots movements and advocacy have led to significant changes, such as civil rights advancements, labor rights, women's suffrage, and LGBTQ+ rights.

6. Peaceful Transfer of Power: One of the defining features of American democracy is the peaceful transfer of power through elections. Regardless of political differences, Americans respect the electoral process, allowing for a smooth transition of leadership.

7. Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Democracy fosters an environment that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship. The freedom to express ideas, invest in businesses, and compete in the marketplace has contributed to America's economic dynamism and growth.

8. International Influence: The American experience has had a profound impact globally. As a leading democracy, the United States has influenced the spread of democratic principles, human rights, and the promotion of democratic governance worldwide.

However, it is essential to recognize that democracy is an ongoing process, and the American experience also includes challenges, such as addressing systemic inequalities, voter participation disparities, and the need to ensure that democratic institutions remain strong and resilient in the face of evolving societal and global changes.

Answer:

The two pieces of evidence which shows that Judaism unified the Jewish people include:

1. The period of time from 597 to 539 BC which ended when the Persian king Cyrus the Great took over Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to Judah is known as the Babylonian Exile or Captivity.

2. As a result, some of the Jewish people in Babylon became more religions. They commemorated the fall of Jerusalem with days of prayer and celebrated the Sabbath (day of rest set aside for religious reasons). The profession of the scribes, people who copied religious documents, grew in importance. Historical writings and religious teachers were compiled and revised by the scribes to create the Torah. The writers viewed the recent events as punishment for their sins, especially the sin of worshipping gods other than Yahweh. At the same time, the scribes and others in exile hoped that the Jewish faith would bring the Israelites together and that they would be able to rebuild the Temple once the exile was over.
