Abstract
This paper details David's historical success in gaining power and unifying the people of Israel. This paper also discusses David's complex character that learns from each experience and recognizes the value of keeping promises and honoring alliances. The author of this paper examines Deuteronomy's theory that David's rise to power and unifying the Israelites was simply because he was appointed by God to do so. This narrative offers a steady path of intellectual growth and self-awareness that would contradict a strict Deuteronimistic interpretation.
From the Paper
"However, David also takes his men into battle against other tribes, and does not shrink from wiping out entire populations because he does not want survivors to spread the word that he has restricted his attacks to Canaanite peoples. He has also been building his own wealth with booty from his conquests. In addition, he takes two wives, Abibail, the wife of Nabal and Ahinoam of Jezreel."

"Introduction
During the 1980s, much of American business focused on improving its quality process in order to better compete with the Japanese. Great attention was paid to issues such as just in time inventory, total quality management and quality circles, and the American quality expert Deming was both hailed and vilified in the press for having introduced fundamental quality concepts to the Japanese some years before. David Kearns was CEO of Xerox Corporation during the 1982 to 1990 period, a time when the company whose name is synonymous with photocopiers faced intense competition not only from American competitors such as IBM and Kodak, but also from the Japanese. During the 1980s, the company undertook a rigorous quality program designed to transform the way the company did business. At the beginning of the 1990s, the ..."

From the Paper
"Monarchy remains a form of government in a number of other countries throughout the world, though the nature of the monarchy in these nations has changed greatly over the centuries. The monarchy in great Britain is well known throughout the world, once as a powerful head of government but now more as the symbolic head of state. Yet even this role has been brought more and more into question in England and in other monarchies. The recent death of Pricess Diana may be cause for even deeper questioning of monarchy. Likely, the monarchy will survive well into the next century, and it may remain the reality in some countries for a long time. In the long run, though, the trend is clearly toward a more republican form of government, with elected representatives and elected heads of government and with the power emanating form the people and not from an inherited family dynasty.."

"A Monarchy Transformed: Britain 1603-1714", 2007.

Abstract
This paper reviews "A Monarchy Transformed: Britain 1603-1714," written by M. Kishlansky, regarding the Stuart Monarchy in Great Britain. The paper suggests that the book is an interesting and comprehensive work that helps to illustrate the important political notions that influenced Great Britain. It gives examples of Kishlansky's depiction of the events of history through his text, in order to illustrate this point.
From the Paper
"It seems surprising that while the events of the 17th Century can be so clear, they leave much to interpretation. The events depicted in A Monarchy Transformed are exceptionally clear, such as the Great Fire of London or the Gunpowder Plot, and they help to lead into the narrative which is what is really important, because it is necessary to know the political story before history can be told. The work begins with two overview chapters which help to put the social and political context in perspective before jumping into the narrative. It would perhaps be helpful for a more fitting overview, but that does not detract from the effective narrative in bringing the political details of the British monarchy to life. The Stuart dynasty is accurately, informatively, and with great attention to readability, made clear as to their place in British history and the political events in which they partook."

Constitutional Monarchy, 2005.
An explanation of why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government.
839 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»

Abstract
This paper attempts to prove why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government. It shows how it protects the well-being of the population through its written constitution and how it adapts to the ever-changing society through its democratic system of the people having the power. It also demonstrates how it gives the people a reason to follow the government's decisions through the presence of a monarchy that inspires a sense of community and nationalism.
From the Paper
"One of the major causes for the dissolving of governments is an inability to adapt to the changes and advancements in the world around them. For example, with constant advancements in science causing a decline in religious followers, there is no way a Theocracy could survive. Plato proposed a government that was ruled by the intelligent and although this may seem flawless in theory, the reality is with an ever-changing world around them it could never work. Therefore a good government must be able to meet these changes and advancements, and work with them. A constitutional monarchy does this through following the utilitarian 'greatest good for the greatest number' (Kay 1997) ways of its democratic system. "

The Role of Religion in Medieval Monarchy, 2002.
The paper discusses the role religious beliefs played among the European kings during the Middle Ages.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper points out that religion was the only constant in a continually warring Europe. The paper traces the rise of a "Christian" Europe. It also analyzes the way the battles were fought between a pagan infidel and a Pope as well as the resulting supremacy and dominance of the religious leaders over the citizens of a country, even over Kings.
From the Paper
"Religion and the monarchies often sparred, disagreed, even fought wars. But, in the end, while monarchs held power, it was still the religious spirit that gave them the excuse to invade, maim, conquer and kill- all in the name of their ?anointed? rights. Power, in the Middle Ages, was nothing subtle. It seems every monarch was a MacBeth, and every Pope a Boniface VIII. Religion, then, was both crutch and sword for monarchies who continued to exist in the belief they were given that existence by God and his earthly servants."

From the Paper
"Nicholas Henshall, in his book "The Myth of Absolutism, Change and Continuity in Early Modern European Monarchy", argues that the concept of absolutism as generally used by historians to describe kingly rule in early modern Europe is badly misleading and inaccurate. Henshall argues that absolutism is no longer a valid and significant concept, for it is too often equated with outright despotism, instead of being seen as a description of broader and more varied forms of monarchic rule. Therefore, the author examines the misuse of the term and endeavors to redefine the governments it was meant to describe in a way that will be useful to the understanding of the era and the governments in question. Monarchies were not "absolute" in terms of force and despotism and the crushing of liberties. In opposition, to traditional theories, Henshall argues that monarchies were ... "

Abstract
This paper explains the concept of absolutism and gives examples of absolutist monarchs. The paper also provides an explanation of King Louis XIV's impact on absolutism and describes the results of this kind of reign of power.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, political absolutism has been something many countries have faced. According to Wikipedia, a??absolutism is a political theory which argues that one person should have all powera??. Rather than dispersing duties to noble representatives of the country, the ruler had complete control over everything. The control included the power to demand laws, make justice, collect taxes, keep a permanent army, submit employees, judge attempts against public goods, and the authority to determine exceptions to whom and when the laws applied (National States). The monarch could enforce and abolish rules just as a small child would when making up their own game."

Abstract
This paper will argue - through a comparison of these two works of art - that the physical aesthetics of both sculptures can only be understood in terms of the cultural contexts that produced them. Their significance and that of their respective visions of male beauty, thus requires those who approach them to do so with reference to the specific talents and genius of the men who created them.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. Specifically, it traces the development of the character of David from the beginning to the end of the novel. It describes his character through examples of his actions throughout the novel and shows how he developed and matured within the time frame of the story.
From the Paper
"David's change is certainly for the better, and that is what Dickens attempted to convey throughout the novel. All of David's experiences create the adult he becomes, and he would have been a far different character if he had not experienced every bit of every obstacle thrown in his way. He was strong enough to survive cruelty, and wise enough to recognize those who positively influenced him, and those who negatively influenced him. Sometimes he needed help from those who loved him, but he grew into a good man on his own, and the change from young innocent to kind but wise adult was certainly a transformation for the better. As a young man, David did not question the motives of others, he simply naively accepted them, while as an adult, he understands the need to question, but still maintain hope and a positive attitude. He also can accept the love of others, which allows him in turn to fully love Agnes. He could have become a bitter and broken man if he had allowed himself to wallow in despair during his darkest times. He did not, and because of this, he changes, but he changes for the better and for his own good."

Sculptures of David, 2001.
Compares Donatello's bronze "David" & Michelangelo's marble "David." Functions & styles of statues; iconographic choices made by artists.

From the Paper
"Donatello's bronze David (c. 1430) and Michelangelo's marble David (1504) are, nominally, treatments of the same subject. Yet -- considering the fact that both drew on the same iconographic tradition, were made within seventy-five years of each other, were created in Florence and credited with political meanings, and were important landmarks in the influence of classical art on the Renaissance -- it would be difficult to imagine two sculptures that were more different. A comparison of these two works will demonstrate how the sculptors made iconographic choices suited to the functions of their statues and how each man took a different approach to the integration of the antique into his style."
