Identify and explain the following:

4. reason that philip ii and louis xiv patronized the arts
5. ways cardinal richelieu's consolidate louis xiv's royal power
6. reason for colbert's inability to reign in louis xiv's expenses

Both of them desired to show their great power through the splendor of their royal courts. Phillip II wanted to control the image of his rule, because of this, he commissioned art especially painters that portrayed images of himself and his family.

Louis XIV wanted to show the world how sumptuous his reign was. Because of this, he supported artists that painted himself and compositions. He was so important for the arts that the “royal blue” was introduced in the arts because of him.

Cardinal Richelieu was the king’s, Chief Minister. He helped Louis to consolidate his royal power by centralizing the power of France in opposition to the Habsburg dynasty. With the end of Habsburg dominance of the European continent, France became the dominant European Power.

Jean-Baptiste Colbert was the Minister of Finances under the rule of King Louis XIV. But King Louis XIV assumed absolute control of France and this made the task of controlling France’s finances even more difficult to Colbert. He tried to organize the financial system but the king did not allow him to curb the king’s projects.

the hollywood film industry of 1950 was threatened on several different fronts. television broadcasting was rapidly becoming the dominant entertainment medium in the united states. the paramount anti-trust consent decree requiring separate ownership for production companies and theater chains had gone into effect on 1 january 1950. large numbers of young men and women were marrying, having children, and moving to the suburbs, which affected the viability of downtown first-run movie theaters. foreign revenues were endangered by protectionist tactics including quota systems, high taxes, and blocked funds. finally, the morality and patriotism of hollywood films and filmmakers were under attack from government, religious, and citizens' groups.

explanation:

du boi was considered a radical because he wanted the immediate end for segregation. the biggest different between him and booker t. washington is that, even though washington believed that segregation should be considered illegal, he did not believe at all that a law was needed to keep blacks away from whites and that this would be something natural (to have the races apart) for a long time until society adjusted, while du boi believe that agitation was the only way to end segregation.
