The War of Spanish Succession was an international conflict from 1701 to 1713 caused by the death of the King of Spain without descendants. Initially, Charles III was set to be king, but some European powers disagreed and proposed Philip d'Anjou instead, starting the war which ended in victory for Charles III.
The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu outlines a system of separation of powers and constitutional monarchy as a check against despotism, arguing the executive, legislative, and judicial powers should not be concentrated in the same hands.

This PPS is about French Revolution - How and why did it happen, what were its outcomes and impacts. I have kept in mind the syllabus of Class IX, NCERT while preparing this PPS, but is useful for others also.
Influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment, an intellectual movement that emerged during the eighteenth century in Europe, that advocated the use of reason against the old regime and advocated greater economic and political freedom, the people began to rebel and to fight for the equality of everybody before the law. They fought, among other things, the monarchical absolutism and the privileges of the nobility and clergy. Meanwhile, the French economy experienced an unprecedented crisis. The King Louis XVI tried to react, but the people remained united, taking over the streets. The slogan of the revolutionaries was "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity". On 14 July 1789 the people stormed and took the Bastille (prison) representing the absolute powers of the king, as it was there that were imprisoned political its enemies. This episode became known as "The fall of the Bastille".
The late 18th and the early 19th centuries was a revolutionary age: the American revolution, the French revolution and the liberal and national revolutions. Liberalism was the bourgeoise ideology which defends the Capitalism as an economic system and the parlamentary system.
The Revision notes were prepared to help my son who is in Grade 9 to help him understand about the french revolution. Wherever possible I have tried to provide the reference sources in order to provide credits to the original poster.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The War of Spanish Succession was an international
conflict that lasted from 1701 until the signing of
the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. It was caused by the
death without descendants of which they called

III, but some European powers disagreed and
proposed as his successor Philip d'Anjou. That was
the beginning of the war that ended with the
victory of Charles III.
3. The Spirit of the Laws, is a work of
enlightened philosopher and essayist
Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de
Montesquieu, where he recreates in
the English political model the
system of separation of powers and
constitutional monarchy, which
considered the best of its kind as
collateral against despotism.
According to the French author, the
executive, legislative and judicial
powers should not be concentrated in
the same hands. It is a theory of
counterweights, which counteracts
and balances to each other.
4. French encyclopedia published between 1751

Enlightenment in clear and accessible prose.
It contains seventy-two thousand items over
hundred forty partners, including Voltaire,
Rousseau and Turgot.
It is considered one of the greatest works of
the eighteenth century, not only for being

the time, a considerable editorial effort for
its time.
5. The United States Declaration of Independence, solemnly read in
Philadelphia, is still one of the most innovative and important texts
of contemporary history. In it were two basic principles proclaimed

"freedom and equality".
According to her, the new states formed a republic, governed by a
president and an assembly or congress, both elected by all
inhabitants over age. He had instituted thus a democratic regime,
setting the rights and duties of rulers and ruled in a fundamental law
or constitution.
The fate of the new nation was fought in a war with Britain that was
difficult for the Americans during the first three years. Then, with
the help of French and Spanish the Treaty of Paris by which Britain
recognized the independence of the United States it was formed.
6. The Bastille was a mighty fortress that dominated the eastern
neighborhoods of Paris, a symbol of the arbitrary authority of the
absolute monarchy. Richelieu became a state prison. Among its walls
celebrities spent time as the writer Voltaire, who wrote his tragedy
Oedipus, the Marquis de Sade, Diderot and collaborator of the
encyclopedia. The July 14, 1789 thousands of workers armed Parisians
took the dingy building, which was then only seven prisoners guarded.
It was the first step towards the French Revolution, which no longer
stop to end the monarchy and lead the French king, Louis XVI and his
family to the guillotine.
7. One night Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
decided to escape to avoid conflicts among the
people. When they were at the border a guard
saw a coin with the king's face and seeing that
he wanted to escape, he was imprisoned with his
family and later beheaded, except his son who
died in jail. An anecdote is that before it was
said that all members of the royal family had
blue blood, and when the executioner beheaded
the king he taught and demonstrated otherwise.
8. Hoping to consolidate its position, Fouché suggested
to Bonaparte that the best way to appease
conspiracies would transform the life consulate in a
hereditary empire, which, as would an heir, remove all
hope of changing the regime of murder. Bonaparte
welcomes the suggestion and May 28, 1804
proclaimed himself emperor. It is said that to show
that the church did not have all the power was he who
took the crown and put it to his wife.
9. Like the term "liberal" is a Spanish creation (the
deputies of the Cortes of Cadiz"liberal"
because freedom supporters called themselves), the
term "liberal revolution" applies especially to
the Spanish revolutionary process, which starts in
those cuts and continues in the Liberal Triennium and
the start of the reign of Elizabeth II, coinciding
with the Carlist War.
10. In 1807, it banned the slave trade in British ships
through the Slave Trade Act.
The August 23, 1833 the Slavery Abolition Act
establishing from 1 August 1834 all slaves were
free of the British colonies was approved. During
a transitional period of four years they would
remain in exchange for a salary, still bound to his
master. The Caribbean plantation owners were
compensated with 20 million pounds.
11. On Liberty is a philosophical
work by English philosopher
John Stuart Mill, originally
intended as a short essay. The
work, published in 1859,
applies Mill's ethical system of
utilitarianism to society and
the state. Mill attempts to
establish standards for the
relationship between
authority and liberty. He
emphasizes the importance of
individuality which he
conceived as a prerequisite to
the higher pleasures.
