  3. The old idea was the state and its citizens exist to serve the monarch. The new idea was when the monarchs exists to serve. They both are to serve each other.

    They must balance their goal with concerns about support so that their goals meet the peoples thoughts and they want to make sure that the people like the ideas so that they are one their side.

  4. OLD IDEA NEW IDEA
    The state and its The monarchs
    citizens exist to exists to serve
    serve the monarch. the state and
    as Louis XIV support citizens
    reportedly said, welfare. As
    "I am the state." Fredrick the
    the Great said,
    a ruler is only
    "the first
    servant of the
    state."



    They need to balance it out with the people. It needs to meet the peoples needs and wants. Not just the rulers ideas and what they want because the people are the ones that got them to where they are today.

  7. 1) The old idea states that the citizens are just here to serve the king, the new idea is that the king is here to serve the people.
    2)they must balance their goals because if they hold their goals over their people then they will most likely be in disagreement and there would be more chance of the people going against the king because no one person has the same goals and if the king was to choose the peoples opinions over his own goals then there is a chance that the country would go to ruins and the king would never have a chance to posibly make the country better.That is why they have to balance their goals and the people of the state.

  8. The old idea is saying that you should have to only serve the state and the new idea is saying that you are to serve the state and the citizens' welfare.


    They have to meet what the state once at the same time of trying to make there goals, but the state comes first before what they want.

  9. 1.) The old idea of the relationship between ruler and state are "The state and its citizens exist to serve the monarch."
    The new idea of the relationship between ruler and state are "The monarch exists to serve the stat and support citizen's welfare."
    So, the difference is that in the old idea, the people served the ruler. In the new idea, the ruler serves the people.

    2.) All rulers must balance their philosophical goals with practical concerns about support from the poeple of their state because, it's like the ruler needs to make sure the people are happy. But, at the same time, it must rule with the way they intended to.

  10. 1) The old idea was the state and its citizens exist to serve the monarch. As Louis XIV reportedly said, "I am the state." The new idea is the monarch exists to serve the state and support citizens' welfare. As Fredrick the Great said, a ruler is only "the first servant of the state." The new idea mainly saying the ruler needs to serve their people before themselves.
    2)If the rulers don't balance their philosophical goals with practical goals with practical concerns they would go back to the old idea and would slowly destroy their country.
