Not all heroes wear capes, this one wears a suit and tea and sips tea. Thank you so much Tom for all that you do!

TOM RICHEY YOU SAVAGE SAVING MY GRADE ONCE AGAIN YOUR A LEGEND BRO

You're the reason I am passing AP Euro....no lie

As a history teacher of absolutely brilliant kids, we love your videos. My seventh graders are studying Hobbes, Locke, and their influence on Revolutionary thought, giving us a philosophical background to the primary movers and shakers of the French and American Revolutions. Your videos have been great supplements, but we had to mention, Judy is George's daughter. Jane's the wife! :) "Meet George Jetson. His boy Elroy. Daughter Judy. Jane, his wife." (The song is horribly full of sentence fragments, I know.) Anyway, love your work, keep it up!

I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT TAKING NUMEROUS HISTORY COURSES AND I AM INSPIRED BY YOU!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU DETAILED AND YET ENTERTAINING INFORMATION.

Magna carta? More like magna farta... - Oliver Cromwell.

Could you please make one on the english civil war?

I have the absolutism test tomorrow, and I may or may not be cramming... I'm not a fan of the textbook in general, so I'm always trying to find good youtube videos that'll help. And this one *definitely* did!

YOU ARE WONDERFUL. Thank you so so much for spending time to make this.

At 8:33, thanks for not going political or taking sides. It makes me happy there are people that can talk about things and see all sides, not just the side they were raised on.

Fellow history teacher from up North. You have done a fantastic job!

Thanks, Livi! And thanks for subscribing to my channel! It looks like your teacher is ahead of me (I'm currently finishing up the Wars of Religion), but I'll be posting a lot more videos this year that will be helpful as you start reviewing for the exam.

I'm a history teacher, and I want to tell you that you have a great series of videos. However, please note that the Jetsons were originally broadcast, and had their greatest impact, in the 1960's. know because I watched them as a child.This is vital information, should a Jetsons-related question appear on a future AP exam.

This is incredibly helpful in my preparation for a debate on absolutism vs constitutional monarchies. Great video! Thank you :)

I wish I would of found your videos and watched them at the beginning of the year! I wish my teacher taught like you do, you make it easier to understand.

I used this to listen over for my Midterm for AP Euro class. This really helped me out getting a better understanding of the material. Thank you for the help.

This really helped me separate absolutism and constitutionalism. Helped me to be able to remember points for each side so I could remember which one is which. -Bland

Thank you very much for explaining the 2 different government... Your videos are excellent with the humor!!! Thank you again Tom.

I'll add it to my list! I'm currently working on a new video on the Counter-Reformation and the Council of Trent. I may be able to put together one on the Thirty Years' War before it's all said and done. When's your test?

In my AP class we are learning exactly this for Unit III. I decided to get a head start and this is VERY helpful! Thank you !!

I've watched all of your videos at least 4 times, thanks for helping me pass AP Euro!

I'll see if I can't get another segment posted tomorrow evening. I'd like to get through the English Civil War, at least, but my slides need some work before I can record.

Loved the comparison between Absolutism and Absolut Vodka, super helpful memory device!

Thought about you today when my trip meter in the car read 666.6 miles. They don't call me "El Diablo" for nothing! Haha

Mr. Richey, Love your channel! Was hoping you could clarify something for me... I was researching absolutism recently and several times I came across reference to the key attributes of an absolute monarch: political sovereignty, divine right, and absence of checks and balances. I need clarification on the difference between sovereignty and absence of checks and balances. By my thinking, if one has ultimate control, it would follow that there are no checks on your powers, at least none that you actually have to listen to. So my question is: what differentiates these two attributes? Would you use a different sent of attributes? I studied your chart in the video... and it seems to fit with those attributes but is broken down a bit more.

YES! Definitely watch many times all the way through, like, and share!

i'm not sure if someone already made this comment but that screenshot of Jetsons isn't really from the intro of the Jetsons, just the 'Family Guy' spoofed version of the Jetsons intro. :)

The Jetsons is from the late 1960s. By the 80s, it was already woefully dated.

Thanks for posting! Refreshed my memory for the test.

Thanks a lot Tom!!! :)

thank you so much!!! your videos help me so much for my AP Euro class!!!

This was very helpful, thank you for posting it!

Hello tom richey, my ap euro tacher loves your powerpoints (you may know him, his name is mr. towmey ) and videos, but what we've noticed is that there isnt a video for the english restoration, but you do have a powerpoint for it. are you ever going to do a video on it or not? i would love to see a video on it because me and a friend are going to present the english resoration to the class, and im sure mr. towmey and other teachers would would appreciate another "richey review" to end class. awesome videos, by the way, i learn a lot from your videos and powerpoints!

It's a wonderful video. Thank you. Can u make one more video on the process by which the landed gentry and nobles were elected in the parliament? If u make, it would help me in my topic of English revolution. Thank you

These videos definitely help! Thanks!

Can you please explain the concept of these philosophes 1. DeMontesquioue 2.voltaire 3.Rousseau I have a big exam coming

With any luck, you'll take the class next year!

yeah... if you wanna post 10 more videos on ap euro that'd be swell.... my final is in 4 days. haha. This helped a lotttttt so please keep posting more!!! (: Thank you! Wish my teacher teaches the way you do.

Nice to meet you! If you are, indeed, a reprobate, perhaps you should take a look at my e-lecture on the Second Great Awakening! Just search for Second Great Awakening and I'm coming up third or so in the search when I do it. It's got a thumbnail with a fire burning.

Could you do an episode on Sweden as a great power?

Can you explain the relationship between Charles I and Oliver Cromwell

Where did the Stuart powerpoint go? Does it exist somewhere?

Can you do alternate history

can you do something on the english civil war??

Tom where is the Stuart and english civil wars video???

Where is your video on Stuart absolutism. Is it still up?

where's the stuart video?

Can you do a video on the Thirty Years War?

My exam prep paper states: Why did absolutism triumph in France but not in England? My question is: Is this because England had protections for the people enforced by parliament and France did not?

Could you make some videos on Asian history please?

This video helped me so much. Thank you :)

Can you please do one on the English Civil War? :)

one dislike. WHO DONE IT.

YOU SAVE LIVES!! THANKS SO MUCH!

I love your tie Richey!!!! What is your favorite tea? I love Vanilla Chai.

I'll never curse Hip for sending me someone who watches my videos and engages with them by commenting. Trolls do a KZfaq channel good! For the record, that is verveine tea that I'm drinking. It keeps me from being compelled by vampires.

9:12 "the people (theoretically) have a voice through their representatives".

Its crazy how nothing has changed from then to now and how money is what everyone is crazy about.

very helpful for my class debate thanks

Can you do a history of Consumerism?

Absolutism was a thing to curve the old high aristocracy in favor of the low aristocracy and the bourgaise.

Thank you!

So helpful for ap EuroThanks a lot!!!!!!

can you do the England civil war?

Thanks for the info! Is part 2 up yet?

Are you doing "modern" history too? whats your specialty?

Nice thanks a lot

In-between absolute monarchy and constitutional monarchy is traditional monarchy. While there is no constitution, the monarch is limited in the sense that traditional institutions like the Church, guilds, municipalities, etc prevent them from being an absolute ruler. It's rather decentralized and weaker than any constitutional system which only ends up giving excessive power to the state.

One video on B.R. Ambedkar

Love it and I don't even take this class! Haha "Holy Grail"!

Even though the government is very limited by the Constitution it does seem like they find many loop holes to flex their power.

Correction, it makes me want to watch it again

don't drink during the class professor . hhhh

didn't know Matt Damon was such a good law teacher...

Privlige mean privat law.

Spousal abuse is WRONG, Josh! Just so we're clear.

You dont have to swear to uphold the constitution if there isnt any.

I like how the thumbnail is a bottle of absolut vodka

This video makes me want to watch "The Jetsons"

love the vids.. in Jay-Z style lol

Good video though man keep it up #rawrxD

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

So you not drinking that drank in your hand ?

COVID is a reset / think of 1776/1789/ now imagine you are back to 1774/ however with Modern tools & technology / inquire how society functioned in the 1700 & that is the reset you are mentally in 1700 with 2020 tools & technology 🧐😇👽

An absolute government of competent, Christian, right wingers sounds ideal.

Who’s here from mr Cruz’s class 🤭

Alright Alton Brown, control your ums .-.

wat r u drinking?

who else is here or is that just me..

*puts More Charter on exam* get beaned lol (jk im not doing that)

6:44 So now a man trying to keep his wife from taking his money is now sexist ? That sounds like BS !

What are you drinking?

I wish I would of found your videos and watched them at the beginning of the year! I wish my teacher taught like you do, you make it easier to understand.
