Absolute Monarchy vs. Parliament: A Comparison Between France and Britain
by Those who are not rich and powerful shall always seek to become rich and powerful, but if that is not possible then they will always be in envy of those more wealthy and powerful than themselves.
When looking at the political power, culture, and economy of France and England, France was stronger in all three categories, thus historians would find that France had the government of the future. Though there are concrete facts that would make historians believe that France had the stronger government, Versailles is probably the main reason historians thought that France had a better government than England. After all, money and riches are the most attractive things a man can find.

Although I liked this essay, throughout it, I was very confused on which country you were supporting. The reasons behind your opinion were also very thin. For example, “Louis called himself the Sun King. This would cause historians to believe that they had no right to say anything bad about King Louis.” The second sentence is hardly related to the first, yet, there is somehow a cause and effect situation. But overall, I like the numerous details in this essay.
