Changes

5. I think the world took so long to revolt against its monarch oppressors due to the class system which told people that you could not be better than what class you were born into. The belief existed that the monarchs were placed on the thrones by divine right. The notion that all people are created equal would have been considered blasphemous until two events occurred. The first was the Reformation which explained that we are not saved by works but God’s mercy. The second event was  the invention of the Guttenberg press, when common people were be able to read the God’s Word in their native tongue. Prior to this, common people relied on their priests to interpret the Word of God. Unfortunately, this created a religious political structure with no checks and balances,  that could serve its own interest instead of the people that it was responsible for.
