1) 1) I think that it is weird how King Henry VIII could do all this stuff like divorced and remarried and break the normal church rules whenever he wanted. I understand that he was the one controlling just about every aspect of his church, however I think that there should have been a higher power over him. Like more of a democratic system to prevent this kind of stuff happening. Which I think why allot of monarchy’s faded away, however allot of them still remain in place just with modified systems.
2) 2) I really wonder what the United States even the world would be like today if there were things like this going on. I feel like life as we know it would be different and church would be more of a weird place that one was forced to go to because your king made you go. I like the separation of church and state because it’s a good effort for the government to keep its nose out of church business and keep them from controlling the church.
Anne Boleyn’s speech reminded me of Monty Python and the holy Grail, when the lady was accused of being a witch and the only way to “prove her innocence” was to see if she was made of wood or duck. I thought it was very interesting that Anne did not want to pass the blame on to anyone else, even though it’s not her fault. Also I thought it was interesting that she did not try to prove that she was innocent. I would like to think that she almost wanted to die because then she would be in heaven where she would be safe.
