Discontinuity: this means that something ends and is replaced by something different (it does NOT continue)
For example: When the Roman monarchy ended and Rome became a Republic.
A system of government was replaced by a very different system. So this is "discontinuity".

What is?
centralisation and decentralisation ?



Centralisation: this means that a country / empire is ruled from 1 place (the centre) and by one ruler (king / emperor)
For example: The whole Roman empire was ruled from 1 place (Rome). Everywhere within the empire there were the same laws, rules, money, taxes. Everything was decided from Rome (the centre)

Decentralisation: this means that a country does not have one central point from where all the laws are made, but the country is divided into many different regions, each with its own ruler, laws, money, taxes, etc.
For example: Ancient Greece was a decentralised country because every city state had its own laws, rulers, money etc.

First make a note in your notebook.
Lesson 3.1
  • The monarch (king or emperor) = HOLY

  • In 800 AD Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the pope.
  • Pope and monarch  made each other more powerful:
  •           King:      he became "holy", chosen by God.
  •           Pope:     he got to decide who becomes king / emperor.
  • It meant that a monarch was given the right to rule by God alone. His authority could not be questioned because he ruled in God's name.
  • We call this: the divine right of kings. It lasted until the French Revolution (1789)
