It's more useful to know the underlying philosophies of modern civilization than if "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people" came from the Gettysburg Address or something else. The latter is trivia."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi

'I'm fairly certain that a ban on me punching you in the face is not a "right" worth respecting." - loinburger

A de-emphasis on agriculture, the growing urban bourgeoisie, the depopulation effects of the Black Plague which raised wages, the 'commonalization' of the means to fight wars with gunpowder which weakened the military power of knights, etc. etc.
The common undercurrent in all of that is the ECONOMY. Learn some historical processes. Learn about the economic origins of political systems, ****head
