In this video we are going to begin with the unit 2 so we are going to study liberalism and nationalism
00:00:01
As you are going to see liberalism is going to be divided in two types of liberalism
00:00:07
Political liberalism that is going to be related with the relation
00:00:13
Between the government the person that is ruling the country and the ruled people. It means the citizens
00:00:16
And economic liberalism is related with the economy and finally the idea of nationalism
00:00:24
So let's start with liberalism. First, what is liberalism?
00:00:29
So as you can see we are going to talk about political liberalism and this political liberalism is based on the ideas of
00:00:34
Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire and John Locke. It means all the
00:00:42
Enlightenment ideas
00:00:47
and this political liberalism first of all is going to defend the
00:00:49
the freedom and the individual rights of the population
00:00:55
So this idea of freedom of individual rights means that the population of a country must be free, free to vote, free to elect, and that everyone is going to be equal because all of them are going to have individual rights.
00:00:58
rights so we are going to be we are going to have all right to vote we are
00:01:17
going to have all right to to believe on what we want the right to to a speech
00:01:22
okay to to a speech freely or speak freely about anything we want etc so the
00:01:30
idea of liberalism means everyone is going to be equal we are going to have
00:01:37
all the same rights and second we are going to be free because we are going to
00:01:42
select we are going to elect our our government or our ruler freely second
00:01:47
this liberalism is going to be based on the idea of equality before the law it
00:01:57
means everyone is going to be equal before the law this means that there is
00:02:03
not going to be privileges so everyone is going to be judged in the same way
00:02:09
as I feel they watch it is nobler Clara or serious campesino she commences
00:02:15
el mismo crimen versus who'd gather them and they want that's equality before the
00:02:22
law okay so even if you are a novel if you are part of the clergy or you are
00:02:26
just a peasant if you made the same crime okay you are going to be judged in
00:02:31
the same way okay the law is going to be applied to you in the same way so that's
00:02:37
equality before the law there is not going to be privileges in the society we
00:02:44
are going to have a society based on money so if you are in the top of the
00:02:48
societies because you have more money if you are in the bottom of the societies
00:02:54
because you have less less money but the law is going to be applied equally to
00:02:58
you in spite of the fact that you have a lot of money or you have a few so that's equality before
00:03:04
the law also we are going to talk about national sovereignty the idea of national sovereignty means
00:03:12
everyone everyone um the the i mean the the power is going to reside is going to be laid on people
00:03:18
it means God is not going to elect the monarch is the population why because
00:03:28
the power is not going to be in the monarch is not going to be in God is
00:03:35
going to be in the population in the nation that is why we talk about
00:03:39
national sovereignty okay the nation is going to have the power okay so this the
00:03:44
nation is going to elect the ruler. Why? Because everyone is going to have the
00:03:54
same rights, everyone is going to have freedom, is going to be free to vote and
00:04:01
because everyone is equal before the law. So if we have, if we believe on national
00:04:05
sovereignty is because we believe in inequality before the law, everyone is
00:04:12
going to be equal before the law and because we believe that everyone
00:04:17
must have the same individual rights and the freedom to elect the ruler so that's
00:04:22
the idea of national sovereignty where the liberalism is based also on the idea
00:04:31
of separation of powers it means executive legislative and judiciary so
00:04:37
the king or the ruler is not going to have all the powers and also
00:04:42
liberalism is going to be based on the creation of a basic law called
00:04:48
constitution and this constitution remember is based on the idea of social contract a contract
00:04:52
between the ruler and the rule people so that's the idea this constitution is going to is going
00:04:58
to control or limit the power of the king and is going to embody this national sovereignty is going
00:05:07
to represent this national sovereignty why because this constitution is going to be voted by the
00:05:14
population in this constitution the population is going to set the role of
00:05:21
the king the powers of the key the limit limited powers of the key and this
00:05:27
Constitution is going to establish also the separation of power is the main the
00:05:35
most important a law or the main law in the country so remember the area of
00:05:41
social contract and constitution is a Rousseau idea is an idea of Rousseau Rousseau's idea
00:05:47
separation of powers is the was proposed first by John Locke and after that Montesquieu the
00:05:53
idea of national sovereignty was proposed by Rousseau and the equality before the law of
00:06:01
freedom of individual rights rights was proposed by John Locke in the 18th century so these ideas
00:06:07
of John Locke these ideas of Montesquieu and Rousseau are going to create this
00:06:14
political liberalism this ideology that we call political liberalism the other
00:06:22
the other liberalism is economic liberalism and we have already studied
00:06:32
this economic liberalism so the basis of economic liberalism were set or
00:06:38
proposed by Adam Smith okay here you have Adam Smith he wrote this
00:06:45
this book the wealth of nations in 1776 and he established the three main ideas
00:06:52
of this economic liberalism the first idea is that the state should not
00:06:58
intervene on economy it means the state must not establish extra tax extra taxes
00:07:03
It means no tools, no tolls, sorry, aduanas to eliminate the tolls, to reduce the amount of taxes in order to encourage or promote the freedom of movement of the goods and the traders and the merchants.
00:07:11
So the idea is the state must not set the prices, the quality, the quantity, the state must not create new taxes or new tolls, they prefer the state not to have all these things, no taxes, no tolls, no prices set, etc., in order to encourage the economy to grow, because he believes in the law of the offer and demand, the supply and demand.
00:07:32
Second, he is going to support the idea of freedom of business, it means you can create your own company and you are going to compete with the other companies based on the idea of the law of supply and demand
00:07:58
so no guilds he is going to be against the guilds so what he is going to support is not to set the
00:08:18
prices not to set the quality not to set the quantity okay just to create different companies
00:08:26
that they are going to compete one to the other that one with you and finally the idea of the law
00:08:33
supply and demand we have already studied this and we and we explained in class that if the supply
00:08:40
is high it means we have a lot of products to sell but the demand it means the population the
00:08:47
customers the number of customers that they want to buy this these products is low so the price
00:08:52
is going to decrease okay if the supply is high and the demand is low the price is going to decrease
00:08:59
okay because we have a lot of products to sell but we have a few people to buy them
00:09:06
so that's why this low supply and demand establishes that that the price is going
00:09:10
to be set due to this relation between the supply and demand a high supply and
00:09:19
a low demand means low prices and on the other way if the supplies are a few okay
00:09:24
and the demand is really high it means we have a few products to sell but we
00:09:34
have a lot of people to buy them that they want to buy their products the
00:09:39
price of the products is going to increase okay so that's the law of
00:09:44
supply and demand if the supply is high and the demand is low the price is going
00:09:49
to decrease if the supply is low and the demand is high the price is going to
00:09:55
increase okay this is what is explained here when the supply exceeds the demand
00:10:01
the producers have to reduce the prices to stimulate sales. Similarly, when the
00:10:07
demand is higher than supply, buyers are pushing up the price of goods, okay? So if
00:10:12
you look at this explanation, what you can see is economic liberalism
00:10:22
means no intervention in economy, what they want is freedom of business, they
00:10:26
don't want the state to intervene and just let the relation between the supply
00:10:32
and demand with no loss okay to control this supply and demand okay so let do let do the
00:10:36
economy okay let let the economy to interact and to evolve freely so that's why the motto
00:10:44
a lemma is let do let pass in in french is let se faire let se passer it means let do the economy
00:10:53
let pass not intervene there must not be intervention in the economy in the economy
00:11:00
okay so that's the economic liberalism and it's the basis of our economic system nowadays
00:11:05
as well as the political liberalism is the basis of our political system nowadays
00:11:13
finally we need to talk about nationalism and its consequences okay first of all what we need to do
00:11:20
to describe to define what is a nation a nation is a group of people with the same language
00:11:27
with the same um as i said the same language the same um the same language the same culture
00:11:35
and also they are going to live inside the same frontiers the same boundaries
00:11:44
okay so a nation is a group of people that they share they they share the language
00:11:51
the culture and the frontiers so nationalism is an ideology that is going
00:11:57
to propose or is going to support the idea of a nation that a nation
00:12:05
any nation has the right to create their own state it means if there is a nation
00:12:12
it means a group of people with the same language the same culture and the same
00:12:19
frontiers they are going to have the right el derecho to create their own nation that is why
00:12:23
in spain catalonia that they have the same language that they have the same frontiers
00:12:30
that they have the same um that they have the same culture they want to be independent because they
00:12:35
they are going to propose the independence idea based on nationalism okay so nationalism is this
00:12:43
ideology that is going to establish that a nation has the right to create their own state so what
00:12:52
is going to happen due to nationalism that we have if we have a state with more than one nation
00:13:02
inside these nations are going to are they are going to want to create their own state for
00:13:07
example catalonia the vast country calitria etc but if we have a nation and more than one country
00:13:13
Inside these nations, they are going to be unified. That is what is going to happen in Italy and Germany, we are going to see it now.
00:13:23
So let's see, nationalism means the right or the ideology that defends the right of a nation to create their own state.
00:13:33
Look at this map, you can see in Europe different nations inside the same boundaries.
00:13:41
for example France is most of France is going to have the same ethnic group but
00:13:47
as you can see the Britannia and Alsace and Lorraine they have a different
00:13:51
nation or in Spain Galicia and Portugal form the same nation while Catalonia
00:13:56
Baleares and Valencia they they form the same nation as well as the Basque
00:14:04
country and Navarre they form the same nation Italy most of Italy is going to
00:14:08
have the same ethnic groups ethnic group but for example Germany Germany is going to have the same
00:14:15
ethnic group as most of Switzerland part of a part of France that is Alsace and Lorraine Luxembourg
00:14:20
and Austria and part of Italy so the is you if you see okay the idea of nationalism is
00:14:28
one nation must have or or has the right to create their own country so for example if we follow this
00:14:37
rule Spain must be more than one country, Galicia should be with Portugal, Valencia
00:14:45
and Catalonia along with Baleares should create their own country, the Basque
00:14:54
country and Navarre they should create their own country and the rest of Spain
00:14:58
must be another country. Also France, Bretagne must be independent, these two
00:15:02
territories must be add to Catalonia and Valencia and Baleares as well as
00:15:07
switzerland austria part of italy and part of france and luxembourg must be part of germany
00:15:13
so that's the idea of nationalism we have a nation a group with the same language the same
00:15:19
culture and the same boundaries and they have the right to create their own state
00:15:24
that's why this nationalism that spread across europe in the 19th century have two consequences
00:15:29
if we have a plurinational empire it means an empire with more than one nation inside
00:15:35
they are going to try they are going to go they are going to split up they are going to divide
00:15:40
in different countries for example austria russia or turkey let's see here we have the austrian
00:15:46
empire here we have the russian empire and here we have the ottoman the turkish empire the ottoman
00:15:52
empire you see greece is inside the ottoman empire so greece is going to turn independent
00:15:59
due to nationalism. For example, the Austrian Empire is going to have in present-day Austria,
00:16:05
present-day Hungary, present-day Czech Republic or Slovakia, etc., as well as Russia, Estonia,
00:16:12
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, etc. So what we are going to see is in Europe these empires
00:16:19
are going to be divided into different countries due to nationalism for example these are the
00:16:29
nations the ethnic groups inside the austrian empire so this austrian empire is going to be
00:16:36
divided into different countries for example croatia is this one nowadays present day or
00:16:44
eslovenia this is russia and the different national groups kazakhstan uzbekistan turbanistan
00:16:50
tajikistan ukraine all these territories with different nations are going to create a new
00:17:00
nation so one nation one state that's the idea of nationalism and of course if we have
00:17:08
for example Italy is one nation but we have in Italy more than one country so
00:17:16
what is going to happen due to nationalism all these territories are
00:17:22
going to be unified based on this idea or Germany Germany we have Prussia we
00:17:26
have Hanover Baviera part of Austria so Germany is going to be created it's
00:17:32
going to be unified due to this idea of one nation one country or for example
00:17:37
the El Reino de los Países Bajos okay the Kingdom of the Netherlands is going
00:17:44
to be divided into Belgium and the Netherlands because Belgium and the
00:17:49
Netherlands are two different nations so examples Greece is going to turn
00:17:53
independent because was part of the Ottoman Empire but they they formed the
00:18:00
same the one nation so Greece is going to turn independent in the 19th century
00:18:05
second Italy and Germany is going to create one only one nation based on the
00:18:10
idea of one only one country based on the idea of one country one nation as
00:18:16
well as Italy and the Belgian Revolution is going to divide the kingdom of the
00:18:21
Netherlands that was the Netherlands and Belgium in two countries why this
00:18:30
division between the Netherlands and Belgium because Belgium's they will
00:18:34
speak a different language French and Balloon and the Netherlands are
00:18:39
speaking Dutch. Also in the Netherlands they believe in Calvinism, one of the branches of
00:18:46
Christianism, and in Belgium they are Catholics. So there is a clear division between these two
00:18:54
territories. Here we have one nation, Belgium, based on Catholicism and a different language,
00:19:00
and the Netherlands based on a different language Dutch and a different religion that is going to be
00:19:10
a protestant religion Calvinism so what we are going to see due to this Belgian revolution
00:19:17
that is a national revolution is the division between these two countries so nationalism
00:19:25
is going to or divide plurinational states it means an estate with more than one nation inside
00:19:32
or to unify different countries that form one nation.
00:19:38
And with this we finish with the definition of liberalism and nationalism.
00:19:45
The first Atlantic Revolution is the American Revolution.
00:19:50
We have already studied it with Jenna, so in the next class we will begin with the French Revolution.
