OLE W

LOTTUCI answer
A historian is writing a paper on the idea of the divine right of kings in Europe during the Middle Ages. She reads a speech by a bishop in the
Ages claiming that kings were appointed by God to rule over people. She then explains why the bishop would have believed this idea, even if it
one that most people believe today. What is she doing in this paper?

Answer 1

She is explaining the historical context of her argument because she is basing her argument on religious conditions from the past.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: The historian is explaining the historical context of her argument.

Arguments with historical context contain certain historical events based on the social, political, religious, and economic conditions that existed during the event. In the example above, the historian choose to base her argument on religious conditions in the past.
