Different times but equal power

This essay has found during the read and episode of riot of Ciompi in 31th Aguste 1378, for economic motives, but certainly these causes are: the principal creditor of Ciompi were members of Art of wood, to advanced on salary, owner of houses, therefore rent. We must not interpreter this substantive “riot” as we instinctively interpreter today, a sort of revolution, because it isn’t so, because during Middle age a revolution was thought also a simple protest, the corporation, or Art, of wood, the workers that demand the better salary; today these manifestations are normal, but then it were very anomalous. I want stress remark that also the power isn’t of people, it is in his hands, and the power of people is fair; naturally the riots must be true riots, but reaction that the power has had in front of these riots underlines what has been the fair. Today the revolution are disappeared because the police power knows perfectly that a simple protest could become a revolution, it is evident, in historical contest, by the reform of Luther, that apparently has nothing link to policy and revolution, but it has very close rapport with economy; Luther involuntary, because his rules were attached to door of Schlosskirche castle, but he didn’t know it; the German princes took profit of this new context and they took the propriety of Church in Germany; hence for economic motives the reform of Luther has had its presence in history. The catholic Church after the success of reform provided with new council and have to set new order in the Church and fight the reform, considered as heresy, but the catholic power have to modified itself, in intern; evidently it have to be modified but beginning by in. The French revolution, other example, begun with 14 adherent, that were not revolutionaries but simple poor that wanted robber the armies kept in Bastille, and the permission to go in to these poor was the director, that has informed foregoing of this attack; after it, but I am exaggerating to call it “attack”, the riots against the monarchy didn’t occur; the revolution occurred because the middle class wanted the major liberty in economic trade, but the revolution was possible to middle class because, differently from the Church with Luther, the aristocracy, by now poor class, we could call it, because ancient richness was disappeared and they haven’t nothing, the king Louis 16^th didn’t understand the danger that was imminent, because he was stupid? Certainly so, but also because the danger wasn’t, the riot of middle class in General states, meeting of every class of France with their representatives has swore in a room near to room of sitting; after this swear nothing occurred; thereupon didn’t reform itself because the danger wasn’t evident, the chiefs revolutionaries aren’t in Paris, La Fayette confessed that he wasn’t in Paris when the “attack” happened; when the reform of power in French have to begin by now was later. The Ciompi riot has had its effects, because: “The workers were has been to palace of govern foregoing, and they have imposed  to govern to swear to execute  the program of workers…”, and after the enthusiastic riot of people of Ciompi, the fight were feral and some died, after the surrender and delivery of symbols of arts the worker ended the riot and vindications disappeared, and after this delivery much workers gone to home, because evidently the sake has been take, in the Arts was occurred a revolution, because the chiefs of these were ousted, thereby the govern could give the ammunition, how? After the in the Arts occurred how I have explain the same members of Arts attacked the Art of workers of wood, and the govern of Florence has had a reaction very exaggerate, because 50 citizens riots were decapitated, and in 1381 some citizen was decapitated without process; this reaction certainly was pitiless, but the people has took his sake, the expulsion of chiefs of arts, therefore to govern all was leaved; but the govern of arts has had reformed itself in. This easy seems useless, but want attest that the true power is in the people, that today can vote, and chooses his representatives, but the people has always had the power, because the historical examples, above descripted, are clear example that the govern reacts after the riot with feral way because it has had the fair; therefore the people by scary, because has the power.The debts were more huge problem of families, who could not pay the debt bore the distraint, and if  goods were insufficient to extension of debt, the direct way was the jail, but they could not gain the salary and therefore pay the debts. The Florentine jail, called le Stinche was full of debtors, and may major part were Ciompi, since the attack to Stinche was the first act of this riot; further among the important demands of Ciompi was abolition of jail to debts; this request is very much interested because the economic causes and the right personal interest was motives; but in every flight are one against other two interest.
