Document Summary
There were important political changes and the hapsburgs in the 17th century were not doing well and by the late. 1600"s they had their last king carlos ii of spain and he was mentally and physically challenged and he had no heirs. There was the question of who would be king and the first bourbon monarch was philip v of spain in 1713 who was a frenchman interested in spain"s colonies (many other countries were interested) The agreement after the wars made philip v the king with the condition the two countries would never join together and a number of concessions to the british (ex: british allowed sending merchandise to spanish ports) Before the 18th century crime and punishment had an unclear sense of why they were punishing a crime in a certain way (ex: in england more than 200 crimes punishable by death) Beccaria was an italian writer who asked for less brutal punishments and more reasonable punishments.
