He is able to instill fear in those who are beneath him as he uses corrupt government ideals and abuses his power. When Antigone quarrels with Creon in regards to burying her brother properly, Creon refuses to listen, as he says, “no woman shall be the master while [he lives]” (Sophecles I, ii). By refusing to listen to anyone and making his own decisions, Creon asserts his hierarchy and marks his place as the dictator; he will not allow anyone else to make their own decisions. Having power Creon does instills fear in others and causes them to treat him with the upmost respect. Because Creon is the only leader with total power, he refuses to “take [his] orders from the people of Thebes” (I, iii).
In the book ‘Anthem’ ,Prometheus, also known as ‘Equality 7-2521’, learns that his whole life and raising was a lie, and that there was a time before him where there was not a dictatorial government. Ayn Rand uses plurality in Anthem to convey conformity. Obedience, by definition, is an action of complying with current customs, rules, or styles. Since being an individual is basically eliminated in the city portrayed in Anthem, it’s government can easily force it’s collectivist ideals on all its citizens, who now comply to it. Singular and possessive pronoun use is avoided in this society to help hold the idea of self-uselessness.
Anarcho-communists envisage wholesale collective ownership and fully communal social organisation. They propose to dissolve the state – either by violent or peaceful means – and replacing it with either small-scale communes as favoured by Kropotkin and Malatesta or federations of workers (Bakunin's view). Despite these differences the various anarcho-communist groups agree that these communities would be voluntary. Communities might vary in their organisation and their values, but individuals would not be forced to conform as their decision to join would be entirely voluntary. In order to allow humans to fully develop themselves
Meanwhile, Anti-Federalist believed power should remain with the states. As you can see the Anti-Federalist was against the constitution. “New Constitution Creates a National Government, Will not Abate Foreign Influence, Dangers of Civil War and Despotism“. The main reason they revoked the constitution is bad is because it divided the powers amount the government in 3 branches (Judicial, Legislation, Executive), so NO ONE had supreme power over. Anti-Federalist didn’t approved they wanted a bill of right instead.
* Define and give an example of separation of powers and checks and balances * Separation of powers- An aspect of the Madisonian Model of government that requires each of the three branched of government to be independent of and to share power with each other so that one cannot control the others. Ex. Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of govn’t all separate * Checks and balances- balances power- Important feature of the Constitution which enables each branch of government to constrain the other branched activities in order to prevent any one branch from gaining too much power. * After the American Revolution and under the Articles of Confederation, who started to gain/lose political power? * the wealthy lost power and the low income/farmers
Right to Revolution What follows is an excerpt from John Locke's Second Treatise (1694). §222. The Reason why Men enter into Society, is the preservation of their Property; and the end why they chuse and authorize a Legislative, is, that there may be Laws made, and Rules set as Guards and Fences to the Properties of all the Members of the Society, to limit the Power, and moderate the Dominion of every Part and Member of the Society. For since it can never be supposed to be the Will of the Society, that the Legislative should have a Power to destroy that which every one designs to secure, by entering into Society, and for which the People submitted t hemselves to Legislators of their own making; whenever the Legislators endeavour to
When he refers to the Constituition and Declaration of Independence and says "This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ", his crediablty shows. This is when King's arguement of equality is evident.(King). He goes on to defend his arguement when he states "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. ", claiming that equality is not being met.
He discredits the argument that, ”marriage is fundamentally a procreative unit” (Stoddard 738). The government tries to rectify not allowing same sex marriage to be legal because marriage is supposed to be a procreative unit. People should be entitled to love and marry whomever it is that they choose. The government tries to justify their standing on gay marriage by acknowledging the fact that same sex couples would not be able to birth a child together. If this is in fact a valuable reason to prevent someone from marrying, then why doesn’t the government create a law banning all women and men who cannot or will not have children from being able to legally marry.
The Sociology of Leopard Man Society try's to keep people from expressing their own ideas and/or interests. Since society thinks this way, many people feel as if that is the only way to think. In the short story, The sociology of leopard man the author Logan Feys states," society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers". In my opinion there's definitely a time to act serious but there is also a time to let loose and get away from society and just be yourself. The author makes a valid point when he said we should all get away from society every once in a while.
I for one shall never accept that premise. As the french political economist , Frederick Bastiate, phrased it so succesfully, “Life,liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary it was the fact that life,liberty and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”{ The Law page 6}.He also explained “ Each of us have a natural right- from God – to defend his person , his liberty and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our faculties but the extension of our individuality?And what is prop and what property but extensions of our faculties?
