A) What is ironic is that Jefferson, one of the men who was most apposed of the Alien and Sedition Acts, looked down on immigration. He believed that immigrants will bring in ideas from their previous government, and will cause the United States to slowly become an anarchy or a monarchy. (Doc. B) This leads in to another underlying concern with the Alien and Sedition Acts: the fear that the newly formed United States democracy would cave into a monarchy. The Sedition Act made it illegal to insult the federal government verbally or published in writing.
Bolo believes that being a man entails that he should be strong, brawny, and use brute force to solve his problems. This can be seen in Chapter 3 when he suggests that they kill Prince and also when the police lock up the church and his mother is caught in it. After the Americans come to Bonasse stick fighting was banned and Bolo became gloomy and dull since they took away a big part of his life. Bolo begins to lose it more in Chapter 2 and after Clem leaves Bonasse to sing n Port-of-Spain. Bolo tries to keep his composure and the true meaning of being a
The use of cruelty and deceit to come to power can earn one power. A strong reason for this is because “it cannot be called prowess to kill fellow citizens, to betray friends, to be treacherous, pitiless, and irreligious.” This is most evident in the case of Oliverotto of Fermo. With the help of the Vitelozzo and many citizens who preferred the city to be taken rather than have freedom Oliverotto started to seize Fermo for himself. Oliverotto wrote to his foster father Giovanni Fogliani “that having been many years away from home he wanted to come and see him and his city and to make some investigation into his own estate. “ He asked Faglioni to set up a reception after he came with his own mounted forces of companions and servants.
Another time in the play when we see how Creon is a practical man is when he makes his judgment on Antigone. “I’m not about to prove myself a liar, not to my people, no, I’m going to kill her!” He doesn’t seem to care that Antigone is his niece, or the mother of the heir of Thebes; he still sentences her to death for her actions. He is proving to the chorus and his people that he can be a fair king. I think that this is an important aspect in the novel because this is one of the things Creon does in order to gain the respect and allegiance of the people of Thebes. Despite Creon showing us that he is capable of making fair decisions, he is still rash and unjust.

The long and powerful sentences surround the shortest one, drawing a parallel to the Party's inescapable control over Winston.

He thinks that he is the only one that opposes the corrupt authority, but does not reach out to other people because he is afraid.
A breakdown in parliament then occurred because Charles realized the parliamentary attack on Buckingham was increasing so in 1625 dissolved his first Parliament in order to protect his close companion. The close relationship of Charles and The Duke of Buckingham enabled Buckingham to have security and potential access to more than Charles realised. The Cadiz Expedition is a prime example of Buckingham failures. Both Charles and Buckingham decided to attack one of Spain’s main ports to destroy as many of the Spanish fleet as possible. (Troops were raised but mostly untrained).
This quote sums up the general objective of Big Brother’s regime, ultimate control and unfaltering devotion. If citizens had their own memories, or disagreed with what they were told, they would realize how corrupt a society they were living in was and rebel against it. This is the case in Winston’s situation, he recognizes how corrupt the government is and can no longer stand to live monotonously in his society. The Party frequently changed the past to see who would
