Based on reading Julius Caesar I learned that neither Marc Antony nor Julius Caesar would make a good president of the United States. I believe Brutus will. Although Marc Antony and Julius Caesar had great leadership qualities I believe they did not have good morals or enough strength and courage to handle the power. In Julius Caesar, Brutus was known as being noble and always thinking of the good of Rome. If Brutus became president of the United States he would make sure everyone is treated fairly and with honestly.
It can be argued that Bismarck was a successful statesman given his notable ability to change his affiliations with the political parties so that the most significant force within the Reichstag was supportive of him, ensuring his policies were pushed through; and when the political feeling of the nation changed, Bismarck was able to quickly switch sides, ensuring he remained Chancellor. The first years of Bismarck’s reign as Chancellor can be seen as his ‘Liberal Years’. This is because the National Liberal party were the dominant political party in the Reichstag. And as Bismarck did not have a party of his own, he needed to secure an alliance with them. This was relatively simple as they both shared similar aims; the Liberals, like Bismarck, had a main aim of national unity, and also shared some short term goals with him, such as centralisation of administrative power and the opposition to the Catholics and the Centre Party.
Why this Leader was successful What made President Franklin Roosevelt a successful leader was that he had so many styles that was unique and capable in accomplishing tasks as president of the United States. Roosevelt had gained the attention of the Americans with his democratic leadership style. “A democratic leader is one that is primarily concern with human relations and teamwork, communication that is open and usually two-way, and creates a spirit of collaboration with joint effort that results in a staff satisfaction” (Sullivan, 2009, p. 46). President Roosevelt had these and more to accomplish the goals he set out to do. His charismatic style allowed him to connect with the Americans, especially during the Great Depression.
One also needs to take into account the weaknesses of their democratic government of the Weimar Republic and its failure to deal with the problems of the day. This essay requires an explanation of the phenomenal electoral success of the Nazi Party between 1929 and 1933 with particular reference to the contribution made by their leader, Adolf Hitler. Arguably the most important reason for the Nazis rise to power was the personal qualities and leadership Adolf Hitler himself possessed. Hitler was a great and mesmerising speaker, he was a strong performer and when he spoke he aroused the emotions of his listeners and they were convinced just by his persona instead of what he was saying. This was important for Hitler’s rise to power as he gained huge population and support due to his impressive speeches.
Paine discusses generic topics of an ideal and properly functioning government. One of the most important aspects of Common Sense is the generic plans for starting an independent republic society. One cannot deny the impact these points caused when combined. Paine commences with his pamphlet by describing government as a necessary being that is inherently evil. He describes government in such a way that nearly, but not entirely, advocates anarchy.
Among the 20th century statesmen, Ho Chi Minh was one of the most influential political leaders who pursed his goal of Vietnamese independence. Ho Chi Minh’s remarkable ability in coupling communism with nationalism demonstrated to the world what a successful leader he was. The struggle against the French, the United States and the Saigon government conveyed that he was the architect behind the success. He was described as 'Uncle Ho,' an epithet bestowed upon him. On the other hand, people believed that behind the fatherly smile was a diabolical mind that was deceiving the entire world, leading them to believe that he had the country’s best interest in mind.
Topic I: Aristotle, Plato, and Locke 1. In Aristotle’s work Politics, he praised the idea of a “constitutional government”. Aristotle believed that this form of government occurred when the citizens control and govern the state for the common interest.1 Aristotle believed that as the number of involved parties increased it would become more difficult to attain perfection, and that in a constitutional government the fighting men would have supreme power and the men who possessed arms would be the citizens.2 Aristotle concluded that mixing two extreme "wrong" constitutions, oligarchy and democracy, would result in a moderate "right" one. In this case, two "wrongs" would make a "right. "3 Aristotle called this moderate mixed constitution a polity and believed that it would best serve the common interest of all citizens in most states.
This made his position a weak one, forcing Edward to bind himself to Godwin, as the Earl of Wessex and most powerful man in England at this time. Earl Godwin was the only member of the witan offering to support Edward. The reasons for this are unclear though it is likely Godwin felt that he could exert influence over the inexperienced King and therefore gain yet more power over England. Despite the odds being stacked against him, Edward took the English throne from the Danish royal family and established himself as a strong and wise King. Clearly his success had to be dependant on a number of weighty advantages, his growing up in Exile for example.
This essay Focuses on Franklin Roosevelt an how both his character and place in political time affected his success. Character; James Barber explains the potential successful president as someone with an “active positive” president. He defined being active positive in his book, The Presidential Character as, “those who appear to have fun in the vigorous exercise of presidential power… take action rather than waiting for action to come to them…self need, not sacrifice gratification for achievement… when seen outward, share a sense of self developing…”. The active positive president genuinely enjoys what he does. He further breaks the active positive personality down into four qualities; A conviction of capability- a belief in self ability for the job; A sense of the future as possible- an optimist outlook on things and a sense of the future as possible, regardless of the past and the openness to experiment to change things; A Repertoire of Habits – The ability to adapt to situations, a malleable personality to fit each situation that presents itself.
