LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL The old Neo-Gothic capitol built by the architect James H. Dakin on the banks of the Mississippi in 1847, is one of the most distinguished examples of Gothic Revival, its floor plans, towers, exterior stained glass windows and gables give it appearance of a 15th century Gothic Cathedral.

He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.

Considering their lasting influence and pertinence to contemporary society, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx have both immensely contributed to the study of social and political theory. This paper aims to provide core analyses of two of their notable, corresponding works: Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and Marx’s The Communist Manifesto. Notwithstanding. Having been written nearly a century apart, an interwoven study of the two works reveals a deeper insight into and comparison of the ideas set forth by both. Fundamentally, Rousseau and Marx refuted the theories of their predecessors; namely Hobbe’s insistence that man’s original state of nature was terrifying and disadvantageous to individuals and Locke’s championing of the protection of an individual’s right to private property.
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences accepted him as a member in 1896. Saint-Gaudens lost a lot of his sketches and other works when there was a fire in the barn-studio.
