6.1). It is believed that there are two separate sections of the Great Rhetra, with the second being added at a later date (Koiv, 2000, p.233 ). This second section is known as the ‘Rider’. The Rider is believed to have been added by the Spartan Kings Theopompus and Polydorus so as to give greater power to the elders and the Kings of Sparta. It states that the elders or Kings have the power to dismiss the assembly if “the people speak (or choose) crookedly” (Koiv, 2000, p.233).

The balance between the two began to shake after Rome’s success over Tarentum as well as Carthage’s attempts to extend its influence over Sicily. The clash between Carthage and Rome began after a series of events at Messana, a Sicilian city that controlled the strait between Sicily and the mainland. At the time, Messana had been controlled by a group called mammetines, and had been in conflict with Syracuse, a city further south, led by the tyrant Hiero II. The mammetines asked Carthage for help, and when this was given, Hiero ended his attack. One group in Messana decided to rid the city of the Carthaginians, as they now saw Carthage as a greater threat than Syracuse.
Studying the works of many noteworthy historians is shown to expose a story about the tendencies of their thought. It is a work of historiography tracing the development of the American historical profession, identifying the professional norms of their practice, and presenting a series of arguments about the profession's objectives and concerns over the "Objectivity Question". Novick asserts his work has no unifying thesis (17). While this and other efforts at full disclosure are considerable, his stated purpose divulges his goal to do more than merely enlighten the reader. "The book's aim is to provoke my fellow historians to greater self-consciousness about the nature of our work," Novick wrote of his motivation (17).
The secrets that are found that occurred somewhere in history are because someone was searching or exploring their curiosity and intellectuality in order to find them. When Prometheus writes: “The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them.” (Rand, 52), he is referring to how people are
Human beings write history and no matter who they are they cannot be fully objective. Trained historians try and bring as much objectivity as they can into their work but nobody can remove all amounts of bias from his or her work. (270) - How does Henry Kissinger define history? What is Howard Zinn’s approach to history, and how does his differ from the description of Kissinger’s type? Be Specific!
Firstly I would like to point out that I am not certain that Dean is in fact the Messiah, these are merely theories and hypothesis. Here are my arguments for Dean being the Messiah not in detail. Each individual argument will be further explained later depending on the general response of this blog. I do not appreciate haters. These are some of my main arguments:
Twice at the end of the 5th century in Athens the demos voted their democracy out of existence and replaced it with an oligarchy. This happened in 411 BC and 404/3 BC near and at the end of the Peloponnesian war. There are some similarities in both of these events but also some major differences we will see. The reasons of why these events took place, who the organisers were and how they were orchestrated need to be looked at if we are going to be able to answer the overall question of why the Athenians took these actions to replace democracy. For the two coups there were distinctively different backgrounds involved.
HOW DID LAW & PUNISHMENT IMPACT ON ROMAN SOCIETY? The Ancient Romans were one of the earliest civilisations to have a well functional legal system. During the earliest years of Ancient Rome, kings and priests made judgements, and punishments were made by the ruler. In 450, land owning citizens called plebs, felt they were entitled to know and be able to interpret the code of the laws so the Twelve Tables were established. The law of the Twelve Tables was the ancient legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law.
The Rhetra: The Great Rhetra refers to the laws that were given to the people of Sparta, these outline the duties and responsibilities of the Spartan people in return for certain rights. These laws are outlined in verses called the Rhetra, and was supposedly given to Lycurgus, from the Delphic Oracle, for the people of Sparta if they were to rise up and become a powerful nation. The two king system: The two king system refers to a part of the Spartan constitution that defines the form of monarchical government within Sparta, this system that is employed in Sparta is radically different from what is being used elsewhere in the world at this time. The two king system, ironically, involves two kings descended from two different royal families,
