The French Revolutionist, Jean Paul Marat

In the JonBenet Ramsey case, the bad outweighs the good. Police have been criticized for not properly securing the Ramsey home in the beginning of the investigation. The case is a high profiled case dealing with a prestigious family. John Ramsey was well known and worshiped in the community due to his wealth. As lead investigator in the case, the original detectives in the case should be given a standing ovation. The case was difficult to solve from the start due to media attention. The detectives tried everything to get a conviction but it was side barred due to misrepresented of scientific evidence. The case was simply based on political favors and cover-ups. The lead investigator should have immediately requested a change of venue in order

Ancient Rome and the French Revolution were, although both a long time ago, very different political atmospheres. As captured by William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar was becoming a dictator with only the beloved Marcus Brutus to save the people. While, flash forward a few thousand years, in the French Revolution, anyone with a high social standing was murdered as shown by Jacques-Louis David’s painting, The Death of Marat. The two historical events seem wildly different- except for the killers. Charlotte Corday and Marcus Brutus are comparable via their public image, murder weapon, and motive.

The French Revolution produced countless influential politicians throughout its tumultuous course. As a political figure in the French Revolution, Jean Paul Marat began as a nonentity and became a martyr to the revolutionary patriots of France. His influence is often misconstrued, and sometimes overlooked. Although he was not a political leader like Robespierre, his influence was substantial in that he motivated many people through his writings and powerful personality. Through his involvement with the Cordeliers’ Club and his journal Ami du peuple, started September 1789, Marat was able to express the indignation of the bourgeois class through his hopes for social revolution. His

Revolutionary era intellectuals attempted to create a new American culture by defining the foundations of a great republican government, stressing the need for a national language, and outlining the basis of a republican education system. Cultural views in the 21st century still value some of the core beliefs of the revolutionary era intellectuals but most values have been reshaped throughout history.

What makes someone American? Is it just living in the country, or is there more to it? America is the melting pot of all countries. Mixtures of all different cultures, races, and descendants from everywhere come across the world to be an American and live that American dream in this land of opportunity. In the 1700s when America was blossoming as a country as it overthrew the British Empire, some important men like Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Crevecoeur embodied qualities that the American man should posses. Essential and important aspects for being an American are discussed through their writings, and it is noted that one must have bravery, pride, and the drive to work hard to be considered this new man, an American.

Max soon became an activist for the Revolution and was a major supporter of Rousseau. He rejected the monarchy, slavery, and called for reform. He was very popular for these reasons among others and was nicknamed “the incorruptible”

Maximilien Robespierre is oft-cited as the sole and driving force behind the excesses of the Terror; while his role in the Terror can’t be ignored, clemency must be exercised in the charges levelled against him. The majority of the deaths under the Terror – approximately 70% - occurred in the suppression of the Vendee and Federalist Revolts (with the mitraillades, noyades, etc.), largely under the representatives-on-mission, who operated partially under Barére’s (a Committee of Public Safety member) order to suppress the Vendee. Many of these representatives-on-mission were recalled and arrested by the Committee of Public Safety for their excessive brutality; demonstrated in General Westermann’s letter reading “I have crushed the children…massacred the women…”; which was later constrained by the Law of Frimaire.

“A Hanging” by George Orwell is an influential, autobiographical essay, in which the subject of capital punishment is powerfully examined. The essay is based on a prisoner’s execution in a Prisoner of War camp in Burma during the Second World War. In the essay, Orwell is a prison guard for the camp and carefully illustrates his views on capital punishment. The structure of the essay is of three distinct sections. These sections provide the reader with contrast and repetition, and are grounded in reality but with emphasis on the creative,

Before Napoleon came to power in France, the state of the Jewish people was uncertain. Some years they flourished as a community, but some years they fell victim to anti-Semitism and hatred. They were constantly moving from country to country as they were continually getting expelled from one and accepted to another in a very short time. Their fortunes changed for the better after the French revolution in 1789. In that year, the French national assembly passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The Jews were not specifically named in the declaration, but somehow were recognized. The Sephardi Jews got emancipation two months afterward the Declaration and Ashkenazi Jews, two years after that. These freedoms only happened after long debates between Monsieur Clermont-Tonnerre who represented the Jews and Monsieur De La Faire, who represented the French government, who did not want to give the Jews emancipation.

Voltaire was born on 21 November 1694 in Paris, France, the most youthful of five youngsters in a working class family. His dad was François Arouet, a legal official and minor treasury official; his mom was Marie Marguerite d 'Aumart, from an honorable group of Poitou territory. Voltaire (real name François-Marie Arouet) (1694 - 1778) was a French rationalist and essayist of the Time of Edification. His knowledge, mind, and style made him one of France 's most noteworthy authors and savants, regardless of the discussion he attracted. He was a candid supporter of social change (counting the resistance of common freedoms, the flexibility of religion and organized commerce), in spite of the strict oversight laws and cruel punishments of the period, and made utilization of his sarcastic attempts to scrutinize Catholic creed and the French foundations of his day. Alongside John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, his works, and thoughts impacted essential scholars of both the American and French Revolutions. He was a productive author and delivered works in practically every artistic frame (plays, verse, books, expositions, chronicled and logical works, more than 21,000 letters and more than two thousand books and leaflets). This essay will cover, Voltaire 's life and Candide 's production, the explanation of the optimism, how Voltaire uncovered the absence of ladies rights and the unfairness against them.

The Enlightenment was a period of mass introduction of new ideas, high in intellect, for the purpose of social growth. People’s views on issues were greatly influenced by the philosophes of that time. People started believing that all men were equal, and thus deserved equal treatment. Some of the philosophes who greatly influenced this period were Voltaire, Denis Diderot, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. These men were critical thinkers who analyzed how society was run, and proposed better ways in which the world could operate. Though these men were high on intellect, they had similar world changing views, and all believed that man was free and this freedom should not be taken away. They still had some ideas that differed, but never diminished their

“A Hanging”, composed by George Orwell, is a personal testimony set in the 1920’s in Burma. The narrative depicts the death of an unknown prisoner and the role of those who enforce the death sentence. Through the process of the execution, Orwell illustrates the effects of capital punishment on the executioners and the executed in an attempt to convey an Abolitionist message. While stated only once in his story, Orwell takes an emphatic position against capital punishment. The author does not use the classic argumentative style; instead, he uses implications of his characters to present the four main points against capital punishment. George Orwell’s Abolitionist message in “A Hanging” is conveyed through the prisoner, dog, functionaries, and their actions, words, and body language.

Before the French Revolution Louis XVI was in power, but in due time his old regime of absolute monarchy was brought down. Some people were in favor of this revolution wanting equality and some were not. One person who was in favor of this desire for equality and change was
