It is said that great minds think alike, but history has proven time and time again the flaw in that statement. Two men, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, both had arguably great minds yet their opinions were vastly different in certain areas, perhaps most obviously in the political realm. Both John Locke and Thomas Hobbes advocated different beliefs on government and politics during the seventeenth century. Thomas Hobbes saw the human soul as inherently evil, and believed that an absolute government

History shapes and structure how we perceive works from those times, in all art forms, no less literature. Writings always reflects the time period it’s written in, perhaps as a knowing agreement, a reaction, or unwitting influence. Readers have come to expect these impacts, as in fiction stories such as “The Crucible” or Animal Farm, which are direct allegories to the effects of Communism in Soviet Russia and America with McCarthyism, or have that knowing presence in stories that may take place

The primary source is a proclamation of the quotas of immigrants allowed in the United States from each country. It is a political document so the information is straightforward, but the document does not contain all the details and the reasons behind it. It is also important to remember that in order for the document to become official many people in the government have to agree to it, so the document has been edited to become something different than it originally was. The document begins with

Benjamin Franklin was a very imperative individual in American history. He was an inventor, a founding father of the United States, author, politician, initiated his own businesses and represented his country. Benjamin Franklin led to many vital discoveries in physical science. He also created many new inventions, that we currently use today.

Hammurabi and Moses Hammurabi and Moses were most famous for being lawgivers, despite this similarity, had they met back in the Neolithic era, their ideals on legislation and how it should be carried out would have clashed tremendously. Although there are generous amounts of parallel and dissimilar thoughts and ideas, both leaders are commended for the regulation of their people’s behavior. Both men had a large influence on the rehabilitation of their people, but I think Hammurabi had a bigger

George Washington was the General in charge of the Continental Army which defeated the British Empire in 1783. His title was Commander-in-Chief. He was elected as the first president of the United States by the 2nd Continental Congress (elected by 50 to 56 Congressmen), because he was elected before there was a United States. He didn’t want the job. From what I’ve read he dreaded the in-fighting, political maneuvering, and demands made by the members of the government as they created and established

For my Unit One Essay, I have decided to write about the word “tyranny”. The two dictionaries I have chosen for this assignment were Merriam-Webster, and American Heritage Dictionary given from freedictionary.com, both on line dictionaries. Merriam-Webster’s definition of the word tyranny says, “the cruel and unfair treatment by people with power over other”, and “a government in which all power belongs to one person”. The Free Dictionary’s definition of the word tyranny is, “a government in which

With this document, Jefferson influences the stability of future nations through the French revolution and other revolutions located in Latin America. Jefferson exhibits the basic human rights such as “...a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requir[ing] that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation” (92). By

With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.
