... He defended this by saying a revolutionary government has the right to “summon extraordinary activity”. He felt he literally had the right to make up rules as needed, as there were no established rules during that time. This was to rationalize the atrocities he felt necessary and justified. This was a repressive environment, unbending and too rigid for the French People. Innocent people could be accused of being “outside the sovereign” and executed. Robespierre’s position became precarious, and the people of the National Convention began to feel threatened by his so called “emergency measures of terror”. On July 27 1794, rightists joined the Plai ...
... he learned from Gamaliel's school. Saul did not believe Jesus was the Messiah because Jesus often denounced the Pharisees and seemed to oppose all their rules. He had once heard that Jesus taught the people to disobey the rabbis and had caused chaos in the synagogues. All true Jews accused Him as enemy of Israel. Saul believed that anyone who followed Jesus should be put to death. With this thought in mind he returned to Jerusalem and offered his service to the high priest to persecute anyone who is opposed to the way of the synagogue. Saul took his job so fiercely that every worshipping assembly feared his name. He had a temper and was merciless. He was qui ...
... you get about that much of the electoral votes, that would be close to 18 electoral votes you could have towards your victory, but instead you get NONE, nada ZIP! Perhaps revision is the answer to this problem or maybe it is just fine the way it is. After all it is a simple fool proof plan. YOU get none or you get all. It doesn't take a math whiz to figure that one out now does it. And with the people nowaday, we probably don't need anything oo complicated. But is it really fair? We are after all a DEMOCRATIC nation. Which means the power lies in the people, but it wouldn't really seem that way if more people want a candiaite to be president, but ano ...
... said they needed them for there own economy. Also three million Germans became part of Czechoslovakia, a country that was originally made for Czech's and Slavs. The German's where not given a chance to choose were they would belong. Another situation where Germany was ignored was the taking away of their colonies. Germany had no choice and nor did the colonies. They were unable to vote whether they wanted to remain under the rule of Germany or not. Germany was ignored in many other situations, the reason for this was because they were considered as a defeated country and were not given any rights. The countries that were given self-determination were to ...
... person would develop enormous swelling in there groin or armpits, black spots would appear on there legs, then diarrhea would occur and the victim would die between the third and fifth day. The plague was not only transmitted by the flea’s, the plague was also transmitted by air and if a person was infected that way he would cough up blood and then die within 3 days. By the end of the plague around two-thirds of Europe’s population was dead, and the people that did survive had a very hard time living in the conditions that Europe was in. With most of Europe’s population dying or already dead the country it self was in a mess. One of its biggest pro ...
... major cause for revolution within the economic theory is of economic subordination of colonies to England. The Grenville Ministry passed a number of acts, but the main act of provocation to the colonists was the stamp act. The stamp act was protested upon the principle of "no taxation without representation". The stamp act was affecting virtually all the colonists, and restricted economic prosperity, thus it was protested by colonists. The Townshend acts were also a factor in the economic theory, Sam Adams had said "The parliament was taxing illegally!", most colonists agreed, and a boycott of British goods resulted. When the British passed the Currency act, thi ...
... in 1733 and the spinning jenny in 1764, the making of yarn and the weaving of cloth had been much the same for thousands of years. By 1800 a host of new and faster processes were in use in both manufacture and transportation. Several systems of making goods had grown up by the time of the . In country districts families produced most of the supplies that they used, while in the cities merchandise was made in shops, and manufacturing was strictly regulated by the guilds and by the government. The goods made in these shops were limited and costly. The merchants needed cheaper items, as well as larger quantities, for their growing trade. They had to establish anoth ...
... money. This meant that they were taking away jobs from the people living in Boston, which only upset them more. Some of the Patriots would taunt the soldiers and throw stuff at them, like eggs and rocks. When the king made Thomas Hutchinson governor of the colony, the colonists were even more angered, because they did not agree with the governor’s thinking. They attempted to boycott stores that bought from England. Caught up in the patriotism, young boys would throw dirt, oyster shells, and dirt at those who went into the stores. On February 22, 1770, eleven-year-old Christopher Snider, was doing just that, when he was shot in the chest and stomach. Th ...
... are kept, and prevented the men from squandering them further on the war. They then beat back an attack on their position by the old men who have remained in Athens while the younger men are out on campaign. When their husbands return from battle, the women refuse to have sex with them. This sex strike, which is portrayed in a series of (badly) exaggerated and blatant sexual innuendoes, finally convinces the men of Athens and Sparta to agree to a peace treaty. The Lysistrata shows women acting bravely and even aggressively against men who seem resolved on ruining the city-state by prolonging a pointless war and excessively expending reserves stored in th ...
... British support, and a great deal of lesser issues. Settlers in the back country (Piedmont) felt particularly oppressed by the laws drawn up by an assembly largely composed of eastern landowners. "Local" officials in many counties, particularly in the western segment of the back country were not local men at all, but friends of the royal governor, William Tryon. These so-called "friends" often collected higher fees than authorized by the law while obtaining tax money or divided a single service into many services and charged fees for each. Lawyers who followed the judges around the colony also fell into the same habit. The citizens of Anson, Orange, and ...
