Absolute zero

“Zero tolerance policies are policies that call for students to receive automatic suspensions or expulsions as punishment for certain offenses, primarily those involving weapons, threats, or drugs.” (Kauchak & Eggen, 2014). This definition seems to explain the zero tolerance policy best. It gives the major reasons for suspensions or expulsions. In this paper, I am going to discuss why I believe zero tolerance in schools is not as simple as the definition and why I feel that it is not an…

contrasts sharply with absolutism, a form of government in which the ruler has complete governing control over a population and can legislate regardless of the people’s interests. The text appears to be a response to absolutism in Europe that denounces absolute monarchical power, instead favoring humanistic ideas such as natural law and liberty. The author’s implicitly explained background information, his word choice, and the issues addressed imply that…

The French Revolution: A Redefinition of the Form of Government and Politics. During the period of the years 1789-1799, French citizens lived a time of political and social changes unprecedented in history.

Although many changes…

Without the efficacious presence of an absolute monarchy only chaos, war and hardships could arise. Multiple nations divided and in misery, different opinions everywhere one went and no definite resolution, some had no intention of following the law, all these conflicts sum up to the state of Europe before the emergence of absolute monarchy. When the ideal government finally surfaced in the 1600s and 1700s religion, fear and repercussions were elements utilized by a ruler to manage a harmonious…

Methods We began this experiment by laying out the needed materials to find the chromatography of Skittles Sweets and Sours and Crayola markers. Using a ruler and a pencil, a line was drawn on all thirty chromatography strips 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of the paper. This was to ensure that the starting point for each chromatography process was consistent. The chromatography of the skittles was found first. We began by pouring water into a cup. A pipette was used to transfer fifteen…

God in the Monarchy In Europe, during the seventeenth century, it was common to find monarchies. England and France had two different types of monarchy. Not all monarchies were constitutional in Europe. At the period of time it was easy to see Absolutism and Constitutionalism as a form of government. Most of the monarchs were men with the exception of England. Two important reigns were in Europe. One was in England with Queen Elizabeth I and the other one was in France with King Louis XIV. He…

Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a playwright written between 1599 and 1606, at the time of King James I’s reign. During the time period in which King James I ruled England, the “divine right of Kings” doctrine was in place. This was the belief that the king’s rule was God’s will and that the king was the mortal representation of God on Earth. Additionally, it was during this time where religion drove people’s ethics and moral choices, which is why biblical allusions and parallels are often seen in…

implied in the previous law, that all people ought to honour their agreements (XV, 324). While Hobbes identifies many more, these three are most significant to this paper. Nonetheless, this passage appears to be inconsistent with Hobbes’ defence of an absolute government, or indeed any government at all. If people are to live by these laws of nature, they ought to be able to do so peacefully in the absence of any authoritative presence. These laws are not arbitrary or imposed, according to…

The English bills of rights were written in 1689 after King James II was replaced by Mary, the king’s daughter, and her husband William of Orange. According to the article “English Bill of Rights 1689,” the English Bill of Rights of 1689 was basically British law, passed by the parliament of Great Britain. These laws stated the people’s right and liberties. These laws also laid the foundation for the US Constitution as well as constitutional monarchy in England. (English Bill of Rights 1689,…

Machiavelli believed that it is better to be feared than to be loved because people’s human natures are self-interested, evil, and greedy. Furthermore, he insists that a ruler must have no morals or else he will not rule for long. This lead to Locke criticizing Machiavelli…
