There were twelve “main” gods each representing some element of society that the Greeks deemed important. The King of the gods was Zeus, who ruled over the sky, and controlled the weather. Next there was Poseidon, who ruled over the seas, and then there…

1. If you were colonist, would you be a loyalist, a Patriot or undecided? Why? Having all your aspects of your daily life control by a central faceless government seem like an easy way to avoid conflict. Do all people want to be told what to do and be stuck in an endless spiral of a broken system? That is why I side with the Patriot. The freedom to be yourself and govern yourself without the fear of silver spoon king’s army forcing the people with taxes and laws from thousands of miles away.…

Machiavelli states that both monarchies and republics are the most widespread, used forms of government; however, as Machiavelli critiques the way monarchies are run, specifically in Florence under the Medici family, The Prince highlights how republics could be more beneficial. Although The Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli, discusses both forms of government, the text is still…

Relations, it is often stated that countries that practice democracy do not go to war with each other. Scholars often say that it is because of the core values that the countries practicing this form of government share. All leaders have different preferences for how they like to get things done, and what their core system caters to. Democracy is characterized by the belief that the power rests in the hands of the people. If two democracies declared war on each other, the common values that they…

The first presidential election I can remember in my lifetime was in 2008. I can only vaguely remember Bush. Obama was the first and only president I truly understood and was able to follow before Trump. Now, with Donald Trump in office, I have entered a new stage of my life. As I become an adult, I become more active in politics. Understanding what is going on with the president is more important now than it ever has been before. In the next election, I will be able to vote. I have to be…
