monarch but with limited powers. The Glorious Revolution led to the formation of a constitutional monarchy in England. Similarly in France, after a tumultuous decade of their own with the Reign of Terror under Maximilian Robespierre and the incompetent Directory a new leader rose in the form of Napoleon Bonaparte and the French empire. Perhaps the most glaring difference is the fact that while the monarchy still continues in a constitutional form in England, France eventually became a…

France has a long history of problems, wars, and conflict that have led the country through many regimes including: monarch, empress, republics. To start off I will discuss the French Monarchy and how the end of the Monarch was a direct result of the French revolution. During the 18th century the French government, or King Louis XVI, tried to raise taxes as a direct result of war and court life costs. The French citizens did not like this and thus they revolted which leads to the French…

Since 9/11, security at airports around the world has increased dramatically, with metal detectors, x-ray scanners, and many other technologies to help keep countries safe. However, it can also be a huge waste of time, such as how you can’t carry more than 100mL of cologne in your carryon bag, or how they measure your nail clippers and nail file since they could be a “threat” to national security. The most recent addition too many airports in the U.S. is a machine called the Backscatter X-Ray.…

Both John Locke and Thomas Hobbes were two extraordinary individuals; both lived through the be-heading of the king, the English Civil war, and the aftermath of the 30 years war. Trying to see the world through their eyes would be somewhat impossible, but their works give us glimpses to beginning to see their perspective. Leviathan (Thomas Hobbes) and Two Treatises of Government (John Locke) is works that give models of a competent government. Locke and Hobbes brought forth the concept of the…

Japan has a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. In a constitutional monarchy, there is a king or queen, or in Japan’s case, an emperor. This figure must follow the…

To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture? The media plays a critical role in the dissemination and preservation of cultural values in any nation. When the US entertainment industry invades and dominates Canadian media, I am not surprised to see defensive reactions from the Canadian government in an attempt to preserve its culture. After conducting some research to see how severely the US entertainment industry…

Thomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan during the English Civil War, promoting the necessity of sovereignty in order to achieve a functional society. With the influence of Francis Bacon and Niccolò Machiavelli, Hobbes presented his theories through empiricism and the social dynamics of power. Hobbes’ philosophy is a denial of classical teachings and the acceptance of science or the new age of reason. Hobbes devotes chapters in the Leviathan to even explicitly go against traditional Aristotle teachings.…

ideas of government. Hobbes discussed he necessity of the absolute rulers, because only strong leadership would allow for people to stay out of the state of nature. Hobbes went as far to say that the subjects cannot throw off the Monarchy. He stated: “cannot cast off Monarchy…[to] break their contract made to that man [monarch], which is injustice.” At this point Lock could not contain himself, and broke stating the importance of personal freedom, and entering into society for “the…

For years the king ruled with an iron fist, so the colonist decided to fight back and break apart from his strict ruling over England. Now that we have established America, a government was then formed. The government then created the Article of Confederation, but it failed quickly. The colonist then gathered together to make the constitution. Before the constitution was ever completed it was quickly ridiculed by the anti-federalist. The anti-federalist wanted a Bill of Rights added to the…
