France’s history is one of the most complicated and richest history in the world, but its beauty always mesmerizes the history lover. In the 8th century, after the death of Charlemagne came the division of the empire as the valid Treaty of Verdun was made . The three parts are now approximately France, Germany, and Italy. From 885 to 886, Charles the Fat took over Paris, however, he was incapable to show up at the battle with the Viking, proving that he was unable to protect the people, later he…

shoulders of present and future government, it also has a lot to do with past government officials as well. Kurt Schlichter, a retired army official and professor at an army academy, gives his opinion based on his experience serving our country on the government, and how it effects our obsession with zombies. He goes into detail about how in our history we have had many presidents, like Kennedy, George W. Bush, and now Obama that promise us many things they cannot deliver. These are the some of…

Colonial America was both democratic and undemocratic. Their government was looked like a democratic one, even though some of their laws and qualifications were very undemocratic. There was inequality in gender, race, and wealth. Based off of documents 4-5, women had barely any rights, while African-Americans had none at all. Though, Colonial America was only working in democracy. Colonial America was democratic because they had free elections where citizens could vote on their…

The American and Italian Government The world is full of many governments that have different types of structure. The Italian and the United States structure covenidarilly have the same fundamental. Even with that they run their government uniquely. The United States and the Italian Legislature and individual rights are similar but do differ from each other. The citizens of the United States religion does not affect the government or the citizen rights. In the United States they have a the…

Democracy wasn’t created overnight. It was made from years of wisdom and experience. Eventually the American colonists decided to refuse the British King in the American Revolution, but the colonists didn’t just do that out of the blue. They were influenced by the Age of Enlightenment and the men who induced it, the philosophes. Europeans no longer lived in the middle ages. Ocean voyages and the printing press brought them to a new way of life which was never thought possible before. The…

I strongly believe that the events that took place in France from 1780-1812 help France and other nations progress to become a more stable democracy. The third estates revolted against the king and it was a turning point to world history. The poorest people did not have the chance to give their voices to higher status people but they still stood up for themselves until the king heard their voices, this event is the Tennis Court Oath. Robespierre was a very nice person and he helped defend the…

Starting in 1789, there was a large clamor to change the economic and fiscal world in France. Many events characterized this revolution, such as the Tennis Court Oath, Storming of the Bastille, the Declaration of the Rights of Man, National Assembly, and the March on Versailles. It started due to argument over power of the king and the method of voting. Leaders looked to end feudalism and have a constitutional monarchy rather than an absolute monarchy. The first major concept of the…

In today’s society, we are told that we live in a democracy; a political system governed by the rule of the majority. A more accurate definition from the Oxford Dictionary is, “A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives”. With monetarily driven corruption and lobbying by the private sector influencing the policies that govern our society, it is difficult to consider our economic structure as such. Our…

In Plato’s Republic, the Principle of Specialization is proposed. Despite being one of the most repulsive features of the narrative, this principle is the foundation of the community Socrates and his peers create (Republic 370c). This principle states that “productivity is increased . . . [when an individual] does the one thing for which he [or she] is naturally suited, and does it at the opportune moment” (Republic 370c). I think that individuals should be well rounded and refrain from…
