First I need to see the 2 passages then I can answer it.
A: What is an inference that can be made about Dr. Mesmer's skill?
Answer:
The answer is to convince readers that a prince must choose a trustworthy servant to represent him
Explanation:
Niccolo Machiavelli, the author of the revolutionary and controversial book, 'The Prince' wrote the passage stated in Chapter 22 to convince its readers that a prince must choose a trustworthy servant to represent him.
Machiavelli wrote that <u>a servant is a representation or a reflection of what kind of person the prince is</u>. He argued that although a servant is of no importance to a prince, his presence and traits will be a basis of forming an impression or an opinion about the prince.
For example, if a servant is faithful and capable, he will be known as a wise prince because he has the power and ability to make them loyal and competent. And the same goes if they are dishonest and inept, it will make him look a weak and incapable prince.
Thoreau’s general opinion of government relate to his imprisonment, as described in "Civil Disobedience" as:
A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.
Henry David Thoreau's argument in the “Civil Disobedience” was that the citizens of a nation need to disobey the laws implemented by the state if the laws are unjust. He speaks about his experience when he protested against slavery and the Mexican War by refusing to pay taxes. He adds that there are two types of laws, one is made by God and the other by the people. The laws made by God is about humanity and is higher than the laws made by men. He adds that if the laws made by men prove to be unjust and are against humanity then the people should have the right to disobey them.
