Which of the democratic forms government proposed by Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau do you think is the best? Why?
dimulka [17.4K]
~ Montesquieu, known as the Balanced Democrat would be the best choice.

Montesquieu did not describe a social contract as such. But he said that the state of war among individuals and nations led to human laws and government.

Montesquieu wrote that the main purpose of government is to maintain law and order, political liberty, and the property of the individual. Montesquieu opposed the absolute monarchy of his home country and favored the English system as the best model of government.

Montesquieu somewhat misinterpreted how political power was actually exercised in England. When he wrote The Spirit of the Laws, power was concentrated pretty much in Parliament, the national legislature. Montesquieu thought he saw a separation and balancing of the powers of government in England.

Montesquieu viewed the English king as exercising executive power balanced by the law-making Parliament, which was itself divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons, each checking the other. Then, the executive and legislative branches were still further balanced by an independent court system.

Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial powers were separate and kept each other in check to prevent any branch from becoming too powerful. He believed that uniting these powers, as in the monarchy of Louis XIV, would lead to despotism. While Montesquieu’s separation of powers theory did not accurately describe the government of England, Americans later adopted it as the foundation of the U.S. Constitution.

SashulF [63]

Actually no one holds the patents award in 1950s automatic video scanning and inspection methods , because in 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has sided with a federal judge in Nevada that concluding barcode scanning patents claimed by the estate of late inventor named Jerome Lemelson and held by Lemelson Medical, Education and Research Foundation LP in January 2004 were absolutely invalid and unenforceable.

Which statement best describes the role of West Coast newspapers in provoking fear of Japanese people in the 1940s?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a. The newspapers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies

Explanation:

Guided and sponsored to do so, the West Coast newspapers started reporting that there are numerous Japanese Americans that are working as spies for Japan. The government feared from this, and they convinced the newspapers to spread it around so that the Japanese Americans are alienated so that they can deal with them in their own way. The people understandably panicked, so when the US government decided to take large portion of the Americans of Japanese ancestry into concentration camps, no one was resisting that. The reality was that there were no proofs of any such activity, and the US government acted cruelly because of its fear and prevention of such a thing to happen.
