Thomas Hobbes argued that humans were naturally cruel, greedy, and selfish. If not strictly controlled,
they would fight, rob, and oppress one another. Life in a "state of nature" - without
laws or other controls
- would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." To escape that "brutish” life, people enter into a
social contract with a ruler, giving the ruler absolute power in order to prevent anarchy.
John Locke thought that people were basically reasonable and moral. He argued that man had certain inalienable rights that no government
could deny. These included the right to life, liberty, and property. According to Locke, the best kind of government had limited power and was
accepted by all citizens. Locke rejected the idea of absolute monarchy. He believed that if a government attempted to deny people their natural
rights, then the people had the right to replace the government
Rousseau believed that people were basically good but were corrupted by society. In an ideal society,
people would make the laws and would obey them willingly. Rousseau put his faith in the "general will”
- the will of the majority. According to Rousseau, the problem of government was that too few people
had control over the masses.
Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron de Montesquieu, studied politics throughout his life and wrote a
huge and exhaustive study of government. One of his key views was that authority should be divided. He
believed that each branch of government should serve as a check on the other branches.

what is the importance of honesty and hard work as the keys to becoming a good navigator according to the famous Ahmed bin Majid’s book?

Answers

Aḥmad ibn Mājid ( أحمد بن ماجد), also known as the Lion of the Sea,[1] was an Arab navigator and cartographer born c. 1432[2] in Julfar, part of Oman under the Nabhani dynasty rule at the time,[3][4] (present-day Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates).[5] He was raised in a family famous for seafaring; at the age of 17 he was able to navigate ships. The exact date is not known, but ibn Majid probably died in 1500. Although long identified in the West as the navigator who helped Vasco da Gama find his way from Africa to India, contemporary research has shown Ibn Majid is unlikely even to have met da Gama.[6] Ibn Majid was the author of nearly forty works of poetry and prose.

what is an important feature of north america cities

Answers

Answer:

Geographical treatment of North America, including maps and statistics as well as a survey of its geologic history, land, people, and economy. It occupies the northern portion of the ‘New World.’ North America, the world’s third largest continent

Answer:

There are Different Answers IN the explanation below

Explanation:

Mountain ranges

Young mountains rise in the west. The most familiar of these mountains are probably the Rockies, North America’s largest chain. The Rockies stretch from the province of British Columbia, Canada, to the U.S. state of New Mexico.

The Rocky Mountains are part of a system of parallel mountain ranges known as the Cordilleras. A cordillera is a long series of mountain ranges. Although cordilleras exist all over the world, in North America, “the Cordilleras” indicate the massive mountain ranges in the western part of the continent. The Cordilleras extend from Canada all the way to the Isthmus of Panama.

The Sierra Madre mountain system is part of the Cordilleras. The Sierra Madre stretch from the southwestern United States to Honduras. The Sierra Madre include many high volcanoes (up to 5,636 meters, or 18,500 feet) that stretch across Mexico south of the cities of Guadalajara and Mexico City.

Volcanic mountain ranges in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama are also considered part of the Cordilleras. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur frequently in this region. Volcanic activity can destroy towns and cities. It also contributes to the rich, fertile soils of the region.

Some of the Earth’s youngest mountains are in the Cascade Range of the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, and California. Some peaks began to form only about a million years ago—a blink of an eye in Earth’s long history. The mountains include temperate rain forest—a biome unique to the area. The temperate rain forest receives an incredible amount of precipitation, between 254 to 508 centimeters (100 to 200 inches) annually. However, its cool winters and mild summers promote the growth of mosses, ferns, fungi, and lichens.

The temperate rain forest supports a wide variety of life. The Sitka spruce, western red cedar, and Douglas fir are trees native to North America’s temperate rain forest. Some of these trees grow to more than 90 meters (300 feet) tall and 3 meters (10 feet) in diameter. Black bears, Roosevelt elk, and marmots are indigenous animal species.

The three major desert regions of North America—the Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan—are all in the American southwest and northern Mexico. These large deserts are located in the rain shadows of nearby mountains. The mountains block precipitation and accelerate the movement of hot, dry wind over these regions. The Sonoran is in the rain shadow of the Coast Ranges, the Mojave is in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, and the Chihuahuan is in the shadow of the Sierra Madre.

Notable desert plant species includes the saguaro cactus, Joshua tree, and mesquite. Animal species include the roadrunner, Gila monster, and rattlesnake.

In addition to mountains, deserts, and forests, the northern part of the western region of North America also has the richest deposits of oil and natural gas on the continent. Most of these deposits are located offshore, in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.

Great Plains

The Great Plains lie in the middle of the continent. Deep, rich soil blankets large areas of the plains in Canada and the United States. Grain grown in this region, called the “Breadbasket of North America,” feeds a large part of the world. The Great Plains are also home to rich deposits of oil and natural gas.

Much of the fertile soil was formed from material deposited during the most recent glacial period. This ice age reached its peak about 18,000 years ago. As glaciers retreated, streams of melted ice dropped sediment on the land, building layers of productive soil.

The grassland or prairie regions of the Great Plains make up the largest biome in North America. Extreme weather prevents the growth of large plants but is perfectly suited to the native grasses that dominate the region.

Native grasses vary in size from 2 meters (7 feet) in tallgrass prairies to only 20 or 25 centimeters (8 or 10 inches) in shortgrass prairies. Native animal species include bison, prairie dogs, and grasshoppers.

Natural Wonders

North America’s varied landscape features many natural wonders. It has deep canyons, such as Copper Canyon in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Denali, the continent’s highest peak, stands at 6,194 meters (20,320 feet) within Denali National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. Yellowstone National Park, in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, has some of the world’s most active geysers. Canada’s Bay of Fundy has the greatest tidal range in the world. The Great Lakes form the planet’s largest area of freshwater. The Mississippi River, at 3,730 kilometers (2,320 miles) long, is one of the longest river systems in the world and drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states.

While the powers of the Legislative branch are mediated by the reserve powers clause, they are expanded by the Necessary and Proper Clause, which allows Congress to make all laws necessary for executing the enumerated powers. The Necessary and Proper Clause is also known as which

Answers

Answer:

Elastic Clause

Explanation:

Necessary and Proper Clause is also called Elastic Clause because it allows the federal congress to have the power to extend the constitution, and can then create any law that is essential for the country, that is appropriate to the current scenario of the country and that exercises federal power, that is, that it can be applied equally in all states. This permission was granted to the concrete by the authors of the constitution and reinforces the power of the legislative field.

A person needs to understand not just the basic right, but also the consequences of not exercising that right. This part of the Miranda warning is important because... You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and to have a lawyer present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The above statement is TRUE because it is clearly stated in the five (5) steps of Miranda Warnings which is a form of warning or advice typically provided by police to criminal suspects when apprehended.

It is also contained in the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States of America Constitution. Without Miranda Warnings in a criminal investigation, any confession gotten is considered could and can't be used in a court of law.

Reconstruction ( place the event in the correct sequence . The civil war began .Slavery was outlawed in a constitution amendment. Slavery started in North America . Slaves where freed by presidential proclamation. HELP PLEASE I DON'T KNOW THE ORDER!

Answers

Answer:

Slavery started in North America . The civil war began. Slaves where freed by presidential proclamation. Slavery was outlawed in a Constitutional Amendment.

Explanation:

In the 17th century, the colonists in North America brought along with them some enslaved people. To increase crop yields they turned more and more to slavery but after the American Revolution, most states in the North denounced slavery.

This led to tension with the South where slavery was legal and rampant. Tensions escalated to the American Civil War during which President Lincoln freed the slaves in Southern States via the Emancipation Proclamation.

After the Civil War, Slavery was outlawed with the 13the Amendment to the Constitution.
