<em />In the House, the majority party does everything except select the minority party leader. The minority party is responsible for selecting their own party leader. The majority party appoints committee chairpersons and members, decides on the size of the committees as well as sets the agenda for major legislation. If the majority party does not think a piece of legislation is important, it will not go before the house to be debated and voted on. The majority party is incredibly powerful and is virtually able to control the House.

Compare and contrast Hobbes’ and Locke’s views of human nature and the role government should play
svet-max [94.6K]

Thomas Hobbes believed that people were inherently suspicious of one another and in competition with one another.  This led him to propose that government should have supreme authority over people in order to maintain security and a stable society.

John Locke argued that people were born as blank slates, open to learning all things by experience.  Ultimately this meant Locke viewed human beings in a mostly positive way, and so his approach to government was to keep the people empowered to establish and regulate their own governments for the sake of building good societies.

Further explanation:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan</em>  in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and evil toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government</em> in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)

Explain the transition from isolationism to participation in WWII in a paragraph.
MissTica

Answer:

Explanation:

Roosevelt was not an isolationist at heart. But WWI was still fresh in the minds of the general public. Many families had lost relatives which up until WWII was the most devastating war the world had seen. Many Americans didn't want to get involved in Europe's politics and problems. A marvelous movie has been made about this called <em>The Americanization of Emily</em> staring a very young Julie Andrews (who does not sing a note) and a very handsome earthy James Garner. It captures beautifully how Americans felt about getting involved in other people's wars.

Roosevelt himself wanted to help Great Britain, but the problems with domestic worries in the United States forced him to hesitate. He needed something to motivate the public into getting into a war they did not want.

Japan provided him with Pearl Harbor. The American Public was moved into action. Some of the Japanese knew it, including the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor (Admiral Yamamoto who famously said "All we have accomplished was to awaken a sleeping giant.")

So began the bloodiest war the planet has ever seen.

I'm sorry this is so long, but you cannot talk about the transition period of WWII without knowing how people felt.
