The argument that supports the idea that a government based on majority rule cannot be based on justice is that those in power are corrupt.

<h3>Who was Ralph Waldo Emerson?</h3>

He was an important writer and abolitionist during the 19th century.

<h3>What did he think about politics?</h3>

One of the ideas supported by Waldo was that the existing government was far from ideal. Indeed, Waldo believed government based on majority rule does not enhance justice.

This is because according to Waldo all political parties and politicians are corrupt as they are looking for their own interests rather than thinking about general society.

Shakespeare has Friar Lawrence leave Juliet in the tomb because his entrance and exit does not matter to the story.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Friar Lawrence is a character from the tragedy <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> written by William Shakespeare. He is a cleric who helps Romeo and Juliet throughout the play - he helps them meet, marries them, and wants to help them reunite after Romeo's banishment. He is the one who gives the sleeping potion to Juliet, tricking everyone into thinking that she died. He wants her to leave the tomb with him so that he can hide her in a nunnery, but she refuses to leave after realizing that Romeo is dead. After this, he runs, leaving her alone in the tomb.

Every character's actions matter, including their entrance and exit. There is no such thing as meaningless actions, especially in tragedies such as this one. Laurence is afraid of the consequences he would face if someone found out about him faking Juliet's death. He hears the authorities approaching and runs. Juliet is left alone and kills herself.
