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.

The best answer is:
<span>The word peculiar doesn't matter.

We can infer from the passage that the word peculiar means different or strange. Kali said "he looks familiar... not a bit normal", implying that peculiar means not normal. The word is clearly relevant, because it distinguishes the human child from other children. </span>

Write a debate on private is better than public school​
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Both will give you a quality education, so there is no "one is better than the other."

Explanation:

However, I do believe that private school is better because of its overall quality. Families are spending more money for their kids to get a better education. Extra money will go towards the campus (buildings, textbooks, teachers, and so on).

The school will make sure, with more money, that their buildings are clean and safe to use. This will help kids feel comfortable in their classes.

Teachers will likely get higher payment, so they will be more likely to teach better and take better care of their students.

Private schools are also much smaller, so teachers can spend more one-on-one time with their students.
