A. John Locke


In Locke's Two Treatises of Civil Government, he stated that <em>"...no government can exists without the consent of the governed and that the primary purpose of the state was to protect the rights of the citizen." </em>

In other words, the government that we the people have set in place, is only in place to ensure that our rights remain with us. Any violation of this "agreement" would be going against what the government stands for, and therefore gives the citizens the right to overthrow it, and create a new government that will protect their rights.

This of course, is the central idea of the right-wing political parties today, and is the root of their idea of a limited government. It was also why the Anti-Federalists back in the day were afraid of giving the government too much power. For if the government becomes to powerful, they may choose to go against this idea, and take away rights of their citizens, which is what happens with authoritarian regimes.

What was a result of Germany’s involvement in the Spanish civil war
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was a golden opportunity for several of the contemporary powers to exert influence, test new weapons and learn lessons useful for the new great European war in the making in the 1930s. The Third Reich supported fellow fascist forces led by the rebel top military leader, Gen. Francisco Franco, who commanded the rebellion against the leftist Republican government of Madrid. Il Duce Benito Mussolini, the leader of fascit Italy, also offered his support to Spanish "franquistas."

Both Germany and Italy provided weapons, supplies, training and even military personnel to FRanco´s army. The German Luftwaffe tried his new bombers and sent pilots to assist the advance of Spanish fascist units. Tanks were supplied, too. It was German airplanes that carried out the infamous bombing of Guernica, in the Basque Country, a tragedy immortalized by Picasso´s work Guernica.

On the other side, the Soviet Union supported the Republic government with weapons, supplies and some trainers and advisers.
