AP Euro? Western Civ? Ugh. :p

Voltaire was a new thinker--he speculated that the people had a voice! He thought that the people needed to rise and take action, a call to arms, if you will. He's basically saying 'if someone were peeing on your face, you as a Christian would do nothing'.

Excerpts from First Inaugural Address of Andrew Jackson:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

C. Government is only a force for good as long as it protects people's rights and stays within established limits.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. In his first inaugural speech, he touched on several important subjects to the American citizens. After reading all of the excerpts you listed, it is easy to understand why he was known as a great man and a good president. To answer the question, after reviewing section 5 you can conclude that the summary would be "Government has little power without the will of the people." He specifically says "as long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will." This helps to see that he wanted to let the citizens be aware he was working for them and without the will of the people, the government would not work. The people are the ones who vote in the elected senators, representatives, congress, judges, and presidents.

How did Liu Bang's methods of ruling the empire differ from the methods used by the Qin Dynasty?
Pavlova-9 [17]

The answer is: A.) He was more lenient and was guided by Confucian ideals.

  • Unlike the government methods used by Qin, which included harsh punishment for those who disagreed with him to the extent to which an individual could be put to death simply by suggesting another way to do things, the methods used by Liu Bang included the <u>abolition of the harsh law of the Qin Dynasty</u> and establishing a new one that was supported by the people. Liu took a series of measures that were <u>good for his people</u> as well, such as the reduction of field taxes levied on the peasants.
  • Another difference is that, while Qin was a legalist (basically someone who believes that people are bad so it is necessary to control every minute of their lives), Liu Bang promoted Confucianism as the dominant political ideology, in which it is believed that a good government should rule by virtue and moral example rather than by punishment or force.

Regarding the other options:

  • Option B.) He banned books and executed scholars who protested: Qin, and not Liu Bang, banned Confucianism along with all other schools that were against his own ideals. Freedom of speech was banned, and Quin ordered the burning of the books that critized him along with people that did so.
  • C.) He divided up the power among several states: Qin, and once again not Bang, divided his empire into 36 provinces. Each had two government officials in charge of it. He implemented this measure so that he could control every citizen.
  • D.) He banned all trade with cultures outside of China: China's natural barriers in the east, south, and west, protected her from invasion. But Qin wanted to reinforce China's protection from the Mongol tribe to the north. Therefore, Qin ordered his people to build The Great Wall, so the people couldn't trade with foreign cultures either.
