Why does Watts think what happened to Rome could help countries now?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
3 0

Watts says he believes that the autocracy that occurred and dominated Rome, can occur today.

He claims that this autocracy was due to growing social inequality and the inability of the Rome government to remedy the problems arising from it. This resulted in a strong wave of violence that completely left the control of the government and made people start to believe that all this disorder was created because of all the freedoms that democracy allows.

Watts says that for years we can see these same problems occurring in the US and other parts of the world, which justifies the support of many citizens for authoritarian and abusive governments, just like what happened in Rome

Define and explain the purpose of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolution in response to the Alien/Sedition Acts
Viktor [21]

The 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of laws passed by Congress and signed into law by President Adams. These Alien laws included the ability to new powers to deport immigrants and making it harder for new immigrants to vote (raising the time for residence from 5 years to 14 years). The Sedition Act prohibited public opposition to the federal government. Violators could face fines and/or imprisonment for writing, uttering, printing, or publishing false or malicious writing against the government.

The purpose of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolution (1798/1799) were political statements drafted by Kentucky and Virginia legislatures condemning the Alien and Sedition Acts as unconstitutional. The Kentucky Resolution declared that states individually have the power to declare federal laws unconstitutional. The Virginia Acts assert that states have the power to interpose unconstitutional laws.
