\The 1854 Ostend Manifesto

History
1 answer:
Rudik [331]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C) Was part of an attempt by the United States to acquire Cuba.

Explanation:

The Ostend Manifesto was a written document that invited the American Government to purchase Cuba from Spain, and in case Spain refused to sell, to invade Cuba with military force.

It takes the name from the city of Ostend, Belgium, were three American diplomats: James Buchanan, Pierre Soulé, and John Y. Mason met to draft the document.

The rationale behind the manifesto was to enlarge the U.S. territory, to protect national security from a weak, but anyways hostile Spain, and to establish a new slave state.

This manifesto was largely rejected by northerners, who saw it as just another attempt to extend slavery, and it in the end, it failed to gather support.

Did the Founding Fathers make the right choice in basing their new government off the beliefs of John Locke rather than thomas b
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Yes.  The Founding Fathers made the right choice in basing their new government on the beliefs of John Locke rather than Thomas Hobbes.

God actually created all men and women equal and free.  This should be the basis of collective existence in any organized society.  An absolute monarch is not necessary in such an organized society.  The progress made in the US would not have been possible if the monarchical English government was continued.  The creation of the US even helped the English government to do a rethink.  The Queen has less power now than before the creation of the United States.

Explanation:

The beliefs of John Locke (1632 - 1704) are that God created all men and women free by nature and they are equal in the eyes of their creator.  He fought against the contrary belief that people are made by God to be subject to a monarch.

On the contrary, Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) believed that an absolute monarchy was "the only true and correct form of government."  Hobbes in his Leviathan work held that "human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures," and therefore, needed a strong government for collective security, which the individuals cannot secure for themselves.
