<u>This portion of the text shows Hobbes supported an absolute ruler:</u>
- <em>Men are continually in competition for honour and dignity . . . and consequently amongst men there ariseth on that ground, envy, and hatred, and finally war. ... No wonder if there be somewhat else required, besides [contract], to make their agreement constant and lasting; which is a common power to keep them in awe and to direct their actions to the common benefit.
</em>
- <em>
The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another . . . is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will.</em>
Further detail:
Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
Answer:
Jim Crow laws - Cause
Jim Crow laws were laws in the Southern States that disenfranchised African Americans, made segregation legal, gave support to hate organizations like the KKK, and reduced their economic opportunities. Jim Crow Laws were one of the main motivations for African Americans to migrate to the Northeast and the Midwest.
More segregated neighborhoods in the North - Effect
Most African Americans emigrated to low-income neighborhoods of urban areas in the Northern states. As soon as they began to move in, most white people left, as some government policies like redlining also promoted this increased segregation.
Harlem Renaissance - Effect
The Harlem Renaissance was an African American cultural movement that emerged in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan during the first decades of the XX century. It was caused by the Great Migration due to the large number of black people who moved there during this period.
Violence toward African Americans - Cause
Violence toward African Americans in the South was common during and after the Reconstruction Era. Lynchings and hangings were common, and supported by the authorities. This was one of the main motivations for African Americans to migrate to the North.
It was the population policy of the 21st century.
When 20th century ends, the desirable social goal
was sustained and broadly accepted from local and regional levels to the world.
To most citizens of America, the population is not really an issue, but it has
been for the past decades because low population may mean demographic issues.
