PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Like in the Cold War, the United States was trying to stop the spread and diminish a belief in the War on Terror: Islamic extremism. Unlike the War on Terror however, the Cold War was the fight against political forms like communism against democracy and capitalism. Also, in the Cold War the United States and Russia were trying to do things subtly so that another global war wouldn’t break out. In the War on Terror, the United States tried to stop oppressive groups with force. The role of the United States in world politics has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It has worked to provide influence and support in countries without directly involving our military troops. They use tactics like humanitarian aid and diplomacy instead of military tactics.

The correct answer is B. The Nuremberg trials made every person involved in war crimes and genocide accountable for their actions during war time. The excuse of “ just following orders” could no longer be used to defend one’s actions in war.
