PLEASE. Write about pluses political regime "oligarchy"
KiRa [710]
You mean what possible advantage could Oligarchy have?

Oligarchy could mean that people in power will have good education and for example won't be manipulated by populists. For example often people choose their representatives based on very little information, and in an oligarchy, where a small portion of a society (the riches and best educated) rules, it could be more likely that the rulers will have the necessary education and preparaation.

Chambliss critiques the notion of talent or natural ability as it relates to excellence because:_________
erma4kov [3.2K]

Chambliss critiques the notion of talent or natural ability as it relates to excellence because the natural ability is combined with a lot of hard work.

In his first book, Crime and the Legal Process, Chambliss argued that black criminal abuse was far more prominent than middle-class whites and that African Americans had a disproportionately high rate of the arrest.

According to Chambliss's article "A Sociological Analysis of the Laws of Vagrant", the increased severity of penalties for vagrancy was due to major changes in the economy and social structure.

Chambliss critiques' major contribution to criminology was to increase our knowledge of who makes laws, how and why they are enforced, and who benefits.
