History

bezimeni [28]3 years ago
6 0

"The first communities in West Africa were made up of extended families.  An extended family included you parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.  These groups may be as many as 20-25 people and usually the group was lead by a male elder.  As time went on the groups found that there were times where they needed more people to accomplish something.  They may have needed to do some large scale farming, fend off an attack, or stop a flood.  Permanent villages, towns, and cities sprung up in areas where there was lots of resources or trade routes.  Sometimes these areas were able to conquer their neighbors due to their wealth and ability to hire soldiers.  These areas then turned into the first kingdoms of West Africa such as Mali, Ghana, and Songhai."

How would the ideas presented by the philosophers(John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau) be a motivation for the Fren
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Ideas John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau helped popularized the concept of Democracy. (hobbes actually supported absolute monarchy in general, but several of his ideas are implemented in Democracy)

Explanation:

John Locke was known for his ideas about law supremacy. No one should be placed above the law. Even the government officials should be subjected to the same law as the people.

Hobbes presented the idea that The government exist only to represent the interest of the people who form them. Especially to maintain order, economic stability and safety from foreign attack.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau presented the idea that The government should guarantee the freedom of its people.

The combination of these ideas contributed to the democratic ideology that we used today, This exact ideology was held by the people of France when they revolted against the monarchy. They no longer wanted the government ruled by nobles. They wanted the people to be influenced in determining the policies taken by the government.

How does the internet satisfy the needs of democracy?
lakkis [162]
It satisfies the needs, as you are able to do anything you want on it, comment, share and put your opinions out there freely. You are not controlled by anyone, unless you use this democracy in a bad manner, from which you may face consequences such as being banned, etc. I hope this helped...
