If the government did not protect the people’s rights what could they do

fgiga [73]3 years ago

According to the theory underpinning the Declaration of Independence, known as Natural Law, if a government becomes tyrannous, the people have the right to overthrow it and replace it with a government more responsible to the inalienable, God-given rights of human beings.

The whole rationale behind the Declaration of Independence and the revolt against George III rests on the premise that the British government was treating the colonists unfairly: they had no representation in parliament but were forced to pay high taxes. The British government, they believed, was imposing unjust laws on them.

The Enlightenment theory of Natural Law is expressed in John Locke's Second Treatise of Civil Government, a source document for the Declaration of Independence. The concept of Natural Law challenged the older theory of the Divine Rights of Kings, a school of thought that argued kings or rulers couldn't be replaced from below, because God had anointed them to rule, and they were, therefore, even if tyrannous, doing God's will.

What elements of the Celtic culture survived their invasion?
murzikaleks [220]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The elements of the Celtic culture that survived their invasions were the following.

One of them was the way they forged iron and produced weapons such as blades. The Celtic technique influenced the Roman Army. Celts knew how to work with iron. Celtic metalwork and cultural traditions were an important part of the Iron Age in Europe, reaching far places in the Mediterranean.

Another key aspect that transcended was the way they saw and pa¿ractice religion. They focused on worship elements of nature. They could be considered spiritual people, not religious people.

Another important element was Celtic art that passed the test of time and influenced the Romans and can be admired even today in places such as Scotland and Ireland, where buildings and temples contain much of the influence of Celtic art.
