History

White raven [17]3 years ago

At the time period, the founding fathers of the United States were heavily influenced by the philosophies of Montesquieu and John Locke. Montesquieu proposed a system of checks and balances by which one aspect of government would not and frankly, could not, possess too much power. The founding fathers accepted this idea thoroughly, as is evidenced by our current governmental system and the three branches. The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches are all designed so that one branch will never exceed the other branches, Montesquieu influenced Benjamin Franklin in particular as he traveled to France frequently. Moreover, John Locke proposed the social contract. Essentially, the social contract states that a government must secure the rights of its citizens. In the event that it fails to do so, the citizens then have the right to rebel and overthrow such a government. The natural rights which he spoke of referred to a citizens right to life, liberty, and property. The founding fathers took his philosophy to heart, especially Thomas Jefferson. He made a slight variation though on Locke's natural rights, writing instead that citizens have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

In what way did China and the nomads influence each other
velikii [3]

Answer:

(can copy and paste if you want) Although Chinese civilizations remained highly isolated compared to their European and Asian counterparts such as India and the Roman Empire, the Chinese were still able to create connections for trade and cultural exchange with other, particularly nomadic societies. Through the development of the Silk Road, Chinese civilizations and nomadic civilizations both played important roles in the early beginnings of world trade and through this vast connection they were able to exchange goods and ideas. With nomads carrying Legalist and Buddhist concepts with them across lands, we can see in Chinese art and cultural development that, although very little, exchange with nomadic populations did occur.
