How did baron de montesquieu and john locke influence the founding fathers

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."

A farmer living on the edge of a steep mountain would like to increase the amount of props he can grow. Which Inca advancement w
zhenek [66]

The correct answer <em>is a Terrace</em>.

A farmer living on the edge of a steep mountain that would like to increase the number of crops he can grow, can build a terrace, one Inca advancement that could be of the most use for him.

The region of the Andes is a place where the tallest and difficult to access mountains exist. However, the Incas developed intelligent ways to harvest crops to take advantage of the steepest areas in the high mountains. They built terraces, cisterns and irrigation canals in the form of “s” or snakes in the slopes to angled down around the hills and mountains. The terraces covered thousands of hectares in ancient Peru, where Incas grew potatoes and corn.

Who did most of the work on Pyramids
hoa [83]
The PYRAMIDS AND THE GREAT SPHINX rise inexplicably from the desert at Giza, relics of a vanished culture. They dwarf the approaching sprawl of modern Cairo, a city of 16 million. The largest pyramid, built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2530 B.C. and intended to last an eternity, was until early in the twentieth century the biggest building on the planet. To raise it, laborers moved into position six and a half million tons of stone—some in blocks as large as nine tons—with nothing but wood and rope. During the last 4,500 years, the pyramids have drawn every kind of admiration and interest, ranging in ancient times from religious worship to grave robbery, and, in the modern era, from New-Age claims for healing "pyramid power" to pseudoscientific searches by "fantastic archaeologists" seeking hidden chambers or signs of alien visitations to Earth. As feats of engineering or testaments to the decades-long labor of tens of thousands, they have awed even the most sober observers.

Which answer best describes how the Second Empire became the Third Republic
mezya [45]
The Second Empire gave way to the Third Republic after France lost the Franco-Prussian War to Prussia.  

Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (nephew of the more famous Napoleon) had become president of France in 1848, and tried to return to the nostalgic glory days of France as an empire by having a referendum in 1852 to name him as emperor.  But the Second Empire never was as powerful as its predecessor.

The Third Republic, which commenced in 1870, lasted until France fell to German invasion in World War II (in 1940).
