Why were the Aztecs careful to treat Cortés as a god?

History

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Hernando Cortes was at first believed by Montezuma (Aztec Emperor) to be Quetzalcoatl the Aztec god himself. Not only did Cortes arrive in "giant ships" and riding "iron clad demons" (War Horses), but he also wore armor and had much more knowledge of the world than the Aztecs who hadn't met any Europeans before Cortes. Montezuma also did not want to provoke a war with Cortes so he was especially careful to treat him with the utmost respect.

Unfortunately Cortes regarded the fascinating civilization of the Aztecs as a land of savages and had only come to search for the rumored (El Dorado/City Of Gold) that was rumored to exist in Latin America. He killed almost all the Aztecs in a unfair war (including Montezuma) and took over the ruined empire as a colony for Spain.

What arguments could be made for or against forcing people to buy health insurance?
scZoUnD [109]

This is in my opinion one of the aspects that makes the central courts and the different lines of thought within a single subject so interesting. The clash of ideas that we have in this case is a perfect example.

On one side we have those who look at the current 30 million uninsured Americans, which include millions in Texas, and the undeniable success it had in Massachusetts. Most of them conclude that this mandate is a government success.

On the other hand, we can find those who believe that this is a terrible invasion of the government to the citizen's free will to choose their own healthcare options, they see government overreach, and at the same time an unprecedented intrusion on individual liberties to which there is no justification.

Unfortunately this is something that millions of Americans have been forced into. It's evident how they refused to create a public health care system, and instead give more power to the private sector.

After this short debate of ideas, I will give you one question to ponder on: Which principle is more important? Your freedom, your civil liberties, and your freedom from the government line of thought, or the possibilty of providing health care to millions of uninsured Americans?

I hope this solves your question!

How did the Gulf on Tonkin Resolution affect relations between the legislative and executive branches of the Us government
disa [49]

Answer:

It increased the power of the executive at the expense of the legislature.

Explanation:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed almost unanimously by Congress, gave the Johnson administration a free hand in Vietnam without the constraints normally applied by the legislature. As a consequence it greatly increased the power of the executive.

However as the war went increasingly badly for the USA, relations between the two branches of government deteriorated.
