History

Answer:

False

Explanation:

There were many Ziggurats in the history of the Sumerian civilization, and not all were built the same size. There are currently 32 different Ziggurats located in Iran and Iraq, and new examples of these millenary constructions are still being found.

For example, the largest is the Ziggurat of Ur, which is located near the current city of Nasiriyah in Iraq. Its size is impressive, only its base measures 201 feet x 147 feet x 49 feet high (but it was supposed to be much taller). It was especially dedicated to the god Nanna or moon god, which was one of the most important for the Sumerian culture. Its age is 4000 years.

While the Ziggurat of Nippur know that his measures were more impressive, although there is almost nothing left of his remains. The measurements of its square base were 296 feet per side and the height of only its first floor was 108 feet, but its maximum height is estimated to be between 197 and 278 feet. It was dedicated to the god Enlil, God of heaven and creation, Regidor of the cosmos. It is located near the current city of Diwaniya in Iraq.

Why do you think Plato felt he could not have a career in government?
Marrrta [24]

Plato contends we are all made of the same three parts yet not all have the parts aligned in a healthy balance. The result is that greed, ambition, and foolishness rule in these unbalanced people. Plato lived through the democratic period in Athens' government and through the oligarchy period when the conquering Spartans installed the wealthy oligarchists as rulers of Athens, a move that unleashed a fierce retribution of bloodshed upon the unseated democratic rulers.

Plato rejected the rule of the mistake prone and seemingly unreasoning democratic faction and equally rejected the oligarchic rule of the retaliatory wealthy elite. After a period of seclusion, Plato wrote the Republic. In it he describes human nature and uses human nature (as he described it) as a metaphor and template for a reasonable government.

He assigns ruling authority to those who have a functioning alignment and balance between their three constituent parts and a dominant dedication to the highest: (1: lowest) love of money (laboring and merchants classes), (2: middle-most class) love of honor (military), and (3: highest) love of wisdom ("scientists, scholars, high-level experts, and similar sophisticates" [Jorn K. Bramann]).

His idea is that the two models he has seen don't work, so a third is needed. That third model is to make a government out of those who have the best minds by virtue of being best trained, best informed and best balanced (in the quote below, take note of and understand the "or"):

Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, ... cities will never have rest from their evils. (Republic)

Cuales son las principales diferencias entre el estado de derecho liberal y el estado social de derecho
Anvisha [2.4K]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las principales diferencias entre el estado de derecho liberal y el estado social de derecho son estas.

El Estado de Derecho Liberal surge a consecuencia de los regímenes absolutistas que dominaron por un tiempo en distintas naciones que tenían monarquías absolutas, en donde el poder del rey era supremo e incuestionable. El Estado Liberal considera que las libertades de los ciudadanos son necesarias en un régimen de participación democrática y en donde existe una separación de poderes que garantice a justicia y facilite una economía basada en el libre mercado.

El Estado Social de Derecho busca dar prioridad al bienestar social de las personas, en lugar de poner énfasis en modelos económicos liberales. El Estado social se enfoca más en la igualdad social, el reparto más equitativo de la riqueza y el trato justo a los trabajadores.
