Why do Paine thought it was so important to have a written constitution

History
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago
4 0
Thomas Paine believed that our God-given, inalienable rights can best be assured for all persons through the agency of a written constitution.  A written constitution details exactly how we together as citizens will respect and safeguard our own and one another's rights within the society we establish by our constitution.  A constitution also prevents a government that rules without the consent of the governed.

In an essay entitled, "Of Constitutions, Governments, and Charters," Paine asserted:  "<span>A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal."</span>

dem82 [27]
<span>Choice C The local criollos, rather than engage in a bloody forced overthrow, made the king go back to Portugal and asked for his son Dom Pedro, or Pedro the I, to rule. This was a relatively bloodless compromise compared to other nations that allowed the local people to get what they wanted while the King maintained his lineage.</span>

How did the challenges Anna Julia Cooper faced impact her professional and personal life
pav-90 [236]

Anna Julia Cooper became a renknown scholar with important contributions to feminism and African American political philosophy like <em>A Voice from the South By a Black Woman Of the South </em>(1982)

She was born in North Carolina between 1858-1859, before the American Civil War. Her mother was an untutored slave who was able to read the Bible and write a little, and her father was probably her mother's master. This background was actually common for African Americans in slavery times and depicts the uneducation and sexual abuse faced by female slaves as well as the struggle for self-education.

When she was 9 years old and removed from slavery, Anna went to Saint Augustine Normal School in Raleigh, where she studied and also worked as a tutor and educator after completing her studies.

Her background and her mother's situation motivated her to pursue a life of teaching and educating others, as well as highlighting the structures of opression faced by African Americans.
