<em>What does this statement suggest about how Beveridge believes Americans should address the natural resources within our country? </em>
Senator Beveridge is a person who believes that progress should be continuous and that it should always be positive. He seems to believe that growth and civilization is necessary, and he most likely gives little thought to social or environmental concerns. Therefore, it is likely that the senator would believe Americans should constantly utilize the resources in their country to create more growth and more expansion.
<em>Does this statement suggest a special position for Americans as they pursue growth and prosperity? </em>
This statement tells us that the senator believes Americans to be chosen by God to lead this unstoppable progress. Therefore, they have a special position when it comes to pursuing growth and prosperity. He also believes Americans to be superior to other races, which he calls "savages."
<em>What has been the outcome of this position?</em>
The most direct outcome of this position has been imperialism. This attitude played an important role in events in American history such as the annexation of the Philippines.
American founding fathers were concerned with the limits of democracy. Their concerns are similar to those of political philosophers such as John Stuart Mill (<em>On Liberty</em>) and Alexis de Tocqueville (<em>Democracy in America</em>). In particular, they were concerned that an excess of democracy would lead to a “tyranny of the majority.”
The tyranny of the majority refers to a situation in democratic rule where a self-interested majority can put their interests above those of the minority. It is an inherent weakness of majority rule and can lead to the oppression of minorities.
Alexander Hamilton wrote to Thomas Jefferson about this worry after The Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the constitution that was drafted reflects these concerns. The Electoral College is partly a safety mechanism to prevent the democratic victory of a tyrannical despot. Other mechanisms introduced were the Bill of Rights and the division of power, which prevents the centralization of all power in one individual, even a democratically elected one.
