History

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence was issued “by authority of the good people of these colonies.” It was a revolution, you know.

The Pilgrims did not cite any specific authority for the Mayflower Compact. However, they declared themselves to be loyal subjects of the king of Great Britain. The Compact was based on their experience in organizing dissenting churches in England and, I suppose, in the Netherlands, where they had sought shelter from persecution. In some ways it was in keeping with the English common law, which dealt with problems and controversies as they arose, rather than waiting for the government to settle them. But in some ways it was a revolutionary, democratic statement, asserting the colonists’ right to make their own laws.

How did stalin use censorship and propaganda to support his rule?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Media is a very powerful tool that can be used for either good or bad. The ones who know how to effectively use media are very powerful. Stalin knew this and effectively used it during his reign. The media did celebrate the accomplishments of Stalin and the Communist Party while at the same time attacked anyone who dared say anything. Likewise the material that showed the government in the negative light was not allowed. Thus he strengthened his rule through the clever use of media and censorship.
