Filial piety is the concept that respect and deference should be given to elders within a family, and that there exists a defined hierarchy within a familial structure, mostly based on age and relation to other members.

This concept is easily transferred to political structures, and can be used to assert that one must know his place in society and show obedience, deference, and respect to those higher up in the societal hierarchy, with the emperor at the very top.

Why do you think Lincoln didn't end slavery in the north?
Leno4ka [110]

Question:

Why do you think Lincoln didn't end slavery in the north?

Answer:

The proclamation didn't end slavery because it didn't affect the border slave states that weren't in rebellion, and it had no immediate effect in most of the deep South because, at least on the day it was issued, the slaves were in territory still controlled by the Confederacy.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution. The nation’s founding fathers, who also struggled with how to address slavery, did not explicitly write the word “slavery” in the Constitution, but they did include key clauses protecting the institution, including a fugitive slave clause and the three-fifths clause, which allowed Southern states to count enslaved people for the purposes of representation in the federal government.

In a three-hour speech in Peoria, Illinois, in the fall of 1854, Lincoln presented more clearly than ever his moral, legal and economic opposition to slavery—and then admitted he didn’t know exactly what should be done about it within the current political system.

Abolitionists, by contrast, knew exactly what should be done about it: Slavery should be immediately abolished, and freed enslaved people should be incorporated as equal members of society. They didn’t care about working within the existing political system, or under the Constitution, which they saw as unjustly protecting slavery and enslavers. Leading abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison called the Constitution “a covenant with death and an agreement with Hell,” and went so far as to burn a copy at a Massachusetts rally in 1854.

Answer:the decreased pressure on the food supply reduces starvation and misery or the decrease demand on limited resources reduces starvation and poverty.

Explanation:

The natural decrease of population that occurs when there are natural disasters according to Malthus is a great advantage in reducing a demand that an ever increasing population puts on limited resources.

Malthus calls this a positive check because he believes we need some sort of intervention if we don't want to face a situation whereby we will end up outstripping the available resources or face a situation where the available resources can't meet our needs or can't cover the available number of population.
