How does Locke’s argument about tyranny compare to Jefferson’s argument

History
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: John Locke defines Tyranny in relation to Liberty and the exercise of power beyond the right. On the other hand Thomas Jefferson is talking about the Law and only a definition between a government and the citizens.

Explanation:

John Locke defined Tyranny as "usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to; and this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law, but his will, the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion."

On the other hand Thomas Jefferson defined Tyranny as "that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry."

Describe the Mudsill and Positive Good Theory.<br> If y’all want 20 points plssss answer it ty
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

James Henry Hammond was a senator and wealthy plantation owner from South Carolina. This excerpt is from a speech he made to the Senate on March 4, 1858, in which he lays out his famous "mudsill theory" and states, "In all societies that must be a class to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life." This class, says Hammond, makes it possible for the higher class to move civilization forward.

In the antebellum period, pro-slavery forces moved from defending slavery as a necessary evil to expounding it as a positive good. Some insisted that African Americans were child-like people in need of protection, and that slavery provided a civilizing influence. Others argued that black people were biologically inferior to white people and were incapable of assimilating in free society. Still others claimed that slaves were necessary to maintain the progress of white society.
