1) Man is born selfish, but can give up some freedom in return for security provided by the government.

Contrary to other philosophers, Hobbes had a mostly negative view of humans. He believed that people were naturally greedy, selfish and violent, and that this meant that relationships among people that were kind and generous was impossible unless a third party intervened. This party was the government. Therefore, only the government, in exchange for some of our freedom, could ensure our safety.

2) Both believed in the theory of a social contract.

A social contract is an agreement that exists between the government and the people of a country. Both Locke and Rousseau believed this agreement to be the origin of society. Both of them, moreover, believed that the existence of a contract meant that the power of government was limited.

3) The French Revolution inspired Americans to break away from their mother country.

The French Revolution was a source of inspiration to a lot of countries. People who believed in the ideas of Enlightenment saw it as a way to resist oppression and defend freedom and equality. The ideas that were developed during these years in France and that guided the Revolution were imported to America, where they guided the Revolutionary War.

4) It used humor to show the need for social reform.

The novel <em>Candice</em> by Voltaire is an example of satire, and therefore, it uses humour to show the need for social reform. The novel mocks the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, which led to the novel being banned in many parts of Europe.

1) Man is born selfish but can give up some freedom in return for security provided by the government.

2) Both believed in the theory of a social contract.

The social contract is a theory that arose throughout the Age of Enlightenment and regularly involves the legitimacy of the state´s authority over the individual. Some of its most notable theorists were Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

3) The French provided financial support to the American revolutionaries, causing massive debt that led the French king to raise taxes.

When American colonists won independence from Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, the French, who participated in the war themselves, were both close allies and key participants. They were inspired by the American fight against a taxation system they found discriminating and unfair, and their battle against absolutism and unequal rights.

4) It used humor to show the need for social reform.

Candide (1759)  is a French satire by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.

MrMuchimi
Bias is basically being unfair or prejudice to someone or something. It could affect your life, based how you perceive it. However, for me, it makes me realize how others think in their point of view. It doesn't have to be true though

Why did Germany pass the Nuremberg Laws under Adolf Hilters leadership
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Two distinct laws passed in Nazi Germany in September 1935 are known collectively as the Nuremberg Laws: the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. These laws embodied many of the racial theories underpinning Nazi ideology. They would provide the legal framework for the systematic persecution of Jews in Germany.

Adolf Hitler announced the Nuremberg Laws on September 15, 1935. Germany’s parliament (the Reichstag), then made up entirely of Nazi representatives, passed the laws. Antisemitism was of central importance to the Nazi Party, so Hitler had called parliament into a special session at the annual Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg, Germany. The Nazis had long sought a legal definition that identified Jews not by religious affiliation but according to racial antisemitism. Jews in Germany were not easy to identify by sight. Many had given up traditional practices and appearances and had integrated into the mainstream of society. Some no longer practiced Judaism and had even begun celebrating Christian holidays, especially Christmas, with their non-Jewish neighbors. Many more had married Christians or converted to Christianity.

According to the Reich Citizenship Law and many ancillary decrees on its implementation, only people of “German or kindred blood” could be citizens of Germany. A supplementary decree published on November 14, the day the law went into force, defined who was and was not a Jew. The Nazis rejected the traditional view of Jews as members of a religious or cultural community. They claimed instead that Jews were a race defined by birth and by blood.

Despite the persistent claims of Nazi ideology, there was no scientifically valid basis to define Jews as a race. Nazi legislators looked therefore to family genealogy to define race. People with three or more grandparents born into the Jewish religious community were Jews by law. Grandparents born into a Jewish religious community were considered “racially” Jewish. Their “racial” status passed to their children and grandchildren. Under the law, Jews in Germany were not citizens but “subjects" of the state.

This legal definition of a Jew in Germany covered tens of thousands of people who did not think of themselves as Jews or who had neither religious nor cultural ties to the Jewish community. For example, it defined people who had converted to Christianity from Judaism as Jews. It also defined as Jews people born to parents or grandparents who had converted to Christianity. The law stripped them all of their German citizenship and deprived them of basic rights.

To further complicate the definitions, there were also people living in Germany who were defined under the Nuremberg Laws as neither German nor Jew, that is, people having only one or two grandparents born into the Jewish religious community. These “mixed-raced” individuals were known as Mischlinge. They enjoyed the same rights as “racial” Germans, but these rights were continuously curtailed through subsequent legislation.

iogann1982 [59]
I think the correct phrase for the answer is, dissolve the political bands. It was the political bands that tie the American people as a British colony. Thomas Jefferson clearly states the bond between the states that prohibits them from their freedom.
