Identify one way in which the passage reflects on philosophical debate inthe late 18th or early 19th centuries.

History

According to a different source, the question refers to the following passage from the Letters from Abigail Adams to John Adams:

<em>"How shall we be governed, so as to retain our liberties? Can any government be free, which is not administered by general stated laws? Who shall frame these laws? Who will give them force and energy? It is true, your resolutions, as a body, have hitherto had the force of laws; but will they continue to have?"</em>

One way in which this passage reflects on the philosophical debate in the late 18th and early 19th centuries is by discussing the subject of political rights. In this passage, the speaker wonders what gives laws its power. She seems to think that the power of the laws comes from the power of people, who hold sovereignty and should be able to decide who can rule them and how their rights should be protected. This was a common idea during these centuries, and one that was strongly opposed to the dominant systems of government.

What if there had been no Ancient Greek Civilization how would history be
Charra [1.4K]

If there had been no Ancient Greek civilization we'd be behind in literature, art, technology, science and much more. The Greek gave the world new ideas and an individual right in self government. The world right now would probably be in the 1619 A.D not 2019 A.D.

The Greek word that means “rule by the people” is
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

The meaning of democracy – from the Greek word – demokratia – is “rule by the people”. As a system of government, it is now almost universally commended. To describe a country, or a policy, as “undemocratic” is to criticise it and those countries that are undemocratic are continually urged towards reform.

Yet, democracy is a complex and contested notion. Moreover, until relatively recently, the idea of rule by the people was as much (if not more) feared as loved. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato, for example, related democracy to the rule of unbridled and untutored passions over cool and reflective reason. Invoking a now common image of the ship of state, Plato asks whether a real ship in stormy waters is sensibly governed by a trained captain who has knowledge of seamanship and navigation or by the crew who have no specialist training. This seems a good question, and although such views are no longer part of the currency of intellectual thought, democrats continue to worry about the role of civic education, for example, in moulding a population so that its members do not just rule, but rule by informed decision making.
