History

By the time Mehmed became Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire (1451), the Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople itself, the Peloponnese, and a handful of Aegean islands. The Ottomans had had control of the territory surrounding Constantinople for decades. Mehmed fortified both sides of the Golden Horn, and would eventually lay siege to Constantinople.

Those fortifications were largely there to block reinforcements from the Black Sea, namely the Genoese in the area. In response, the Byzantines stretched a chain across the Golden Horn to keep the Ottomans from using their naval superiority to assault a section of the walls.

Some Christian reinforcements managed to get past the blockade, and Mehmed decided to make up for his navy’s failures by rolling his ships on greased logs overland, then putting them back in the water behind the chain. This rendered the Byzantines chain useless, spread their troops to defend all of the city’s walls, and made the siege much easier on the Ottomans.

Do government have the right to on the termination of life of undesirable people their citizens​
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

No government has any rights not granted to it by the governed. It may have the power but it would be pretty darn foolish for the people to grant it that power. The people on the other hand have the right to decide on the termination of an undesirable government and or its officials. A sane modern liberal government will have an established procedure for doing this in an orderly, non violent fashion.
