Can a central government be compared to tyranny?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Nearly 2,400 years ago, the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle explored political philosophy. Aristotle concluded that “it is evident that the form of government is best in which every man, whoever he is, can act best and live happily.”

In Philadelphia some 2,000 years after Plato and Aristotle’s time, a group of men was trying to write a constitution. George Washington, James Madison, and the other framers of the Constitution were dedicated to constructing a just government. Americans had overthrown what they considered a tyrannous British government. The framers wanted to create a national government free of tyranny, governed by the rule of law.

The new American nation was quite different from the ancient Greek city-states. Still, many of the framers at Philadelphia had studied and understood Plato’s and Aristotle’s political philosophies. And they were grappling with many of the same political questions.

Explanation:

Initially, the Iroquois Confederacy comprised of 5 independent states. Before the 1500s, the five Iroquois nations dedicated a lot of resources to battling and harming each other. The cost of the war was heavy and their economies were destroyed. The Great Peacemaker thought how the things between them could be made better and to promote peace among the nations. They moved to each of the five nations to discuss their ideas of unity and peace. This idea eas discussed by the founding father of the U.S and in 1988, the U.S senate paid tribute to Iroquois Confederacy for the inspiration.
