History

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Conscription is the mandatory enlistment in a country’s armed forces, and is sometimes referred to as “the draft.” The origins of military conscription date back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia, but the first modern draft occurred during the French Revolution in the 1790s. The United States instituted conscription during the Civil War, which led to a series of bloody draft riots. Resistance to the draft, as managed by the Selective Service in the United States, reached a historic peak during the Vietnam War.Before the existence of a warrior class or military elite, Babylonian kingdoms employed a system of conscription called ilkum, in which laborers owed military service to royal officials for the right to own land. Provisions for ilkum were created under the ancient Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest and most complete legal codes, instituted under Babylonian King Hammurabi.

Similar systems of military conscription were popular in feudal Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Land-owning peasants often were required to provide one man per family for military duty.

What is Iran doing to cause Donald trump to threaten there country on Twitter
hodyreva [135]

Trump’s twitter message was in response to a speech on Sunday by Mr. Rouhani, although lots is still unclear as to why Trump threatened Iran.

My. Rouhani warned that peace between the US and Iran would be the “mother of all peace,” and if a conflict were to arise between the two countries, it would be the “mother of all wars.”

This would be the most likely reason, but no one really knows the solid reasons yet.

The reason for the tweets may come out soon enough, but for now, not much is known.

Have a great day!

How did the enlightenment influence the American revolution?
Aloiza [94]

Enlightenment thinkers promoted the idea of the rights of citizens and the people's authority to create--and to change--their own governments.  The works of Enlightenment philosophers such as John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were read by leaders of the revolution movements in America.  The American Revolution sought to put those Enlightenment ideas into practice in creating a government based on liberty and justice for all.


As an example of one Enlightenment philosopher's political thoughts that influenced the American revolution, let's look at John Locke.  According to Locke's  view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em>  In his<em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers like Montesquieu and Rousseau).  The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by these ideas.
