Expressing Problems Clearly Explain the balance between police power and individual rights.

History

Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
6 0

In every society, the government needs to have what are called police powers.  What this means is that the governments need to have the right to uphold the laws.  Governments need to have this ability so that they can protect their citizens from others who would seek to prey on them.  Without police powers, for example, there is no one to protect us from being murdered or robbed, or otherwise harmed.

The problem is that the government can take away our rights in the process of trying to protect us.  For example, let us imagine that the government is worried about drug use.  It therefore declares that it has the right to test any person for drug use at any time.  It also declares that it has the right to search anyone’s house at any time for evidence of drug manufacture, sale, or use.  This would be great for law and order because it would make it much harder to get away with drug crimes, but it would be terrible for our rights.

How did geography influence life and government on the Greek peninsula
guajiro [1.7K]

High mountains and access to water (the sea, not rivers) meant that navies were critical for war and trade.  This also meant that the different city states of Ancient Greece were physically separated from each other.  This allowed each culture to have similarities (like language and religion), but also significant differences like the Spartan vs. Athens systems.  This also led to a particular type of farming and a limited ability to fight in open plains.  Hence the Hoplite system with phalanxes became dominant.

How did the treaty of versailles differ from the fourteen points?
ss7ja [257]
Treaty of Versailles: 
- Called for harsh punishment of Germany
- Called for Germany's demilitarization
- Called for Germany to lose it's colonies

Fourteen Points: 
- Called for military to reduce size
- Called for alliances to be made known to the public
- Called for leniency on Germany 
- Called for free trade among the nations 

The most important difference is that the Fourteen Points called for leniency on Germany, while the Treaty of Versailles called for more harsh punishments on Germany.
