History
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]2 years ago
5 0

Common Sense was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia, nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic. Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people, often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a nerve in the American countryside.

What were socrates most basic philosophical principles
givi [52]
Sorry this is so long

Socrates 4 philosophical principles-

1) The unexamined life is not worth living. In other words, it is undignified, not really honorable, simply to live from day to day without ever asking oneself "What am I doing here? Why am I living as I am?" To be truly and completely human, Socrates thought, each man and woman must subject his or her life and convictions to the test of critical self-examination. What is more, my means of this process of self-examination, one can achieve genuine happiness.

2) There really are valid principles of thought and action that must be followed if we are to live good lives - if we are to be, at the same time, genuinely happy and genuinely good. These principles are objective - they are true for all men and women, whenever and wherever they may live. Some people are unjust, self-indulgent, obsessed with worthless goals, estranged from their fellow men and women, confused and blind about what is truly important. These people do not know that certain things are beneath notice, unimportant. They are terrified of shadows, incapable of living or dying with grace. Such people need to find the truth and live in accordance with it.

3) The truth lies within each of us, not in the stars, nor in tradition, or in religious books, or in the opinions of the masses. Each of us has within, however hidden, the true principles of thinking and acting. In the end, therefore, no one can teach anyone else the truth about life. If that truth were not within you, you would never find it; but it is within you, and only relentless critical self-examination will reveal it to you.

4) Although no one can teach anyone else about the fundamental principles of right action and clear thinking, some people-call them teachers, philosophers, godforsaken ask questions that prod men and women to begin the task of . These teachers may also be able to guide the process, at least in its early stages, because they have been over the same ground themselves and know where the pitfalls are.

What consequences should there be for the countries who start and loose a war
ycow [4]

Answer:

In old times, the consequences would range from complete destruction of the cities to enslaving the entire population. Nowadays, it is common for the country that lost to pay war reparations, give back any territory that it took, and change the government, all while prosecuting the people who initiated the war.

What was Herbert Hoover's response
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was under the impression that the stock market crash of 1929 was a simple market correction, that it would go away if everybody just acted like everything was normal, and that markets simply do these things from time to time. Billboards circa 1930 with the blurb "Wasn't the depression terrible?" kind of summed up his tone-deaf approach to massive unemployment and runs on banks. He honestly believed that government intervention was not the answer.

By the time Roosevelt took office in 1933, he understood that no quick solutions were to be had. He did start a lot of public works projects, like the Works Projects Administration (which gave a lot of people short-term employment teaching, painting post office murals, and cleaning up public lands) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (which put a lot of broke farmers to work putting a utilities infrastructure in place in parts of the South, putting the pieces of a post-agricultural economy in place).

He also instituted several "bank holidays" to discourage panic-driven depositors from taking all their money out of their banks. Austerity became the new normal in America and stayed that way until the US entered World War II.
