History

Vlad1618 [11]4 years ago
3 0

Hobbes's version of the social contract gives absolute power to a sovereign because (D.) only the sovereign is capable of protecting people from the state of nature.

Hobbes, who was a Royalist, rejected the theory that supported the divine hereditary right of kings; however,<u> he did believe in the sovereign's unlimited power</u>. According to him, <u>only one leader was capable of protecting the state of nature, essentially characterized by war, by achieving his purpose: avoiding self-destruction and establishing peace.</u> Furthermore, unlike Locke, Hobbes believed that the social contract was non-terminable and non-renewable.

Why was the submarine such a deadly weapon
NikAS [45]

The submarine became a potentially viable weapon with the development of the Whitehead torpedo, designed in 1866 by British engineer Robert Whitehead, the first practical self-propelled or 'locomotive' torpedo.[20] The spar torpedo that had been developed earlier by the Confederate States Navy was considered to be impracticable, as it was believed to have sunk both its intended target, and probably H. L. Hunley, the submarine that deployed it. In 1878, John Philip Holland demonstrated the Holland I prototype.

Discussions between the English clergyman and inventor George Garrett and the Swedish industrialist Thorsten Nordenfelt led to the first practical steam-powered submarines, armed with torpedoes and ready for military use. The first was Nordenfelt I, a 56-tonne, 19.5-metre (64 ft) vessel similar to Garrett's ill-fated Resurgam (1879), with a range of 240 kilometres (130 nmi; 150 mi), armed with a single torpedo, in 1885.

A reliable means of propulsion for the submerged vessel was only made possible in the 1880s with the advent of the necessary electric battery technology. The first electrically powered boats were built by Isaac Peral y Caballero in Spain (who built Peral), Dupuy de Lôme (who built Gymnote) and Gustave Zédé (who built Sirène) in France, and James Franklin Waddington (who built Porpoise) in England.[21] Peral's design featured torpedoes and other systems that later became standard in submarines.[22][23]

Explain what role the present-day mass media can have on both the public and on the government.
ElenaW [278]
One unfortunate role is the spreading of misinformation. False news reports designed to get clicks are shared before people verify that what they are sharing is true. This leads to people believing false stories and even acting and voting based on this information.

Politicians in government (thought they may not believe the stories) know they must act based on this misinformation in order to secure votes from the people who believe them.
