Answer:

The anecdote within his essay of the preaching slave adds to his argument, it does not detract.

This example is the baseline and inspiration of Twain's argument. Although he does not fully agree, it is where his idea was imprinted which adds to the argument that all opinions are unoriginal and inspired.

Twain carries the idea that men are made up of society's thoughts and opinions. Twain feels that everyone will accept public opinions only for the satisfaction of one's "self approval". Twain expresses to the reader that we all in a sense of sacrifice our own uniqueness to be accepted by society. Corn Pone Opinions are a group of belief with which we each join as an impulsive mode to fit in, as Twain says " the instinct that moves to conformity did the work. It is in our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist; what is it's seat, the inborn requirements of self approval"

Hope this helps.

How did marbury v madison establish judicial review?
babymother [125]

Marbury v. Madison strengthened the federal judiciary by establishing for it the power of judicial review, by which the federal courts could declare legislation, as well as executive and administrative actions, inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution (“unconstitutional”) and therefore null and void.

Some of the major punishments for Germany were 1) Loss of 10% of total land 2) Loss of all overseas colonies 3) Demilitarization
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

see below *ALSO SPELL CHECK PLEASE GRAMMERLY ISNT WORKING FOR SOME REASON*

Explanation:

In the persepctive of the German people, the post-war punishment that would be percieved as the "harshest" or "most upsetting" was most likely punishment 1,4 and 5, and the ones that were probably viewed as the "east harsh" or insignificant to the German people was punishment 8. The reason that I assume that the harshest, most significant, and most upsetting punishment(s) were 1,4, and 5 is because these are the punishments that effected the german people <em>directly. </em>The loss of land probably led to relocation and people losing homes, property, etc. The fact that Germany has to take the blame for the war led to racism and prosecution of the German people, many of which had nothing to do with the war and wanted it to end as much as everyone else. And, lastly, punishment 5 was one of the most upsetting because the debt that Germany went into (-33 billion dollars!) will no doubt have caused inflammation of prices, poverty, and lack of resources due to low government funding, which would have effected the people the most, especially those who depended on government help and were not doing well financially to begin with. The punishment that was probably the least significant to the German people was 8, "force all military leaders, including Kaiser Wilhelm II to face trials for war crimes". This is because the people did not have a direct relation with any of these leaders, so it does not concern them as much as punishments like 1,4 and 5 did.
