Answer: Japan and the United States will be allies
Explanation:
The Treaty had the purpouse of opening up Japan to American commerce, ending the japanesse policy of isolation which it had managed to mantain for 220 years. It further encouraged peace and cooperation between the two nations in the future and though it achieved the short term objective of opening up Japan to foreign trade, the japaneese saw it as a weakness since they were forced to sign it to avoid military conflict. The subsequent treaties with the west had the effect of debilitating the already weak position of the Shogun, empowering the Emperor and leading to the rearmament and modernization of Japan.
The answer is D. Because Communism is the polar opposite of what America is built on.
These two are correct:
- All men have natural rights.
- The purpose of government is to protect natural rights.
Explanation:
The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large. Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society. John Locke and other Enlightenment era thinkers wrote with strong conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.
The Declaration of Independence states these Enlightenment views on natural rights in this way:
- <em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</em>
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen opens with this assertion:
- <em>The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties.</em>
