1 answer:

3 0

Bernstein was critical of Marx and Engels’s analysis of capitalism because their predictions did not come true. He noted capitalism was not hurtling to the final crisis as Marx had predicted. He further pointed out that the working class was improving its material position contradictory to Marx's predictions. Bernstein concluded that Marx was wrong in important respects, and awarded himself the task of bringing the doctrine up to date. He felt that Marx and Engels stressed too much on the role of force in history where they overlooked the possibility of the gradual growth of capitalism into socialism.

Confucianism is a set of philosophical beliefs in how to live that emphasizes family and social harmony. It is at its core humanistic and not spiritual. One of its core beliefs is that people are generally good and that they can be taught and improved through personal and communal endeavors. Basically, people should be willing to get along with each other with a minimum of conflict. With that in mind, let's look at the options. A. To have a stable kingdom, rulers must be toughened warriors who rule absolutely. * FALSE. This is in direct conflict with the precepts of Confucianism. Instead of getting along with each other, people have to be forced to act properly. So don't pick this. B. Families set an example for all of china to follow. * TRUE. Everyone is a member of an extended family and should be willing to deal with each other as they are. C. Family obligations are important. * TRUE. Obligations to others need to be fulfilled. And family obligations are the most important of all. D. The key to good behavior and good government is concern for others. * TRUE. If you're concerned about others more than yourself, then your actions will automatically be for the greater good of society. E. Laws are the basis of an orderly society. * FALSE. There should be no need to creating laws upon more laws if everyone is already working towards the greater good. Laws are more useful for indicating to people without a moral foundation as to actions they should or should not take. But if you have a solid moral foundation, laws are superfluous.

Answer:

Numerous Federalists opposed the war because many of these men earned their living through trade. The conflict hampered the Federalists' ability to exchange with England. Tensions increased so much so that by 1814, some Federalists in New England threatened to secede from the United States to form their own country unless the American government immediately sought peace. With the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 and the end of the War of 1812, many Americans viewed the Federalists as traitors. The Federalist Party collapsed, leaving the Democratic-Republican Party as the only political party in the United States until the mid-1820s.
