What are the most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom?

English

Snowcat [4.5K]4 years ago

Answer:

There could be a number of answers to your question, as it is the sort of question calling for an essay in which you state a thesis and defend it. 

A possible thesis would be that the most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom are effective legislatures and a fair and strongly functioning system of courts. 

Without effective legislatures (on the state and national level), laws and governance bog down and the rights and freedoms of citizens can be eroded by special interests or powerful individuals and groups. Without courts functioning fairly and firmly to uphold laws that protect citizens' civil rights and liberties, the freedom of all citizens can be compromised by those who have greater advantages of wealth or position. 

For another possible thesis, I would. point you to thoughts from Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work from the 1830s, Democracy in America. Tocqueville put great stress upon the direct involvement of all citizens in the democratic functioning of society, through things like service on juries in the court system and by their regular association with one another in civic groups. Tocqueville urged that in a democracy, individual citizens need to learn to unite in association with one another to work as a group to protect their freedoms against the encroachment of tyranny. Tocqueville said that the most democratic country on earth is, above all, where individuals have "most perfected the art of pursuing the object of their common desires in common." He thought there is a "necessary relation between associations and equality."

The direct object is the thing that the subject acts upon, so in that last sentence, “cereal” is the direct object; it's the thing Jake ate. An indirect object is an optional part of a sentence; it's the recipient of an action.

Matching Techniques Used in Satire
arlik [135]

Answer:

Each text example is matched to the different techniques below:

  • He snores louder than a cargo train

       Exaggeration/Hyerbole

  • What must you do before you get off a bus? Get on it.

        Humor

  • The sign says to keep off the grass, but there is only dirt in the lot

        Irony.

Explanation:

Exaggeration/Hyperbole: This is an obvious over-amplification of claims or events for added effect. It is usually not taken literally. This is used to pass across a message to show the severity or consequence of something.

An example is " I was so hungry, i could swallow a horse".

This does not mean that the person can literally swallow a horse but just to show the extent of the hunger.

Humor: Humor is the quality of being comical or amusing usually to elicit laughter.

The example above, "What must you do before you get off a bus> Get on it".

This uses humor to show that one must first be on a bus before he can think of getting off and the question is constructed in a funny way.

Irony: This is the expression of one's feelings through the use of words that signify the opposite of what is really meant, usually for emphasis.
