What do the words "absolute despotism" mean as they are used in paragraph 2 of the declaration of Independence?

History
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
3 0

The term "absolute despotism" refers to the actions of a government that is failing to protect the rights of citizens. This type of government is extremely controlling and does not consider the rights/needs of the individual. This is evident from the sentence that this phrase is used in, as the Declaration of Independence states that

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,..."

This line shows that this is a direct reference to the abuses of government power over their respective citizens.

Why is everyone in the village needed to help harvest the saffron?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

In the context of trade, saffron is one of the world's most expensive spices by weight. Saffron consists of stigmas plucked from the vegetatively propagated and sterile Crocus sativus, known popularly as the saffron crocus. The resulting dried "threads are distinguished by their bitter taste, hay-like fragrance, and slight metallic notes. The saffron crocus is unknown in the wild; its most likely precursor, Crocus cartwrightianus, originated in Crete or Central Asia The saffron crocus is native to Southwest Asia, and was first cultivated in the area now known as Greece.

"Saffron, for example, was once less regarded than it is today because the crocus from which it is extracted was not particularly mysterious. It flourished in European locations extending from Asia Minor, where it originated, to Saffron Walden in England, where it was naturalised. Only subsequently, when its labour-intensive cultivation became largely centred in Kashmir, did it seem sufficiently exotic to qualify as one of the most precious of spices.

Absolute monarchy is most similar to which other system of government
GalinKa [24]

Answer

The correct answer is option C.

Absolute monarchy is most similar to the Dictatorship form of the government.

Explanation

Absolute monarchy is referred to the monarchial form of government in which the monarch exercises the supreme powers to head and govern the state in the manner in which one wants.  A dictator in a much similar manner like the monarch exercise powers and authorities to control the state in an unfettered manner which is not challenged by the law and the Constitution of the country.

Further Explanation

The authority of both monarch and dictator cannot be challenged by the law and the constitution of the country. Thus the similarity between the monarchic and dictatorial form of government lies on the fact that an individual exercises an absolute control of the country and they are unaccountable for their rule and the policies.  

The difference however lies on the fact that in the monarchy form of government the powers are transferred and inherited mainly among the members of the country. On the other hand a dictator assumes the control and rule of the people by power and force and it is further maintained by terror, suppression or intimidation to keep them unchallenged.  

Further all the remaining options vest some amount of control and powers in the hands of the people of the country which does not seems to happen in the rule of an absolute monarchy or a dictator.
