What do the words absolute Despotism mean as they are used in paragraph 2? (Declaration of Independence)

English
1 answer:
oee [108]4 years ago
4 0

The words absolute Depotism in paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence refer to complete and cruel domination.  The word absolute Despotism describes leadership by a government that is completely free from constitutional or democratic controls on its power. In the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence the writer Thomas Jefferson first describes how a government should not be rejected for "light and transient causes"; he recognizes that small or temporary problems are not enough for a change of government. However, he continues to state that when there is "a long train of abuses and usurpations" then the people are right and even have a duty to declare their independence.

How does the structure of this Italian sonnet by Petrarch support its theme?
Gnom [1K]
The Italian sonnet was mostly used by Petrarch, and it has a specific structure. It contains 14 lines, separated into one octave (a stanza of 8 lines), and one sestet (a stanza of 6 lines). 

When it comes to the relation between the structure and the theme, this means that the octave introduces the idea of love within the sonnet. The poet talks about his beloved and gives us an insight into his feelings. On the other hand, the sestet analyzes his own emotions and explains in further detail why he is so infatuated with the woman (in Petrarch's case, he always wrote about Laura).
