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

English
1 answer:
oee [108]3 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.

Hope is the thing with feathers
Bingel [31]

Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.

She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.

Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.

Notice her use of form and paradox in referring to hope as a thing with feathers, something that never asks for anything in return.
