When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no lib

erty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner. –Baron de Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws, 1748 According to Montesquieu, what would happen in an absolute monarchy? Laws could not be enacted. Citizens could lose their freedom. Tyranny would be avoided. Powers would be limited.

The correct answer is B. Citizens could lose their freedom

Explanation:

Absolute monarchy implies the monarch has unlimited or unrestricted power, which often leads to citizens' oppression and tyranny because there are no organizations or branches of government that can protect citizens. This idea is explained by Montesquieu as he states united powers exerted by the same person lead to apprehensions and lack of liberty "there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise". Moreover, Montesquieu explains an absolute monarch would create and enact tyrannical laws according to his interests "should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner." In this context, one of the consequences of this government is the loss of freedom (option B).

valentinak56 [21]

Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

<h3>What is an oxymoron?</h3>

It is a figure of speech in which two seemingly incompatible terms are used together.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" fits the definition of an oxymoron, according to this definition.

<h3>What are paradoxes?</h3>

It is akin to an oxymoron, except it usually involves a series of logically incongruous claims that, depending on the circumstances, may or may not be true.

e.g "Everything I say is a lie", Barber  "A male barber only shaves the males who don't shave. Everything I say is a lie. Does he shave?"

As we can see, there are just assertions that might contradict one another rather than phrases or words that are contradictory.
