The deep religiousness of the first groups of colonists in North America, such as the Puritans, in what would become today's United States always upheld the belief that these American colonists, later on U.S. citizens, would achieve greatness by the grace of God. This notion remained vague until 1845 when journalist John L. O'Sullivan called it Manifest Destiny, in order to justify the expansion of the U.S. to the Pacific Ocean coast.

How does the archon of ancient Greece relate to our government today?

kykrilka [37]

The principal magistrates in the Ancient Greece were the 9 archons, who formed a corps of 10 with the secretary of the tesmótetas. The principal archons were:

- The chief or eponymous archon: he was the visible head of the State and gave his name to the year. With executive functions within the civil life of the city, it was the highest authority unless it was at war or extraordinary situation. He presided over and organized the great Dionysians and had some judicial duties: he is responsible for judicial processes.

- The archon king (basileus): was the main religious official of the state and judicially understood in religious causes. Heir to the rituals of the kings, he is in charge of the Mysteries, of the public sacrifices in general, of the processions, of the January Dionysians. He is the president of the Areopagus.

- Archon polemarco: he was no longer military leader, but he understood in the judicial cases of non-citizens. The Polemarco organizes civic ceremonies in relation to the army.

- The 6 archbishops tesmótetas: they were in charge of judicial and legal functions. They were the magistrates in charge of transcribing and guarding the sentences issued by the judges. The six tesmotetas (or depositaries of the institutions) instruct the rest of the causes and lawsuits. In the fourth century they revise and coordinate annually the set of the legislated.

Lately there are many people that criticize the current form of democracy (government of the people) that is practiced in most of the Western countries, since it is very easy to become a demagogy. In a demagogy we seek to direct the people through propaganda and discourse, that is, to convince ourselves of what is best for us through words. The thing is that we do not have fallen into a demagogy at this time, but it is true that in our democracy there is a lot of demagogy. A lot is said and little is done, and when someone does something (some of those who rule) he is criticized for it.

The Greek philosopher Plato said that it is very easy for democracy to derive towards a demagogy, practically as easy as monarchy derives towards a tyranny. To avoid the deformations of the forms of government, he proposed a new form based on the education and training of the leaders, seeking to create a political class whose work and purpose in life was "to command" and for which they had been prepared for decades.

Step 1: Study the list of nine images at the bottom of the screen and select five that represent what you believe were the great

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Image 1: Fall of Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany, and marked the fall of communism. This event is probably the most important event in the fall of communism, and was a result of years of hard work from many different countries and uprisings.

Image 2: 1956 Hungarian Uprising

The Hungarian Uprising was a revolution against the policies enforced by the USSR. This uprising played a part in starting a series of revolutions that occurred during 1989.

Image 3: Prague Spring

Prague Spring was also a mass protest in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. This lasted around six months before the Soviet Union invaded. This was also one more spark to light the fire of the revolutions of 1989.

Image 4: Romanian Revolution

The Romanian Revolution was a revolution during 1989 that was brought about as a result of years of unrest against the communist party. If the 1956 Hungarian Uprising or the Prague Spring didn’t happen, the Romanian Revolution most likely wouldn’t have either.

Image 5: Velvet Revolution

While the Velvet Revolution was a peaceful revolution, and wasn’t a major part in starting the fall of communism. However, it was rather the effect of the other uprisings that happened against communism.

Summary:

These events are ordered by most important at the top, to least important at the bottom. The fall of the Berlin Wall is marked first, as this moment is known as the moment when Communism failed. The 1956 Hungarian Uprising is marked second because while this moment isn’t as famous as the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was the first uprising against the USSR, and against communism. This uprising inspired many other uprisings and revolutions to occur against communism. Prague Spring is marked third for many of the same reasons, and while it did inspire other uprisings and revolutions to occur, it wasn’t the first, or the last to happen. The Romanian Revolution is marked fourth, and was a result of the previous uprisings. This was the first violent revolution of 1989, but not the last. The velvet revolution is ranked last, as it was a revolution during 1989, but was a peaceful one. In conclusion, the list is ranked 4-5 as what/who inspired who, and number one is ranked as most famous.
