Answer:

"Dred Scott Decision," which was very controversial.

Explanation:

DRED SCOTT DECISION where the Supreme Court ruling stated slaves did not have a right to sue since they were not citizens, but merely property.

These were their arguments.

Dred Scott:

When a person enters a free State or territory, the free status overrides the previous condition of servitude. Since slavery was forbidden in the free States and territories by

federal and State laws, Dred Scott became free when he entered Illinois and Wisconsin.

Sandford:

To deprive a person of property (in this case, Dred Scott) without due process or just compensation violated the 5th Amendment, which states that “No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Dred Scott was still a slave and no master's property rights could be limited or taken away by a State or federal law.

Describe the agriculture of Greece. A Due to poor soil quality, Greece is forced to import many staple foods as well as livestoc
Anit [1.1K]

The correct answer is A.

Greece has a low amount of precipitation and, as a result of that, the agricultural sector suffers from a lack of many natural resources. Also, it is important to say that its rural land ownership system, and the emigration of the rural community into urban areas or abroad are factors that hold back the growth of the agricultural sector are also a big problem for Greece's agriculture.

How does Mill describe the basic moral standard of utilitarianism?
Ilya [14]

For the individual to know how to discern the good from the bad deeds, that is, so that he can duly justify his choices, it is necessary to find a general criterion of morality. This criterion is presented by Stuart Mill as follows: <em>"The creed that accepts utility , or Principle of Greater Happiness, as the foundation of morality, argues that actions are right insofar as they tend to promote happiness, and wrong insofar as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. and the absence of pain; unhappily, pain and deprivation of pleasure." </em>

It is according to this criterion that any useful action becomes legitimate. However, the happiness achieved does not make the utilitarian moral criterion a criterion that fosters selfishness.

Spiritual pleasures are what, according to Mill, provide true happiness. Indeed, utilitarian morality does not exclude altruism and dedication to the other.

According to utilitarian ethics, the principle of greatest happiness establishes that the actions taken must be capable of bringing maximum happiness to the greatest possible number of individuals. Now, maximum happiness for all (humanity) appears as the main objective of utilitarian philosophy.
