Answer:

General Sani Abacha rose to power in Nigeria through the use of military force, overturning the country’s elections, and taking power after a period of governmental corruption and instability. Abacha maintained his rule with force backed up by militia, stealing over 3$ billion by the time he died in 1998, returning the country to civilian rule.

In Cambodia, and underground communist movement amassed power before launching an armed rebellion against Cambodia’s current government. After a civil war, the Khmer Rouge and its leader Saloth Sar, who adopted the pseudonym Pol Pot, marched into the nation’s capital, declaring their power. The Khmer Rouge maintained their power by executing intellectuals, teachers, merchants, and anyone in opposition to them. Money, private property, and religion were also abolished to form a communist agrarian society in which many more starved. This movement ended in 1998 with the death of Pol Pot.

Haiti's first dictator, François Duvalier, was able to rise to power after becoming minister of public health and being endeared by the country's people. After being elected prime minister, "Papa Doc," a name given to him by the peasant population, became a ruthless dictator. Duvalier maintained his power by suppressing the current Haitian military and forming his own parliamentary forces which terrorized the population. Before his death in 1971, Duvalier declared himself to be president for life and named his son to be his successor.

I think that if more people resisted there would be a lot more people who were slaughtered, if they slaughtered that many Jews they wouldent have stop if there were a different group of people resisting. I think one of the main factors was that the groups they were killing weren't blond haired, and blue eyed.

2. The Declaration of Independence says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." The American
defon

Based on the Declaration of Independence and on the words of Isaiah Berlin, I can say that I agree that both statements “constitute the irreducible minimum of the ideal of equality”. On the first statement from the Declaration of Independence, we can see that when it says “all men are created equal” it is including minorities groups that are usually discriminated against due to race, gender or nationality. Basically, it states that all people are equal and should not be discriminated on the basis of race, gender or nationality.  

On the second statement by philosopher Berlin, the focus is not only on the fact that one man should count as one but also it highlights that no men should be counted as more than one. Here, Berlin wants to indicate that of you are rich and powerful; you are still only one person and cannot be thought of as more worthy than the rest.

To sum up both concepts mention that all men are created equal, the first one focusing on no discrimination against minority groups; and the second one focusing on no power abuse.
