Identify one difference between the government of the United States and that of the United Kingdom.

History
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
3 0

The United States is officially a representative democracy, although the United Kingdom is a monarchy. In fact, that implies that the US has an elected head of state (the president) with actual authority, whereas the UK has an appointed ruler (the king or queen), who has practically little control but a lot of meaning.

In this passage, Hobbes discusses the nature of the government that people create with their social contract.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<h2>be completely powerful</h2>

<u>Further details:</u>

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).   Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' <em>Leviathan</em> book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself.  Hobbes wrote:

  • <em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.</em>

What was the main reason the Philadelphia convention rejected Hamilton’s plans
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3<em>) The plan resembled the British system of government</em>

Explanation:

The Philadelphia Convention is seen as one of the most important events in US history. By the end of the convention, all 13 colonies had agreed to a Constitution that would set the basis for the young country.

However, the convention is a long process with delegates from all over the country presenting their own vision and plans for how the country should run.

Alexander Hamilton's plan was based on a strong federal government and a lower and upper house. Lower house would be elected directly by the people, while the upper house would be composed of officials chosen by the elected members.

The plan was quickly dubbed as the "British Plan'' since it closely resembled the governance system of Great Britain. It was soon rejected by the convention on these basis.
