Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Voltaire is well credited for liberating the political from the relics of mythology and religious dogmas, and affirming the factors of consciousness and scientific knowledge.

Explanation:

  • Despite the controversy of his ideas in which he equally has  places, both for the belief in the progress and the continuous development of humanity, which underlies the development of reason, and for the deciduous claims about the immutability of certain social institutions and relationships.
  • In order to relieve political and social consternation and create basic conditions for respect for natural and human rights, two solutions were available to French citizenship: the radical and the opportunistic.
  • The first would lead to the declaration of war in the Middle Ages, which had not yet come to an end, that is, the confrontation with the old regime in a revolutionary way.
  • Another solution was to penetrate the upper classes, to the nobility, without destroying the order of things. Thus emerged a type of citizen aspiring to the nobility, as he had been portrayed by Moliere in the seventeenth century.

What did we learn from the results of the ​harrisburg pennsylvanian and literary digest polls?
posledela

The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian and The Literary Digest polls were the pioneers on conducting presidential straw polls in The United States. The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian did the first vote poll in 1824, while The Literary Digest started in the year 1916.

Both newspapers are remembered not only for being the pioneers on using this specific type of polling, but also for what the results that these threw showed the population. In the case of The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian, although the results of the poll during the presidential race between Andrew Jackson and Quincy Adams were correct ( Jackson got the majority of the votes against Adams), they were not a representation of who the actual winner was going to be, as Adams became the president when the election was thrown to the House of Representatives for a lack of electoral votes.

Meanwhile, The Literary Digest got the accurate results wit the presidential polls they conducted from the year 1916 until 1932. but everything came to an end with the presidential election of 1936, where the magazine predicted that  Alfred Landon was going to defeat Franklin D Roosevelt.  

The public learned from the results that although sometimes accurate, if polls are using bad sampling techniques, they are most probably going to be inaccurate at some point. Straw polls, although commonly used to see the opinion of the masses on different matters, are not considered scientific enough to use for important affairs such an presidential race.

America had always been home to people who felt that slavery was wrong and should be eliminated. These people, called abolitionists because they wanted to abolish or destroy slavery, denounced the practice as horrible and evil. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, however, their efforts to eliminate slavery from U.S. soil failed to gather enough popular support because everyone knew how much the South depended on slaves to make its economy and society work. But in the 1830s and 1840s, organized opposition to slavery in the United States became more powerful and confrontational (meeting an issue head-on) than it had ever been before. Describing slavery as an evil and un-Christian system and a stain on the values enshrined in America's Declaration of Independence, the abolitionists finally convinced large numbers of Northerners that slavery should not continue. This development angered and frightened white Southerners, who recognized that the abolitionist movement was a serious threat to the society that they had built for themselves.HOPE THIS HELPED!
