guapka [62]

<em>A. A measure that allowed the U.S. government to intervene in Cuban affairs.</em>

Explanation:

How did Alexander gain control of all of Greece??????
TiliK225 [7]

Alexander The Great as he was known, was and excellent, sophisticated military leader considered by many historians as a genius.  Thanks to his greatness, Alexander the Great was able to practically changed the nature of the ancient world by himself in less than 10 years.

When he was in front of his armies he commanded them by example. The fact that he considered himself to be indestructible made him gamble, and  take extreme risks with his own life as well as the soldiers he lead.  

He was born in July of 356 BC in  the city of Pella which was the capital of Macedonia at the time. Also and most importantly,  he was educated by the great philosopher  Aristotle. After his father assassination Philip II in 336 BC, young Alexander took control of the kingdom his father left. Unfortunately, the kingdom was in a very precarious and volatile situation which he quickly was able to put under control by defeating all of those who opposed him at home. Later, he went on to conquer and control the entire Persian Empire.

Thanks to all of these attributes of courage, ingenuity and self confidence,   Alexander the Great was able to control and maintain a firm grip on Greece and the whole Persian Empire.

Using the Internet, find one image that represents the views of government of Aristotle, one image that represents the views of
krok68 [10]
I'll give you some thoughts on the political views of the thinkers named. It's up to you to search for images and write your descriptions.

Aristotle believed there were three valid types of government, depending on the size and scope of what was to be governed or upon local situations. (He studied the constitutions of various governments as part of his work in writing <em />his work, <em>Politics.</em>)  As state with a sole ruler ruling rightly is a monarchy.  If that form of state is abused, it becomes tyranny.  A state with a number of members of the ruling class is an aristocracy -- rule by the excellent ones, noble men suited for governing.  If it is corrupted by having a few rule but not of noble character or in a noble way, Aristotle referred to that as an oligarchy (rule by a few).  A state in which all worthy men participate in governing Aristotle termed a polity, a constitutional government.  He saw it as a corruption, though, to have a full democracy (rule by the people), which would become the sort of thing we call mob rule.

Aquinas picked up thoughts from Aristotle, who had favored a monarchy.  Aquinas, writing from a Christian perspective, wrote about the righteous and proper sort of ruler who would serve as God's appointed leader among the people, truly caring for them (not becoming a tyrant).

Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx were partners in establishing communism as a political ideology.  Engels and Marx believed that in time, class struggles between overlords and those beneath them would give way to a society in which all ruled and lived and worked collectively.
