Was augustus a tyrant or visionary?

History
1 answer:
Nadya [2.5K]3 years ago

Answer:He was both, of course.

Explanation:He made Rome into the Empire it probably needed to be to continue to exist; the endless civil wars of the decades previous had not truly weakened the Republic’s borders, but they had resulted in Rome splitting into factions and substates repeatedly, and eventually if left unchecked this would have likely become permanent: there would have been several “Roman” states all bickering over the corpse of the Republic. So Augustus stabilized that situation, and created a system that would last well enough to endure the later civil wars, if barely, and last for five centuries.

But he also ruled completely and while following the forms of the Republic left no substance to them. Further, he made people enjoy that he was doing it, coercing and co-opting them into buying in to his new system. A long reign and massive personal will made this possible, but resulted in the end of much of what Rome had built up over the Republic. The idea that the Senate and People ruled the Empire persisted as a concept, given lip service, but it never re-emerged, and this was due to Augustus.

Tyrant and visionary, savior and destroyer, he was all of those things and much more.

Please help this is due in 15 minutes. Does the line of presidential succession
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The presidential line of succession is a lengthy list. The start of the list reads:

  1. Vice President
  2. Speaker of the House of Representatives
  3. President pro tempore of the Senate
  4. Secretary of State

and that's the order in which the succession happens. There are many others waiting in line behind the Secretary of State. I chose not to list them because it would make this post way too lengthy.

This list makes sense because it's listing senior members in politics, and those members are part of the political process. On the other hand, members like the Speaker of the House, or president pro tempore of the senate don't really make much sense here. These members may be of a different political party of the president and could contradict the president's goals.

In my opinion, it's best to list out the cabinet members after the vice president. The secretary of state seems like a good cabinet member to start with, then secretary of defense is the next best in line. These two positions deal with foreign affairs which is a handy thing to have in time of crisis. The secretary of treasury is also a good consideration as well since many crises involve money in some way.

When is challenging a government justifiable?
Masteriza [31]

in some instances, your adversary is not a business competitor or other private entity, but the government itself. These are often challenging cases, as the government has many immunities, exemptions and other unfair advantages in its favor. Moreover, unfortunately, many courts are inclined to favor the government in legal disputes. Part of the reason for that is that many litigants challenge state and local government entities every day, but do so with poor advocacy that doesn’t effectively present their case.
