I left these shores, at Vancouver, a red-hot imperialist. I wanted the American eagle to go screaming into the Pacific. It seeme

d tiresome and tame for it to content itself with he Rockies. Why not spread its wings over the Phillippines, I asked myself? And I thought it would be a real good thing to do
I said to myself, here are a people who have suffered for three centuries. We can make them as free as ourselves, give them a government and country of their own, put a miniature of the American constitution afloat in the Pacific, start a brand new republic to take its place among the free nations of the world. It seemed to me a great task to which had addressed ourselves.

But I have thought some more, since then, and I have read carefully the treaty of Paris, and I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Phillippines. We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem…

It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way…I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.

Mark Twain in the New York Herald, October 15, 1900

Promotion within napoleon new bureaucracy was
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

based on ability only, not rank or birth

Explanation:

Napoleon Bonaparte was a prominent military leader during the <em>"French Revolution."</em> He reformed the French "bureaucracy" under his leadership by<u> appointing the members according to their abilities and not by rank or birth</u>. This allowed the citizens to have more equal opportunities of being chosen. So, this means that <em>even the </em><em>middle class</em><em> were given the chance to be appointed. </em>

Under his leadership, a new kind of aristocracy was made. This was based on "merit in the state service." So, this gave the <u>people in the military</u> and <u>people who hold upper ranks in the civil service</u> to become part of the noble class.

So, this explains the answer.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Wealth

Explanation:

Among the listed option in this question which is not a God-given right is "Wealth."

This is evident in some of the philosophical works during the middle ages till the time when the American colonies and the French Revolution were occurring.

For example, in the Declaration of Independence, it was noted that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

And the fact that not everybody can get wealth, while everybody has inherent access to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Hence, the correct answer is "WEALTH."
