“In every free government, the people must give their assent to the laws by which they are governed. This is the true criterion

between a free government and an arbitrary one. The former are ruled by the will of the whole, expressed in any manner they may agree upon; the latter by the will of one, or a few. If the people are to give their assent to the laws, by persons chosen and appointed by them, the manner of the choice and the number chosen, must be such, as to possess, be disposed, and consequently qualified to declare the sentiments of the people; for if they do not know, or are not disposed to speak the sentiments of the people, the people do not govern, but the sovereignty is in a few. Now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people, without having it so numerous and unwieldy, as to be subject in great measure to the inconveniency of a democratic government….”

The 1755 earthquake in Lisbon was a prominent event in Voltaire’s Candide.
lawyer [7]
Voltaire thought the earthquake had a very different lesson, namely that nature can be capricious and does not respect human life. If there were to be a happier, more prosperous, and more just world, it would have to be one created by human activity.

The earthquake in Candide is based on a real earthquake that leveled the city of Lisbon in 1755. Before writing Candide, Voltaire wrote a long poem about that event, which he interpreted as a sign of God's indifference or even cruelty toward humanity.

Why did Quanah Parker and his fighters lose so many men to so few hunters in the attack on Adobe Walls?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: Overconfidence

Explanation:

Before the attack on Adobe Walls, Quanah Parker and the other Indian attacker took part in a sun dance where a Comanche medicine man proclaimed that he had a vision where the Natives would win. He also said that bullets would not work on them.

This gave the Natives such confidence that they attacked the hunters so brazenly leading to many losses on their part. The Comanche eventually retreated on the sixth day after Quanah was injured.
