Answer: As Jefferson writes, the entire purpose of government is to protect the preexisting natural rights of individuals. Governments are not founded in order to create new rights and arbitrarily dispense benefits upon preferred groups, but to secure rights that existed before governments were ever created.

Jefferson would note that the purpose of government was to protect the “inalienable rights” that man received from “their Creator.” In his view, if government became Page 2 2 “destructive,” it was the right of the citizens to “alter or abolish” that form of government and replace it with a better one.

Which factor led to the economic division described by henry george?
asambeis [7]
The correct answer is rapid industrialization

Those who had the wealth to enter the business got even more wealthy because they could exploit a system that wasn't yet monitored or regulated because it was new.

How do you believe the japanese justified their imperialism in korea taiwan and china
sveticcg [70]

The Japanese justified their imperialism in multiple different ways, depending on what territory is in question.

For China, there was a fake attack on Japanese property, performed by the Japanese themselves, so they invaded Manchuria with the justification that their citizens were in danger.

Korea and Taiwan were justified in the sense that some countries had colonies which they used for resources and as market for their products, so the Japanese justified it in the manner that they also deserve to have such territories.

For some territories they conquered there was no real justification though, and the Japanese didn't really bothered with making excuses anymore.
