“I admit that the punishments of the slaves on Barbados for all sorts of offenses are indeed very cruel, but one must consider b

efore condemning the [White] inhabitants that they often have no choice but to set moderation aside and use punishment as a way to intimidate their slaves. The Whites need to impress fear and respect upon their slaves in order not to one day find themselves the victims of their fury. Unless the slaves are kept in a constant state of fear of punishment, they would always be ready to revolt, to take over everything, and to commit the most horrible crimes in order to liberate themselves. Which of the following best describes the author’s argument in the first paragraph?

1. What words does the author use to describe the powers in the Constitution?
Ierofanga [76]

Hello. You forgot to put the text to which this question refers. The text is:

After listing the numerous powers granted to Congress by the Constitution the author says:

My object is to consider that undefined, unbounded and immense power which is comprised in the following clause: “And to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States; or in any department or offices thereof.” Under such a clause as this, can anything be said to be reserved and kept back from Congress? ...

In giving such immense, such unlimited powers, was there no necessity of a Bill of Rights, to secure to the people their liberties? Is it not evident that we are left wholly dependent on the wisdom and virtue of the men who shall from time to time be the members of Congress? And who shall be able to say seven years hence, the members of Congress will be wise and good men, or of the contrary character?

Answer:

The author uses the words "undefined", "unbounded" and "immense" to describe the powers of the constitution.

Explanation:

For the author, the constitution is highly powerful, since it has the capacity to possess immense, unlimited and indefinite power. This is a concern for the population of the country, because nothing guarantees that all this relevance will not be used for evil.

The power of the constitution is managed by those who administer it, the congressmen. No one guarantees that the members of the Congress are and will be just and good people, who will use all the power of the constitution for good.

What sport was nominated for a nobel prize in 2001?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Soccer, a sport with a history of violence on and off the field, was nominated for the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting understanding among nations. Despite the fact that more than a dozen fans died during stampedes and riots at games the previous year, Swedish lawmaker Lars Gustafsson argued that the game is beneficial to international relations. "Soccer has and will continue to play an important role in the global arena, when it comes to creating understanding between people," Gustafsson wrote in his nomination letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo. Ultimately, the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Kofi Annan and the United Nations.
