Why are most laws based on the wishes of the majority

History
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because if let's say there are 20 kids in a class and the teacher tells everyone to choose between 2 options for a school trip, the first is a museum and the second is a park. So the kids vote for the trip and 29 choose the park, but 1 choose the museum. More kids want to go to the park and if the teacher picked the museum because only 1 kid voted for it, it wouldn't be fair. The majority wins over the minority because more people want something than the minority does. Think about what would happen if the minority would win, let's say a minority of people want to ban all puppies. Would that be fair to the majority who love puppies?

<span>the government may censor the press in the interest of national and military security.
For example, the freedom of the press still banned the journalists to spread up important information regarding Federal agency's top secret (just like what Edward Snowden did to the CIA) because it could damage the united states' national security.</span>

Who discovered Mars? When? How? Where?
Ray Of Light [21]




Tycho Brahe

1609
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630), a student of Tycho Brahe, publishes Astronomia Nova (New Astronomy), which contain his first two laws of planetary motion. Kepler's first law assumes that Mars has an elliptical orbit, which was a revolutionary idea at the time. Until then, the classical belief held that a circle was perfect, and therefore all orbits must be circular.

1609
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) observes Mars with a primitive telescope, becoming the first person to use it for astronomical purposes.

1659
The Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) draws Mars using an advanced telescope of his own design. He records a large, dark spot on Mars, probably Syrtis Major. He notices that the spot returns to the same position at the same time the next day, and calculates that Mars has a 24 hour period.

1666
Giovanni Cassini (1625 - 1712) observes Mars and determines that the rotational period, or length of one Mars day is 24h, 40m.

1672
Huygens is the first to notice a white spot at the south pole, probably the southern polar cap.

1698
Huygens publishes Cosmotheros, which discusses what is required of a planet to support life, and speculates about intelligent extraterrestrials. This is one of the first published expositions of extraterrestrial life.

Historical Perspective...


The Trial of Galileo

The 1600s were not an easy time in which to study science. The church was a powerful institution and had its own ideas about the nature of the universe. Galileo was a beliver in the Copernican theory that the solar system revolves around the sun. He was advised by Cardinal Bellarmino to be cautious and not to imply the the Copernican theory were real. He published a book, Siderius Nuncius (Starry Messenger) which was considered controversial and in opposition with the ideas of the Roman Catholic Church, and was arrested and tried in the Inquisition. Galileo was found guilty of heresy and was sentenced to life imprisonment and forced to recant. In secret, he wrote another book, which was smuggled out of the country and published in France. His work is now considered the foundation of modern physics.
