Answer:

The best option is "Napoleon hero vs. Louis XVI".

Explanation:

By looking up "Napoleon Louis XVI" a website titled "From Louis XVI to Napoleon - The French Revolution" pops up. The website details how generous, shy, and easily swayed King Louis XVI was and how he was not suited for the position. It is mentioned how King Louis unintentionally opened the doors to revolution and that France needed a stronger ruler. This is where Napoleon Bonaparte comes in. We are told that Napoleon achieved success in the military at a young age, and the French approved of the constitution that gave real ruling power to Napoleon. One of his most important reforms was his code of laws, referred to as the Napoleonic Code. Napoleon was powerful and expanded his empire over the course of a decade of winning numerous wars, he was the strong and absolute leader that had been needed. However, after the French went to war with Russia during a harsh winter and Napoleon only came back with 30,000 of the 600,000 men that had been taken, Napoleon was exiled. Napoleon came back shortly after to attempt at winning another war in Waterloo. He was exiled again, this time to the island of St. Helena where he died.

There were little other results for this search, if you looked hard enough you could find the websites though. The first website offers quite a bit of information, but since it's so difficult to find other websites to choose from the second option seems better.

Searching "Napoleon hero vs. Louis XVI" brings up a different website called "Napoleon: flawed hero or power-mad tyrant? - Sky HISTORY". This site starts off questioning if Napoleon was "...a flawed but essential visionary who changed Europe for the better" or "...simply a military dictator, whose cult of personality and lust for power set a template for the likes of Hitler". (Sky HISTORY) Napoleons personality is likened to a maddening paradox. The article states that Napoleon was a military genius that led disastrous campaigns. Napoleon reinstated slavery in the French colonies as well. This website claims that the French had to watch as Napoleon crowned himself after they had fought to bring down the monarchy. As an emperor, Napoleon held more power and pageantry than King Louis VXI ever had. Napoleon even created a new aristocracy by appointing his relatives as royals/nobles throughout Europe. After that the site explains in depth how paradoxical Napoleon was, and that the arguments over him and his status will continue, that itself is enough of a testament to his power.

Other websites resulting from this search are "#MWH Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant? - Central Bucks School District", "Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant? - 5-Minute History", "How Effective Is Napoleon A Hero? - 1160 Words - IPL.org". This set of key words pulls up better results that hold enough information to put together a nice essay if needed.

(I would like to note that I only skimmed through the first sites that popped up for each search)

In what ways does the Magna Carta promote the idea that even the king must be subject to the rule of law? What responsibilities
IrinaVladis [17]

On June 15, 1215, a disgruntled group of landed barons achieved a great if very short-lived victory over the reigning monarch of the time, King John.  That victory was the king’s consent to a document presented for his stamp that limited the monarch’s authorities vis-à-vis his subjects.  That document, the Magna Carta, was a detailed list of demands and principles that were intended to protect these elites from the tyranny of a king with unchecked powers.   This limitation on the taxation of the king’s subjects, and its prohibition on the enforced requisition of those subjects’ crops and other properties, remained a pillar of democratic thought for centuries to come, and was reissued several times over the ensuing years until it finally stuck.  Its influence on the British subjects residing in the Crown’s North American colonies who were contemplating the text of what would become the Constitution of the United States was considerable.  Those rebellious colonies were heavily influenced by the intellectual developments characteristic of the Age of Enlightenment, but central to those developments remained the principles established in the Magna Carta.  That this nation’s founders were similarly influenced by the 1215 document is evident in Alexander Hamilton’s essay defending the draft constitution and advocating for its ratification.  In that essay, designated Federalist Paper #84, Hamilton wrote the following:    “It has been several times truly remarked that bills of rights are, in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgements of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Charta, obtained by the barons, sword in hand, from King John. Such were the subsequent confirmations of that charter by succeeding princes. Such was the Petition of Right assented to by Charles I., in the beginning of his reign. Such, also, was the Declaration of Right presented by the Lords and Commons to the Prince of Orange in 1688, and afterwards thrown into the form of an act of parliament called the Bill of Rights.”   In that passage, Hamilton recognizes the enduring influence of the Magna Carta, and of the document’s role in the evolution of political thought through the ensuing centuries.  The concept of limitations on the power of a ruler had sufficient appeal that it survived many monarchs’ efforts at resisting the relinquishment of authority the document stipulated.  The American Bill of Rights was a direct outgrowth of the evolution of political thought that didn’t begin with the Magna Carta, but for which the document represented perhaps its most important manifestation to date.

1. After World War II, the U.S. and its Allies fought to contain the spread of __________.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

As World War II drew to a close, the alliance that had made the United States and the Soviet Union partners in their defeat of the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—began to fall apart. Both sides realized that their visions for the future of Europe and the world were incompatible. Joseph Stalin, the premier of the Soviet Union, wished to retain hold of Eastern Europe and establish Communist, pro-Soviet governments there, in an effort to both expand Soviet influence and protect the Soviet Union from future invasions. He also sought to bring Communist revolution to Asia and to developing nations elsewhere in the world. The United States wanted to expand its influence as well by protecting or installing democratic governments throughout the world. It sought to combat the influence of the Soviet Union by forming alliances with Asian, African, and Latin American nations, and by helping these countries to establish or expand prosperous, free-market economies. The end of the war left the industrialized nations of Europe and Asia physically devastated and economically exhausted by years of invasion, battle, and bombardment. With Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and China reduced to shadows of their former selves, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the last two superpowers and quickly found themselves locked in a contest for military, economic, social, technological, and ideological supremacy.
