I proclaim that censorship is indeed essential for good education since it teaches the students to imitate the right people/actions and allows…

During our class discussions this semester, we talked about the American government system and how each (Legislative, Executive and Judicial) function. We also talked about two potential alternative systems of democracy. The parliamentary system and proportional representation.

His main goal with the New France was to make a republic out of it, not a monarchy. His new Republic that was called the “First Consul” was “not like Kings…who see their states as an inheritance.” As you see here is that he doesn’t want to be considered to be a king, but continually pasted so called “Constitutions” which more…

Now, that we have some background between German, France, and the United States, and the relationship they each shared, we will now get into the differences between political and government structure between these countries. Both Germany and the United States followed a democratic policy, but there are similarities and differences in how each of the countries applied democracy in their countries. For example, the U.S used the majority system, meaning that the majority of the votes win,…

Plato constructs a society in which the wise men, known as the philosophers, hold the highest position in the government. If he gave up this assumption that certain people are intrinsically unfit to occupy certain political social positions, he wouldn’t make this claim. He would instead create a society where everyone’s voice is heard no matter which social status they come from. A society that hears the voices of all the people and doesn’t underestimate their ideas. Also, he would allow the…

Respect for the ancient Greco-Roman traditions is so important that it can…
