Resistance to Civil Government, or Civil
Disobedience [ 1 ] I heartily accept the motto,
That government is best which governs least; and I

this, which also I believe That government is best
which governs not at all; and when men are
prepared for it, that will be the kind of

Late Eighteenth Century Absolute Monarch
1,287 words
Ever since the two men themselves walked the
Earth, there has been considerably debate as to
whether the political thought of Thomas Hobbes or
John Locke was closer to the truth. Hobbes,
characterized as the "Apologist for Absolutism" in
The Western Heritage, believed that the natural
state of man was one of continuous competition and
would generally be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish
and short. " Therefore, he believed in a strong
absolute monarch to keep the people under control.
Locke, called...

this country will experience some sort of
violence, from a husband or boyfriend, in one form

age of 21 he was subjected to a lifestyle so harsh
that he often saw death as an attractive
alternative. Many of his countrymen, who existed
in the same, if not a worse lifestyle, did in fact
chose death to escape the brutally barbaric and
torturous treatment that was...

Hester Prynne Roger Chillingworth

One belief that people live by is that evil is the
nature of mankind, yet there are others that feel
man has good intentions but those intentions can
be overrun by the devil. Nathaniel Hawthorne
points out that the former is true of all people
in the novel The Scarlet Letter. In this novel,
there are three main characters who commit evil
and sinful acts, but each act is at a different
degree of sinfulness (i. e. the sins get worse as
the story goes a-long). These three sinners, in

Reign In Hell Character Of Satan
1,164 words
Satan, as a character, has been satirized, mocked
and made foolish in our modern world. John Milton,
however, presents quite a different Satan from the
devil-on-your-shoulder image people are used to
seeing. In Paradise Lost, Milton draws on the
Bible for his source of Satan's character, thereby
creating a horrifyingly corrupt Satan. Despite
this portrayal, readers often find themselves
sympathizing with Satan's cause, and his
determination, viewing him as a hero for his
cause, as evidenced by h...

American Policies During The Great Depression

... ployment cannot take place. And, said Hayek,
depressions are this process of liquidation and
preparation for the redeployment of resources. As
Schumpeter put it, policy does not allow a choice
between depression and no depression, but between
depression now and a worse depression later:
"inflation pushed far enough [would] undoubtedly
turn depression into the sham prosperity so
familiar from European postwar experience,

German Defenses Matters Worse

When examined closely, the Dieppe raid can be seen
for what it truly was- a politically motivated
disaster which, due to poor planning and over
zealous British leadership, sacrificed needlessly
the lives of Canadians for no practical reason at
all. In reality, the Canadians who died at Dieppe
had no real chance at victory and the British high
command knew it, but preferred to martyr the men,
rather than look bad in the eyes of their Russian
and American allies. As such, Dieppe should not be
