.... sovereign, while Locke, in his Treatise, provides for a government responsible to its citizenry with limitations on the ruler’s powers. The understanding of the state of nature is essential to both theorists’ discussions. For Hobbes, the state of nature is equivalent to a state of war. Locke’s description of the state of nature is more complex: initially the state of nature is one of “peace, goodwill, mutual assistance and preservation�. Transgressions against the law of nature, or reason which “teaches mankind that all being equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty and possessions,� a .....

.... to communism. In the United States, many saw accumulative series of Soviet interventions which involved military means; Angola, Ethiopia, Kampuchea, Afghanistan, as a pattern of Soviet expansion, which was not consistent with détente. Many actually believed that these expansionist moves were encouraged by détente. Ultimately, the expectations that détente would achieve more were held by both powers. It was the failure to satisfy these expectations which led to its demise. Kissinger suggested that "détente, with all its weaknesses, should be judged not against some ideal but against what would have happened in its absence. .....

.... it become popular in America so much more so than in any other country? Wherein lay the Impressionist appeal? These are important questions. For some time during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, American artists had scoffed at European art as too stuffy and urbane. The Americans drew inspiration from the beauty of their native landscape, turning to naturalist and romantic styles to portray the land they loved. The Literary World wrote, “What comparison is there between the garden landscapes of England or France and the noble scenery of the Hudson, or the wild witchery of some of our unpolluted lakes and streams? One is man& .....

.... European goods became expensiveto english nobles. Nobles had no new world gold and didn't benefit from inflation. Because nobles were going broke they asked Queen Elizabeth to raise the rent . The Queen later said "No!" This allowed the middle class to became rich. The middle class made mone by buying at old english price. and investing in Europe products. Nobles were tied to fix lands. The nobles decided to do something. The nobles closed all their land and this was called. The inclosure movement. The nobles then fenced in all their land. There fore peasants were forced to seek new work an a new life. The middle class had a investment to the new worl .....

.... to the Kaiser's regime and dedicated to its overthrow. Kaiser Wilhelm II had absolute power over the army. He alone presided over the nation's foreign affairs. It was his decision to say if Germany went to war. He felt that since Germany had the best steel mills, were the leaders during the machine age, had the most powerful engineering industry, the best chemists, and the mighty German Army, superior to any other army, that Germany should share in world affairs by expanding abroad, and become more imperialistic. He felt economic power should be reflected in political power. He ordered the build up of the Navy, which poisoned his relations with Engl .....

.... Peter, Paul and John. All of the people who had previously practiced the Roman religion now would practice Christianity. The expression, “Love thy neighbor� was a very essential lesson for the Christians. It formed their bases of living (Fenton 34). The Christians were using maintainable operations. Many people who had learned about it through missionaries were following this religion. The missionaries spent long hours and put forth much effort in their attempt to spread Christianity. This would take a while because of the broad size of the Roman Empire and the so little few of the missionaries. However, there were many conversions to Chri .....

.... they were essentially the Sultan's "slaves". The main duties of this select little group were to protect and enlarge the financial assets of the state for the benefit of the Sultan and the Empire. These leaders also ruled and defended the far-flung Ottoman Empire. While the Sultan invested wealth and the leaders protected it, the majority of commoners, the rayyahs, had the task of actually producing the wealth. The rayyahs had to pay part of their profits from industry, commerce, and farming to the state in the form of taxes. Townsfolk, villagers, and pastoral peoples made up the eclectic mix of the rayyah class. The word "rayyah" literally transla .....

.... that while similar other leaders assumed the leadership of traditionally well-defined nations and advocated their cause, or led them to freedom. He created a nation out of an undeveloped and down-trodden minority and established a cultural and national home for it. He had done that all that within a decade. For over three decades before the successful pinnacle in 1947 of the Muslim struggle for freedom in the South-Asian subcontinent, Jinnah had provided political leadership to the Indian Muslims: initially as one of the leaders, but later, since 1947, as the only prominent leader- the Quaid-i-Azam. For over thirty years, he had guided their affai .....

.... Purchase in 1853. At this point the United States had accomplished its manifest destiny, it reached from east to west, from sea to shining sea. Now that the lands it so desired were finally there, the United States faced a new problem- how to get its people to settle these lands so they would actually be worth having. Realistically, it is great to have a lot of land, but if the land is unpopulated and undeveloped, it really isn't worth much. And the government of the United States knew this. One of the reasons that many did not choose to settle there immediately was that the lands were quite simply in the middle of nowhere. They were surrounded b .....

.... problem faced by all Roman Emperors. His final settlement in this regard was not lucky: he adopted his fourth wife\'s son, who was to reign catastrophically as Nero and bring the dynasty to an end. Claudius\'s reign, therefore, was a mixture of successes and failures that leads into the last phase of the Julio-Claudian line. Claudius was born on 1 August 10 BC at Lugdunum in Gaul, into the heart of the Julio-Claudian dynasty: he was the son of Drusus Claudius Nero, the son of Augustus\'s wife Livia, and Antonia, the daughter of Mark Antony. His uncle, Tiberius, went on to become emperor in AD 14 and his brother Germanicus was marked out for su .....
