    What Was Montesquieu's Aim in Writing the Spirit of the Laws?

    The Spirit of the Laws took Montesquieu twenty years to write and was first published in Geneva in 1748. It was distributed freely, without the hindrance of censorship and deemed and instant success, despite negative feedback from friends to whom the manuscript was shown. After two years and twenty-two impressions made across Europe many critics arose of his work, however this merely added to the fame of the author. Despite his critics, Montesquieu knew he had created a worthy and original work of political theory expressed by the phrase of his last preface ‘an offspring made without a mother '. (Montesquieu 1989: preface) This suggests that Montesquieu intended to create a distinctive political theory which was unlike any of his predecessors. Although he quotes famous predecessors such as Plato and Aristotle, he treats them as sources of information rather than philosophical fundamentals.…

    The Necessary Attributes Of Thomas Hobbes Leviathan

    Thomas Hobbes writes Leviathan to illustrate that civil peace and social unity are most successfully established through a commonwealth by a social contract. Hobbes portrays the perfect governing figure over the commonwealth to be the “Leviathan”. Throughout Leviathan he is demonstrating the necessary attributes that the perfect Leviathan would require to maintain civil peace and social unity. To understand Leviathan, one must understand Hobbes’ definition of the state of nature as violent, his opinion on human nature to be selfish, a social contract to be originated for security purposes by members of society, and that morality is an integral object in all of this to be successful in achieving a safe peaceful environment. To begin, Hobbes…

    World History Research Paper

    World History is class that is generally considered non-essential, at least to students. Students tend to lack focus in school and that focus can at times go out the window when they are in history classes. People in general just don't tend to view World History as highly as they view math or reading classes. Even while being a mandatory class to take for several schooling systems, World History is not nearly as funded as other subject areas are. Teaching World History can be a struggle because of this funding problem as well as other problems.…

    Government

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau, born on June 28, 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer. His ideal form of government was Direct Democracy. A government in which citizens vote directly for the laws that would govern themselves. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s political philosophy influenced the French Revolution. He believed that human beings are good and equal in nature but modern society (government, school, media, and etc.) had corrupted the goodness in people. He wanted to find a way to protect everyone’s life, liberty, and property while everyone remained free. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s solution was a social contract. A social contract is an agreement by which people obey the laws of government in exchange for protection. Everyone would give up all their rights to their community, not a king. The people would…
