The goal of the Committee of the Public Safety was to protect the revolution from its enemies because they didn't want people to invade so they wouldn't be attacked. But, over time many things changed due to the Committee of Public Safety. For instance, they considered monopoly a series crime because the profiter inherited of selling items daily, and they wouldn't hoard it which means to keep for themselves. Also, The Committee of Public Safety passed the Decree Against Profiteers because the profiteers were ripping the people off by raising the price and the profiteers wanted to make everything to themselves. Yet, they accused people like formal nobles; who have not constantly demonstrated their devotion to the revolution. And,
The causes of the peasants’ revolt included lack of compensation for services, feelings of spiritual inequality, lords refusing peasant freedom without reimbursement, and the peasants’ manipulation of Lutheran principles; while the responses to the revolt incorporated negativity, violence, and authority
The smell of gunpowder and atrocities fill the gloomy night, enveloping the world in an eerie darkness. Screams of terror cut through that darkness making it even more daunting. The aurora of death clings to every fiber of the countryside making it seem more like the underworld than like France. He pops up in a dark uniform, rifle gleaming but it does no good, for he is shot in the head just as quick as he appeared. Why did he have to die? What could have prevented his death? What is the most effective response to aggression? Leaders before World War Two thought the answer was appeasement to Hitler, but the war still happened which means it didn’t work. Collective Security would have been a better option when dealing with Hitler’s actions pre
When the Framers first constructed the Constitution, they intended to expand the power of the national government so it could gain a reasonable amount power to govern the citizens of the new country, America. While the position of more power to the national government was favored by Federalists, Anti-Federalists had a different idea of the kind of power that should be delegated to the government. This dispute over the idea of power in the national government led to compromises between the two parties in order to win ratification for the federalists and rights for the states too for the Anti-Federalists.

They have helped the United states become a strong nation as a whole and here are some examples how.
The paramount intention of the Committee of Public Safety was to preserve the French Revolution from its rivals, although it was approached an exceedingly tyrannical method. In contempt of the contradictions, the leader of the Committee of Public Safety, Maximilien Robespierre, had uncovered a tactic of spreading fear to calm those who chose the rebel against the Revolution. Consequently, Robespierre kept all individuals under the suspicion of monopolization and executed those who rebelled the revolution. Under these decrees, all French citizens involuntarily agreed, not wishing to encounter the barbaric aftermath if riots broke out against the Revolution.
The Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Act, also known as the STEP Act has been challenged with criticism. During the 1980s California’s high level of gang activity created concern in the local communities. Due to the high concern legislations began being written. The STEP Act, although concerned with a reduction in gang crimes began perceived by many as applied disproportionately against minorities.
While American soldiers were busy fighting on the front lines against the Axis Powers, Americans at home demonstrated Civic Responsibility and did their part during World War II by using their production or work system to produce useful things for the army. Civic responsibility is your duty as a citizen to try to help your country. According to Document C, citizens promised, “I shall be regular in my attendance because every unnecessary day I take off is a red letter day for the enemy. I shall be thrifty with my time giving every working hour 60 minutes. I shall be careful of my work so that neither waste nor delay shall endanger the life of a Navy man. I shall be loyal to my job and my country, remembering that tomorrow’s frontline
The Law of Suspects referred to monarchists as enemies. They were placed in custody for being convicted of treason against the revolution. This intimidated people into either being indifferent, or restraining themselves from outwardly criticizing the revolution, as citizens did not want
Throughout the period of Antebellum there were many compromises made regarding slavery: The ⅗ compromise in 1787, the Missouri Compromise in 1820, the Tariff of 1833, and finally the compromise. With so many agreements made between the North and the South, why was america not able to make a compromise in 1861 when the secession crisis was happening? What happened between 1787 to 1861 causing the United States to change from a country of compromising opponents to a country of fighting enemies? The answer answer is not so simple.There are a myriad of factors which resulted in the ultimate failure of compromise, but the most important ones are as follows: The imbalance of power between the North and South made it incapable for the two sides to make a compromise that would be in the southerners own self interest, disillusionment with the nature of compromisation made neither the North nor the South want to work it out, and finally the growing divide between the two regions, along with clashing political beliefs caused an animosity between them that could not be reconciled by mere compromise.
Some examples of this would be the poor living conditions citizens must endure, poor food, prohibition of sexual desire and long hours worked. Due to the constant altercations of the past citizens believe that life before the revolution was horrible and are thankful for the new life the Party has given them. The Party does this because as long as the citizens think they are happy the is no chance of rebellion.
Charles Dickens, the author of A Tale of Two Cities portrays the aristocracy as an oblivious body of self-entitled people that wholeheartedly believe in their destiny of wealth. Their understanding of the poor people’s fate as stepping stools to their success allow them to injure and even murder them without any repercussions. This constant abuse of the rich to the poor fuels the fire that is the French Revolution. The Marquis St. Evrémonde shows an extreme sense of ignorance when, after running over an innocent child, he simply, “threw out a gold coin” as a token
Every year communities struggle each year around the nation with issues of life safety. In 2012, the nation’s fire departments responded to 31,854,000 responses that resulted in the deaths 0f 2,855 civilians and injuring 16,500 causing an estimated $12,427 million dollars in damage. (United States Fire Administration, 2014) These incidents put at risk 345,950 career and 783,300 volunteer firefighters that resulted in the deaths of 81 individuals (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2013) and nearly 70,000 reported injuries. ( Karter & Molis, 2013) These numbers represent incidents that are determined to be in the line of duty but do not take into consideration the long-term health risk issues that may develop. Evidence shows that he hazards associated with Fire and Emergency Services are consistent across the board whether paid or volunteer and jeopardize the lives and health of each individual, placing administrative and physical control measures reduces this risk to firefighter within an organization. While it is impossible to eliminate the hazards firefighters face, it is important to identify these hazards as the first step in reducing the potential for loss of life and wellbeing both physically and mentally.
1793, the first year of the Reign of Terror, Robespierre grasped on to his new power and as the revolution spun out of control the Jacobins Club established a new way to “fight enemies” by constructing a Committee of Public Safety and a Tribunal Court. (Doc A) This new government was working swell; it contained counterrevolutionaries in the Vendée Region, and it smothered and ferreted the internal threats. (Docs A, C, G) The counterrevolutionaries adopted a name that meant trouble – the rabble.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as "the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property"—a traffic and not a criminal offense like road rage. Examples include speeding or driving too fast for conditions, improper lane changing, tailgating and improper passing. Approximately 6,800,000 crashes occur in the United States each year; a substantial number are estimated to be caused by aggressive driving. 1997 statistics compiled by NHTSA and the American Automobile Association show that almost 13,000 people have been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving. According to a NHTSA survey, more than 60 percent of drivers consider unsafe driving by others, including speeding, a major personal threat to themselves and their families. About 30 percent of respondents said they felt their safety was threatened in the last month, while 67 percent felt this threat during the last year. Weaving, tailgating, distracted drivers, and unsafe lane changes were some of the unsafe behaviors identified. Aggressive drivers are more likely to drink and drive or drive unbelted. Aggressive driving can easily escalate into an incident of road rage. Motorists in all 50 states have killed or injured other motorists for seemingly trivial reasons. Motorists should keep their cool in traffic, be patient and courteous to other drivers, and correct unsafe driving habits that are likely to endanger, antagonize or provoke other motorists. More than half of those surveyed by NHTSA admitted to driving aggressively on occasion. Only 14 percent felt it was "extremely dangerous" to drive 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. 62 percent of those who frequently drive in an unsafe and illegal manner said police for traffic reasons had not stopped them in the past year. The majority of those in the NHTSA survey (52 percent) said it was "very important" to do something about speeding. Ninety-eight percent of respondents thought it "important" that something be done to reduce speeding and unsafe driving. Those surveyed ranked the following countermeasures, in order, as most likely to reduce aggressive and unsafe driving behaviors: (1) more police assigned to traffic control, (2) more frequent ticketing of traffic violations, (3) higher fines, and (4) i...
In recent years, tragedies have been visited upon schools across the country. From Kentucky to Oregon to Colorado, the notion of schools as safe havens has been shattered by the sound of gunfire. These acts are not limited to any geographic regions or family backgrounds, nor do they have a single catalyst. Those who have committed such heinous acts have done so for different reasons, at different times, in different schools. But these acts of school violence have at least one thing in common- they have spurred all of us to take a look at what can be done to better protect children and teachers at school. Protecting our children is not simply a matter of public policy. It is a matter of strengthening basic values, of teaching children right from wrong, of instilling in them respect for others. We each have a responsibility to work to end youth violence and to keep schools safe for children and for those who teach them. Youth violence in many schools has reached universal proportions. It is not only happening in our high schools, it has also made its way into our elementary and middle schools. Everyone seems to have a different perspective on why there is such a problem with school safety. Some say it is the parents’ fault, some say it is the media, and others blame the schools. Yet, the question still remains. What can be done to make schools safer for the children and staff? One thing we need to do is learn to listen to our children and observe their behavior. According ...
