Question: Do these explorers deserve to be called heroes? Why or why not?

Montezuma, Christopher Columbus, Bartolome de las casas, Henry Hudson, Basco Nunez de balboa, Gerdinand Magelian, Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a lot of controversy as to whether these explorers should be called heroes due to some of their actions towards the indigenous people in the regions they supposedly "discovered". Christopher Columbus was responsible for the ra-pe, murder, enslavement of thousands of natives on the island of Hispaniola. Many died from smallpox spread to them by the crew.

They sold little girls and forced the natives to mine for gold or die. Over 50k committed mass sui-cide to avoid being killed or enslaved by the Spaniards.

Hispanola had approximately 300k inhabitants when he landed there. Within two years 100k were dead, in the next 50 years the number was down to 300. Each of these men has their own stories of treatment towards the people in the lands they explored. That is why there is question as to whether they should be considered heroes. The question just wants your opinion on the subject.

2. What role did slavery play in establishing racism in America?

Answers

Answer: The history of the Electoral College is receiving a lot of attention. Pieces like this one, which explores “the electoral college and its racist roots,” remind us how deeply race is woven into the very fabric of our government. A deeper examination, however, reveals an important distinction between the political interests of slaveholders and the broader category of the thing we call “race.”

“Race” was indeed a critical factor in the establishment of the Constitution. At the time of the founding, slavery was legal in every state in the Union. People of African descent were as important in building northern cities such as New York as they were in producing the cash crops on which the southern economy depended. So we should make no mistake about the pervasive role of race in the conflicts and compromises that went into the drafting of the Constitution.

Yet, the political conflicts surrounding race at the time of the founding had little to do with debating African-descended peoples’ claim to humanity, let alone equality. It is true that many of the Founders worried about the persistence of slavery in a nation supposedly dedicated to universal human liberty.  After all, it was difficult to argue that natural rights justified treason against a king without acknowledging slaves’ even stronger claim to freedom. Thomas Jefferson himself famously worried that in the event of slave rebellion, a just deity would side with the enslaved.

What are the challenges we face today to uphold the rule of law? What about in the future?

Answers

Answer:

Anyone who holds that what matters most in politics is having the right people in power and not how power should be constrained will be unconvinced of the value of the rule of law. Neither will anyone who believes that institutions of public power are merely instruments of the ruling class that need to be dismantled rather than merely constrained. For the majority of modern democratic societies, however, the rule of law’s requirement that both rulers and the ruled be accountable to the law is of unquestionable value. To be sure, in the modern world, it is the liberal tradition that values the rule of law most highly. Liberals who are concerned with ways of protecting (and realizing) liberty in some form and averting threats to it view the rule of law as an overarching source of security. Nonetheless, there is substantial disagreement even among liberals over what exactly counts as a faithful application of the term and, even when that is pinned down, how it is to be accomplished.

In itself, the notion of the rule of law is not a faithful description of any state of affairs but a complex ideal that is even more complex to realize. Thus, there is reason to be skeptical about whether societies necessarily benefit from all that might be invoked under the term. The independence of the judiciary, for instance, is clearly a problem if the independence is misused to foster the sectoral privileges of judicial personnel or to allow unchallenged interpretations of the law. Heavy emphasis on the formal aspects of the rule of law—for example, on procedural justice—may distract from the content and consequences of those laws. Critics of a strictly formal conception of the rule of law argue that too much attention to legal process generates significant vices of its own in the form of exaggerated legalism and neglect of the political or real-world dimensions of legal conflicts. Excessive veneration of the law and legal procedures may be too costly if it inhibits independent social assessments of the merits of a given policy proposal or if the official mandate of “blindness” gives legitimacy to actions performed “according to the law” even when most people would oppose such acts. Some writers have charged, moreover, that the increasing domain of judges and lawyers—indeed, their encroachment into areas previously left to politicians and the electorate—entails the loss of much that is politically and democratically valuable.

In short, too much emphasis on procedures for preventing arbitrariness can lead to subverting the doing of justice according to what might otherwise find support in the rule of law, and the legal strictures then become themselves a form of arbitrariness that is no more legitimate. On the other hand, those who defend the negative value of the rule of law object to more substantive understandings of the ideal on the grounds that morally ambitious aspirations about the rule of law threaten to purge the concept of its specificity and usefulness. They argue that to open the concept to a whole host of extralegal considerations about substantive justice and wider societal goals is to conflate ideas about “the rule of law” with notions about “the rule of good law,” such that any distinction between the two is reduced to nothing. As a consequence, no discussion of the rule of law can be complete without some philosophical reflection on law, including on its purpose and meaning.
