.... of checks and balances that appealed to republican theory, and a Council of State the evoked memories of Louis XIV. The new constitution in fact established the rule of one man—the First Consul, Bonaparte. He was elected the First Consul, he was the first modern political figure to use the rhetoric of revolution and nationalism, to back it with military force, and to combine those elements into a mighty weapon of imperial expansion in the service of his own power and ambition. He can also illustrate his characteristic as a revolutionary by establishing an empirical government in France. As First Consul, Napoleon issued a .....

.... Vecchio, the Florentine town hall. With this statue, Michelangelo proved to his contemporaries that he not only surpassed all modern artists, but also the Greeks and Romans, by infusing formal beauty with powerful expressiveness and meaning. Michelangelo’s David does not make me feel a certain way. It is simply a magnificent statue. This statue does not have a certain mood. David is a statue of David in the nude looking off into the distance. The color is white, so it does not show any mood through its color. This work of art is a realistic figure of David. The statue is a masterful work of ar .....

.... in a Baltimore riot from which he never fully recovered and that also caused his leaving of Alexandria for a warmer climate. He died six years later at Cumberland Island, Georgia when Robert was only 12. Robert was forced to become the man of the family and cared for his mother and sisters because his father and elder brothers had left. Robert would stuff papers to block cracks in the carriage and go driving to help his mother get out during her failing health. Years later, when Robert left for West Point, Ann Lee wrote to a cousin, "How will I ever get on with out Robert, he is both a son and a daughter" ( www.stratfordhall. .....

.... three years later, Alexander’s mother requested to be allowed to rule with him, once Alexander became king. She knew that would be the only way she could regain power. When Alexander turned twenty, his father was brutally murdered by Alexander’s friend. This demonstrated once again how loyal Alexander was to his father, and how difficult a decision it was to pick sides between his father and mother. Alexander had a strong ego beginning at birth. Even from the cradle, his mother taught him that he was a god, so he grew up believing it was true. There were many reasons why Alexander’s mother believed him to b .....

.... him sent to "Boys Town," a juvenile detention center, near Omaha, Nebraska. Charles spent a total of three days in "Boys Town" before running away. He was arrested in Peoria, Illinois for robbing a grocery store and was then sent to the Indiana Boys School in Plainfield, Indiana, where he ran away another eighteen times before he was caught and sent to the National Training School for Boys in Washington D.C. Manson never had a place to call "home" or a real family. He spent his childhood being sent from one place to another, and trouble always seemed to follow him. His mother's negligence left Manson without a home and .....

.... School. From 1897 to 1899 he attended Harvard College as a special student but left without a degree. Over the next ten years he wrote (but rarely published) poems, operated a farm in Derry, New Hampshire (purchased for him by his paternal grandfather), and supplemented his income by teaching at Derry's Pinkerton Academy. In 1912, at the age of 38, he sold the farm and used the proceeds to take his family to England, where he could devote himself entirely to writing. His efforts to establish himself and his work were almost immediately successful. A Boy's Will was accepted by a London publisher and brought out in 1913 .....

.... With the Constitution giving so much power to the central government, the states would eventually lose their own power and the federal government would take over. This meant that the federal government would ultimately control over all the land within its borders. This, Henry Lee felt, would be impossible for a central government to do. It is written in a letter from to Edmund Pendleton that: “… in a country so extensive as the territory of the U. States which is stated by Capt. Hutchins at a Million square miles, whilst the empire of Germany contains but 192,000, and the kingdom of France but 163,000 square miles. .....

.... Paoli, and Napoleon and his family fled to Marseille in 1793. Later in 1793, the beginning of the French revolution, Napoleon led an artillery brigade to push out a British fleet that the Royalists had allowed in. Napoleon's mission was a success, and he was promoted to general, and was assigned to the army in Northern Italy. During the early part of the revolution, Napoleon had supported Maximilien Robespierre's revolutionary group, and when Robespiere was overthrown in 1794, Napoleon spent two months in jail for being associated with him. When he was released from jail, Napoleon refused to fight a rebellion in Vandee, and h .....

.... was intrigued by certain mysteries of science, he was considered a slow learner. His failure to become fluent in German until the age of nine even led some teachers to believe he was disabled. ’s elementary education began at the Luitpold Gymnasium when he was ten. Here he first encountered the “German spirit” through the school’s strict disciplinary policy. His disapproval of this method of teaching led to his reputation as a bad student and a rebel. It was probably this kind of education that caused to search for knowledge on his own. Surprisingly he did not begin looking for science, but for religion. He avidly studi .....

.... about economics and don't work. Karl Marx's ideas on communism are incorrect based on his ideas of society. Karl believed that all people will react the same. It has been proven that everyone reacts just a little different from the next person. People all have different ideas, that makes us human. Another of Karl's ideas that is wrong is that the rich control society. This is untrue, at least in our democracy. If a person who is rich or poor is running the country badly, we choose a new person to lead. It doesn't matter if the person is rich or poor, it is how well they do their job of keeping the people happy. Karl's idea that .....
