Write a note on natural rights and inalienable rights |
|
Answer» In modern society, every individual has two types of rights: Natural rights and legal rights. Natural rights are rights granted to all people by nature or God that cannot be denied or restricted by any government or individual. Natural rights are often said to be granted to people by “natural law.” Legal rights are rights granted by governments or legal systems. As such, they can also be modified, restricted or repealed. In the United States, legal rights are granted by the legislative bodies of the federal, state and LOCAL governments. The concept of a natural law establishing the existence of specific natural rights first appeared in ancient Greek philosophy and was referred to by Roman philosopher Cicero. It was later referred to in the Bible and further developed during the Middle Ages. Natural rights were cited during the Age of Enlightenment to oppose Absolutism — the divine right of kings. Today, some philosophers and political scientists contend that human rights are synonymous with natural rights. Others prefer to keep the terms separate in order to avoid the mistaken association of the aspects of human rights not typically applied to natural rights. For example, natural rights are considered to be beyond the powers of human governments to deny or protect. Jefferson, Locke, Natural Rights, and Independence. In drafting the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson justified demanding independence by citing several examples of ways in which England’s King George III had refused to recognize the natural rights of American colonists. Even with fighting between colonists and British troops already taking place on American soil, most members of Congress still hoped for a peaceful agreement with their motherland. In the first two paragraphs of that fateful document adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, Jefferson revealed his idea of natural rights in the often-quoted phrases, “all men are created equal,” “INALIENABLE rights,” and “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”Educated during the Age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries, Jefferson adopted the beliefs of philosophers who used reason and science to explain human behavior. Like those thinkers, Jefferson believed universal adherence to the “laws of nature” to be the key to advancing humanity. Many historians agree that Jefferson drew most of his beliefs in the IMPORTANCE of natural rights he expressed in the Declaration of Independence from the Second Treatise of Government, written by renowned English philosopher John Locke in 1689, as England’s own Glorious Revolution was overthrowing the reign of King James II. The assertion is hard to deny because, in his paper, Locke wrote that all people are born with certain, God-given “inalienable” natural rights that governments can neither grant nor revoke, including “life, liberty, and property.” Locke also argued that along with land and belongings, “property” included the individual’s “self,” which included well being or happiness. Locke also believed that it was the single most IMPORTANT duty of governments to protect the God-given natural rights of their citizens. In return, Locke expected those citizens to follow the legal laws enacted by the government. Should the government break this “contract” with its citizens by enacting “a long train of ABUSES,” the citizens had the right to abolish and replace that government. By lifting the “long train of abuses” committed by King George III against American colonists in the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson used Locke’s theory to justify the American Revolution. “We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.” – The Declaration of Independence. Natural Rights in a Time of Slavery? “All Men Are Created Equal” As by far the best-known phrase in the Declaration of Independence, “All Men Are Created Equal,” is often said to summarize both the reason for revolution, as well as the theory of natural rights. But with slavery being practiced throughout the American Colonies in 1776, did Jefferson – a life-long slave owner himself – really believe the immortal words he had written? Some of Jefferson’s fellow slave-owning separatists justified the obvious contradiction by explaining that only “civilized” people had natural rights, thus excluding slaves from eligibility.

In general, historical DIARIES are valued for their assumed factual content, be it social, political, scientific, or other, while the style of writing of a diarist is only contemporary Samuel ... Early examples of travel literature include Pausanias' Description of Greece in the 2nd century CE, the Journey Through Wales (1191) and Description of Wales (1194) by Gerald of Wales, and the travel journals of Ibn Jubayr (1145–1214) and Ibn Battuta (1304–1377), both of whom recorded their travels across the known world in detail. The travel genre was a fairly COMMON genre in MEDIEVAL Arabic literature.[2] Travel literature became popular during the Song dynasty (960–1279) of medieval China.[3] The genre was called 'travel record literature' (youji wenxue), and was often written in narrative, prose, essay and diary style.[4] Travel literature authors such as Fan Chengda (1126–1193) and Xu Xiake (1587–1641) incorporated a wealth of geographical and topographical information into their writing, while the 'daytrip essay' Record of Stone Bell Mountain by the noted poet and statesman Su Shi (1037–1101) presented a philosophical and moral argument as its central purpose.[5] One of the earliest known records of taking pleasure in travel, of travelling for the sake of travel and writing about it, is Petrarch's (1304–1374) ascent of Mount Ventoux in 1336. He states that he went to the mountaintop for the pleasure of seeing the top of the famous height. His companions who STAYED at the bottom he called frigida incuriositas ("a cold lack of CURIOSITY"). He then wrote about his climb, making allegorical comparisons between climbing the mountain and his own moral progress in life. հօԹҽ íԵ հҽӀԹՏ մ... |

What effect did the leadership of bhadur shah zafar had on the rebellion |
|
Answer» Though the rebels were determined to bring the East India Company’s rule in country to an end, they were faced with the question as to who would rule the land once the space of power fell vacant. The answer to this question lay in Red Fort, in Delhi. That was where the aging Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar had been RESIDING. After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal dynasty had declined and many smaller power centres had begun asserting their authority. Yet, the word of the Mughal king STILL held force for quite a number of ruling families. Threatened by the expansion of the British rule, many of them felt that if the Mughal emperor could rule again, they too would be able to rule their own territories once more. When the rebel forces reached Red Fort, Bahadur Shah was reluctant at first to take on the might of the British. However, he had to give in, and was thus proclaimed their leader. Having this SYMBOLIC head inspired the rebels to fight the British with renewed confidence, hope and COURAGE. The emperor wrote letters to the various chiefs and rulers of the country to come forward and ORGANISE a confederacy of Indian states to fight the British. In consequence of this action, the rebellion spread. The leadership of the Mughal emperor seemed to provide legitimacy to it. Regiment after regiment mutinied, and joined the rebel troops at Delhi, Kanpur and Lucknow. After them, the people of various Indian towns and villages also rose up in rebellion and rallied around local leaders, zamindars and chiefs. This not only strengthened the rebel forces, but also gave a national character to the rebellion. |

Describe trade of babur(8-10points) |
|
Answer» Answer: Inland trade is organized at local, regional and inter-regional levels. At the local level or village, much of the surplus was sold to BANJARAS or traditional grain merchants. Tavernier, a contemporary French traveller records that every village sold the surplus goods and to enable the merchants to carry on trade and each village had a Saraf or moneychanger. There existed periodic markets besides local markets. Banarsidas states that in the middle of the 17th century, Jaunpur had 52 paraganas, markets and wholesale markets or mandis each. We can postulate that there existed a network of small and big markets which were linked to bigger commercial centres in a region. Ahmedabad, SURAT, Dhaka, AGRA, Delhi, Lahore, Multan, Ajmer, Thatta, Burhanpur, Masulipatnam, Bijapur, Hyderabad, Calicut and Cochin were big TRADING centres of all commodities. There were special markets located at Delhi, Agra, Dhaka and Lahore for specific commodities. Owing to the growth of trade, a new class of sarfs and brokers emerged in these cities besides merchants. Burhanpur and Ahmedabad were famous for cotton ‘mandis’, Cambay was famous for gems, and Surat was famous for indigo market |
