What gives a government the right to rule over people?
No one has the right to rule over one another. But we have lots of people involved in our government so it's better that way.

Chapter 3

1. If I had to establish civilization on a different planet I would choose Mars. I would choose Mars because it is similar to earth. They are both about the same size and about the same gravitational pull. I also think that Mars would be a good place for civilization because Mars has water (weather or not if it is drinkable)

2. I think that the government can rule over people because the people chose who they wanted to rule over them and the people accepted them to be part of the government.

3. I think that sometimes people need harsh punishments if they have committed a crime repeatedly.

Planet To Live On

The answer is obvious Ma- Venus Ha you thought I was going to say mars weren't you, HAHAHAHA! So Venus IS better than mars for colonizing because Venus has a magnetic field and thick atmosphere, and on top of that is closer. But wait I hear you saying WAIT BUT VENUS IS THE HOTTEST PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM IT WOULD BE A BAD IDEA SINCE IT'S SURFACE GETS TO 864 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT! You're right it is super hot but to solve that we would live ABOVE THE SURFACE!!!!!!!! I can see you going WHAT????????????????????????????????????? It's true though we could live in blimps obove the surface of Venus INSTEAD OF LIVING ON A COLD THINNED ATMOSPHERE WITHOUT A MAGNETIC FIELD ON A STUPID PLANET!!!!!! PS. Mars is actually really really cool.

What gives a government the right to rule over people?

 I don't believe the government has the right to rule the people in a way that takes away their freedom. The government has a purpose to represent and serve the people. "Ashoka's government promoted the welfare of the people by kind acts such as digging new wells, building hospitals for people and animals, allowing freedom of religion and easing harsh laws." [Concise world History] In this instance the government is helping the people and representing them properly.

Are harsh punishments needed to keep people in line?

 If we don't have any punishments then people would think murdering is ok and stealing is ok because there is no punishment for it. So we need to have a balance to know that there is a punishment for something big or small. If we did something like murder, it's a big crime so you would need to have bigger consequences so you can learn that it's not just ok.

IS Geography DESTINY?

In the chapter the ancient Egyptians considered themselves the privileged in there time, because they were next to the nile river. So in a way geography IS DESTINY RIGHT??????? The rest of the Africans were not so lucky because their continent was long rather than wide the African tribes had different land and were contentious with one another because they envied one another for there land. Where as in Europe the land was wide and the people lived peacefully MOSTLY. So Geography is destiny in a way.
