d. Thomas Paine
Answer:
d. Thomas Paine
Explanation:
Born in England, Thomas Paine graduated from elementary school only. He was a pamphleteer, polemicist and one of the most prominent figures of the 18th century. His most notable works are: The Rights of Man (1792), The Age of Reason, The American Crisis, Common Sense, A Discussion on the First Principles of Government, and he also wrote the Republican Manifesto. The formation of his ideas was influenced by Newton, John Locke, Montesquieu, but also by his affiliation with the Quaker religious community. He considered man to be a social being by nature, and that the state was inevitably evil and the fruit of usurpation. He believed that natural rights were the origin and basis of state rights. In his view, the state is a social institution that was created on the basis of social contracts in the interest of securing civil rights and freedoms. He considered the most appropriate form of political organization of society to be a democratic republic. He participated in the drafting of the Declaration of Human and Citizen Rights and greatly influenced the creation of the American Declaration of Independence of 1776. He handed over the keys to the Bastille to George Washington (the first president of the Democratic Republic). He criticized the English constitution and elevated the importance of the French Revolution. He was an opponent of religion and the church. It is also significant in that it was the first to propose the US constitutional government, the first to advocate the emancipation of blacks, to propose national and international copyrights, to draft a plan for international arbitration, and to campaign for women's rights.
Answer:
Nazi persecution of Jews and others began with the Nuremberg Laws.
Explanation:
The Nuremberg Laws, enacted on September 15, 1935 were laws in Nazi Germany that restricted the rights of Jews and other "non-Aryans" and thus created a legal basis for Jewish racial discrimination. The purpose of the laws was to isolate Jews from "pure blood" Germans, both politically and socially.
The Nuremberg Laws classified people to whom both grandparents and both grandmothers were Germans as people of "German or related blood", while Jews who were three or four grandparents of Jews were classified as Jews. A person with one or two grandparents of Jewish descent was considered a hybrid, or a mixed blood person. These laws deprived Jews of German citizenship and prohibited marriage between Jews and other Germans.
The Nuremberg laws also prohibited sexual intercourse between persons defined as "Jews" and other Germans and prohibited "Jews" from participating in the social life of Germany.
