As you know, Julius Caesar has recently been assassinated. Ever since then our great nation has been spiraling out of control. There is no structure to our government. Our republic is not working. We desperately need something new, a democracy. But in order for this to work, we need principles, we need a format. What we need is a limited government, a rule of law, a due process, majority rule and minority rights, along with civic duties. I will explain each principle. This new government will make sure that every citizen, will have their voice heard.
The first principle is a Limited Government. A limited government is a government that is restricted by law. The government will not be the only ones who make the decisions. The citizens of
There are things which are inheritley good. Service is looked at fondly as one of these naturally good things. Murder is typically thought of as wrong. We encourage service but condemn murder. Then there are concepts that we can’t quite pin down. They could be thought of as either right or wrong depending on specific circumstances or experiences. Power can go either way. In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, power is addictive, it destroys relationships, and induces guilt in the characters.

Ancient Rome is known for some of the most powerful leaders, rulers, and kings to ever walk the earth. With many powerful leaders came many different political styles, ideas, and philosophies ranging from the democracy we have in America today to power driven tyrants consumed by their greed for new land and more cities to rule.
Julius Caesar was the great dictator of the Roman Republic that led to the rise of the Roman Empire. His greatest accomplishments were through his military force which enabled him to be able to conquer vast amounts of land through war; likewise, Czar Nicholas II of Russia, had similar feat. He was a military man who got involved in the Russo-Japanese war and he was the Emperor of Russia. That is what makes these two men very interesting. They have an abundance of things in common as well as a few dissimilarities. Julius Caesar rose to dictatorship through his intelligence and observing how the republican government caved in under the burden of imperialism, the fundamental government had become powerless, and the military even replaced the
Over the past several decades, we as a people have allowed the fundamental principles written in our Constitution to be forgotten, distorted, or completely ignored. This did not happen overnight but rather bit-by-bit over time until we are faced with a system of government that is not, as the founders intended, based on Federalism and individual freedom, but rather a National system far removed from the principles for which
Power is the ability to act with force. “With great power comes great responsibility”(Benjamin Parker) when you obtain power there is an obligation of nobility while in this play there is some show of it, many of the character are influenced by it in negative ways. In the play Julius Caesar the change of power in rulers and how it corrupts is the main focus.
Racism, cons, and violence in the 1840’s were everywhere and rampant but today it is better. In comparison to the 1840’s the American society has changed a lot as it has evolved to have much less prejudice and anger against people of other races. Today's society still has a lot of problems as far as cons, violence, and racism are concerned but a lot of the main points from the 1840’s have been resolved only leaving scars or scabs in their wake. One of the most notable acts of racism recently was the Donald Glover incident. In society today we strive to pass the age of racism and violence alongside scams and cons though this is only something that can be done over time as wounds of society heals.
Is it acceptable for a citizen to be against the government? Some people believe it is their duty not to support an unfair government, and they must not be afraid to do it. Therefore, there are times when cruel leaders have to be overtaken.
Have you ever wondered if anything has stayed the same for over half a century? Look no further; in the drama, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, an important theme is all power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This simple statement is true for Ancient Rome and it is also true for North Korea today.
Gaius Julius Caesar, hereinafter Julius Caesar or Caesar, lived from 100 BC to 44 BC in Ancient Rome. Julius Caesar was an accomplished military general and skilled politician, who is credited with ending the Roman Republic and ushering in the age of Roman emperors.
Brutus, Cassius, Caesar, and the other Senators held the power to do things others could not. With this authority came their ability to use poor judgement.

Murder, treason, and ethical/moral corruption were three prevalent themes that proved the overall topic of Power Corrupts.
Unalienable Rights- Rights that are naturally endowed by their creator and can not be infringed or given away
Patti Davis once said that “Politics isn’t what defines a person, and it shouldn’t define a relationship.” Commonly, it is known that politics is something that often creates tension between friends, family, spouses as well as strangers. Throughout Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, there are many political issues that arise that impact the characters along with their relationships. As these issues come to light, the character’s speech and actions regarding the issue push the plot along. Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, displays how relationships between both friends and enemies can be affected negatively by the role that conflicting political views and beliefs play in them.
Power is a natural desire for humans. It is what structures society, makes the world turn, and to get more of it, people will do almost anything. Yet society often follows whoever is in power without a second thought. Because the Romans follow whoever is in power without considering that person’s morals and ideals, they are responsible for the anarchy that ensues after Caesar’s death.
As with many other skills, empathy is a learned skill that requires an awareness that other people think, feel, and behave in ways that are both similar and different from one’s self, or put simply, being able to relate to and understand what another person is experiencing or feeling (McDonald & Messinger, 2011). One of the first experiences that people have with empathy frequently appears as a baby when we hear another infant cry (Szalavitz, 2010). Other research has shown that infants not only favor adults who appear to be more helpful, but they also tend to offer voluntary help to adults who appear to be having difficulties when reaching for something (Szalavitz, 2010). Therefore, according to this research, it might be suggested that whether
