Also, the letter goes on to talk about wanting to declare an open friendship with the united states, not an underhanded, quiet treaty.

The fourth article from the charter oath states that evil coustoms from the past shall be broken off based off just laws. Simalary the grant letter talks about revision of the unfair treaties and demands of the united states to be revised or ebolished and even sets a deadline on it when it says, “The period for revising the treaties now existing between ourselves and the United States is less than one year distant.” The two statesments coencide because they clearly don’t like the unfair rules that are set to opressing japan so they want to get revise or abbolish those rules/ laws.

  • Foundation Charter of Cluny: Source Analysis

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Foundation Charter of Cluny is a grant of authority written by Duke William I of Aquitaine and signed by Ingelberga and various other bishops and nobles. The charter was issued in the French city of Bourges and sanctioned by the Archbishop of Bourges. The Foundation Charter of Cluny was produced with the construction of the monastery of Cluny in 910 in Burgundy after Duke William donated a hunting lodge and the surrounding land to a monk of noble birth Mend Berno. Duke William constructed the charter in order to impose it on the monastery and the Cluniac monks allowing them freedom of control from other forces. The charter itself derived from the Rule of St. Benedict, which impacted monasticism greatly throughout the Middle Ages and was the base document for many later monasteries. The foundation Charter of Cluny was revolutionary in that it didn’t recognise the intervention of lay powers such as local landowners in the affairs of the monastery.

    In "A Charter of Privileges, “William Penn, the Governor, was writing a firsthand account about how he wanted his state to be governed. His purpose was to give the people a doctrine that they could look up to and realize what rights they had and what rules were in place. Penn allowed the citizens to worship without fear of religious persecution. He writes that the people shall.. [not] be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious worship place or ministry" (1). Penn talked about property rights, the process of forming an Assembly, how to appoint vacancies, and the rights of criminals. Penn makes it clear that nothing can change the Charter unless the Governor gives his consent. The document showed me how Britain still had power over the

    The “Gentleman of Western Learning” presents arguments centered around the political ideology of pacifism and can be seen as the “idealist” of the book, advocating ideas out of his time, seemingly to be a man of vision in today’s context. He proposes the abolishment of the Japanese military and believes that a moral defense built through the virtues of liberty, freedom, equality and fraternity would be more than sufficient to safeguard the nation’s shores and interests (Pg. 51). His cause for unilateral disarmament is indeed noble, though sadly, a pipe dream in his era.

  • The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    2464 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II April 17, 1982. Often referred to as the Charter, it affirms the rights and freedoms of Canadians in the Constitution of Canada. The Charter encompasses fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, mobility rights, legal rights, language rights and equality rights. The primary function of the Charter is to act as a regulatory check between Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments and the Canadian people. Being a successor of the Canadian Bill of Rights that was a federal statute, amendable by Parliament, the Charter is a more detailed and explicit constitutional document that has empowered the judiciary to render regulations and statutes at both the federal and provincial levels of government unconstitutional. Although the rights and freedoms of Canadians are guaranteed, Sections one and seven of the Charter permit the federal and provincial governments to limit the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Canadians. Section one of the Charter designated ‘Rights and freedoms in Canada’ states “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” This section is frequently referred to and better known as the reasonable limits clause. The second rights and freedoms limiting section of the Charter, known as the ‘notwithstanding clause’ is Section thirty-three entitled ‘Exception where express declaration’ declares

    At an early age, the Japanese children were educated and brainwashed into believing the words of scripture called, “The way of the subject”. This teaching claims that the emperor has the capacity, the power and the right to amalgamate the world under his rule while imposing and eventually tattooing extreme nationalistic and racist viewpoints on the Japanese public. These viewpoints combined with a raging hatred towards the “Old Order” fueled japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Document A asserts, “ The way of the subject is to be loyal to the Emperor in disregard of self,

  • Relevance of the Modern Hippocratic Oath Today

    After reading the classic and modern Hippocratic Oath, it is my contention that the modern vision is still applicable today. First of all, I appreciate the humility of the oath because this oath reminds physicians that they are caring for people not just illness: “I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability” (Tyson, 2001). Sometimes, patients get lost in the shuffle of medicine; they are much more than an illness and need to be treated as such. Patient centeredness is reflected in this oath.

    Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S Naval fleet at Pearl Harbor for 3 main reasons. Japan had a plan for global domination, and the United States was in the way. Japan was also aggravated at the U.S because the U.S.A had halted from selling oil and materials to Japan. Also, Congress’ decision to expand the U.S Naval fleet furthermore angered Japan. These 3 reasons are why the Japanese assaulted Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In Document A, The Way of the Subjects states that “An old order…(European and American)... is now crumbling.” The Japanese Empire hoped to create a New Order and come in the place of Europe and the U.S.A.

  • The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    1627 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enacted under the Pierre Trudeau government on April 17, 1982. According to Phillip Bryden, “With the entrenchment of the Charter into the Canadian Constitution, Canadians were not only given an explicit definition of their rights, but the courts were empowered to rule on the constitutionality of government legislation” (101). Prior to 1982, Canada’s central constitutional document was the British North America Act of 1867. According to Kallen, “The BNA Act (the Constitution Act, 1867) makes no explicit reference to human rights” (240). The adoption of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms significantly transformed the operation of Canada’s political system. Presently, Canadians define their needs and complaints in human rights terms. Bryden states, “More and more, interest groups and minorities are turning to the courts, rather than the usual political processes, to make their grievances heard” (101). Since it’s inception in 1982 the Charter has become a very debatable issue. A strong support for the Charter remains, but there also has been much criticism toward the Charter. Academic critics of the Charter such as Robert Martin believe that the Charter is doing more harm than good, and is essentially antidemocratic and UN-Canadian. I believe that Parliament’s involvement in implementing the Charter is antidemocratic, although, the Charter itself represents a democratic document. Parliament’s involvement in implementing the Charter is antidemocratic because the power of the executive is enhanced at the expense of Parliament, and the power of the judiciary is enhanced at the expense of elected officials, although, the notwithstanding clause continues to provide Parliament with a check on...

    ...high power status, Japan had to have a self-reliant industrial common ground and be able to move all human and material resources (S,195). Through the Shogun Revolution of 1868, the abolition of Feudalism in 1871, the activation of the national army in 1873, and the assembly of parliament in 1889, the political system of Japan became westernized (Q,3). Local Labor and commercial assistance from the United States and Europe allowed Japan’s industry to bloom into a developed, modern, industrial nation (Q,3). As a consequence production surplus, and food shortage followed (Q,3). Because of how much it relied on aid of western powers, Japan’s strategic position became especially weak. In an attempt to break off slightly from the aid of the west Japanese leaders believed that it would be essential for Japan to expand beyond its borders to obtain necessary raw materials.
