Question

*FREE MEDAL!*
Which Enlightenment Thinker (Ex. John Locke, Baron De Montesquieu, Etc.) Would fit the Mexican Revolution and explain how it fits it,
I don't know which one to choose I am closer to John Locke, because his theory was if theirs a corrupt government, overthrow it, but its on presidents.

Answer 1

@zepdrix @sammixboo @EclipsedStar @pooja195 Help

Answer 2

I agree in this aspect, since his philosophy was based on the "right of "revolution"...and the rest of the Enlightenment thinkers have analysis factors (such as Rene Decartes) so they don't add up.

However there's the president thing that doesn't really cue in because it was the dictator being overthrown...hmm

Answer 3

From what I've learned, the form of government being rebuilt is what Locke believed in. If one form of government doesn't work, then build a new one. The Mexican Revolution didn't result in that.

Answer 4

I checked up on all the other Enlightenment thinkers if there was a better alternative, but it seems that Locke is the main candidate. You could explain how the Mexican government was changed as a result of the people being dissatisfied, but I would keep the dictator out of the equation. xD

Answer 5

Lol

Answer 6

Also on the paper it says "or individuals who do not support"

Answer 7

You mean the individuals who did not support the Revolution?

Answer 8

I think so

Answer 9

I think the Locke path is easier.

Answer 10

Yeah, I would stick with that. Do you know what facts you're going to include?

Answer 11

Not really Sure, because this is just 1 part of my Essay Final

Answer 12

Out of 4 Paragraphs

Answer 13

Ah...I would not mention Huerta's time and the next presidents then, since they didn't exactly establish a firm government

Answer 14

But then how would you explain peoples dissatisfaction and how they were mistreated

Answer 15

All I know is that the whole issue was over presidency

Answer 16

Now that piece of information wasn't on the post XD

Answer 17

Still ;-;

Answer 18

That's a whole new topic altogether and you didn't mention it lol

I would write about Diaz's government then, how people hated the dictator's laws. There was too wide a gap between the poor and the few rich, and they plotted to end his reign because they couldn't feed themselves and their economy was in turmoil.

Answer 19

Where would I find specific information

Answer 20

That, and they were backed by a guy named Francisco Madero who challenged the presidency reign being too long (1876-1911)

Answer 21

But he got arrested LOL ;-;

Answer 22

Answer 23

Personally, I would use this site:

Answer 24

Yup thats one of my resources that I was given.

Answer 25

There were reasons that people disliked him .-. xD

Answer 26

Yeah, don't trust wiki ^_^

Answer 27

"violating the principles and ideals of the Mexican Constitution of 1857." Aha, that matches Locke

Answer 28

Now I am onto Anatomy of a revolution element
