Document Summary
Pols 1602 midterm essay notes: the growth of modern states, particularly in the west, proceeded from coercion to consent. Governments today must either generate enthusiastic obedience on the part of their citizens, or brace for serious threats to their legitimacy. discuss the four mechanisms (or. Noble lies ) that governments use to secure obedience from their citizens. For each of the four mechanisms, provide at least two illustrations of its use (you may draw from illustrations in class, assigned readings, or elsewhere). Use education, pop culture, media, monuments (brainwash/influence) Separation of church and state but still incorporated because holds people accountable. Taking oath into office for president, in god we trust on money: participation/representation. More likely to listen if people feel that their voices are being heard. Direct and representative democracy- just different ways of having voice heard. Was used to perfect the english government"s flaws: direct democracy pros- more interest in politics, power back to people, all.
