Civil ulydighed. I bred forstand har modstanden mod statsmagten antaget to hovedformer: Bekæmpelse af uretmæssige herskere - gerne omtalt som tyranmordets problem - og civil ulydighed mod enkelte love eller påbud med hjemmel i love.
Forskellen mellem disse to modstandsformer gælder hovedsagelig omfanget: Den første afviser al statsautoritet, så længe den er i hænderne på illegitime udøvere; Den anden vender sig først og fremmest mod uretfærdige love og tager sigte på at ændre dem gennem reformer indenfor det eksisterende politiske system.

In the history of American architecture and the arts, the American Renaissance was the period from 1876 to 1917[1] characterized by renewed national self-confidence and a feeling that the United States was the heir to Greek democracy, Roman law, and Renaissance humanism.

Utopias, past and present: why Thomas More remains astonishingly radical.
Thomas More’s Utopia, a book that will be 500 years old next year, is astonishingly radical stuff.
Not many lord chancellors of England have denounced private property, advocated a form of communism and described the current social order as a “conspiracy of the rich”. Such men, the book announces, are “greedy, unscrupulous and useless”. There are a great number of noblemen, More complains, who live like drones on the labour of others. Tenants are evicted so that “one insatiable glutton and accursed plague of his native land” may consolidate his fields.

His design of the second Vermont State House brought him fame and success, which eventually led him to become the first Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department. As federal architect, he was responsible for creating across the United States numerous custom houses, post offices, courthouses and hospitals, many of which are today on the National Register. His traditional architectural forms lent a sense of grandeur and permanence to the new country's institutions and communities. West Virginia State Capitol by Cass Gilbert.

Women in ancient Rome. The educated and well-traveled Vibia Sabina (ca. 136 AD) was a grand-niece of the emperor Trajan and became the wife of his successor Hadrian; unlike some empresses, she played little role in court politics and remained independent in private life, having no children and seeking emotional gratification in love affairs[1] As is the case with male members of society, elite women and their politically significant deeds eclipse those of lower status in the historical record. Inscriptions and especially epitaphs document the names of a wide range of women throughout the Roman Empire, but often tell little else about them. Childhood and education[edit]
