WRITE a blog post in which you explore the question: what 21st century issues would your philosophe find particularly intriguing? What ideas, dilemmas, and injustices (or, conversely, just fights) send them to cafés today?
The way the government is managed and arranged, Maistre would be very dissapointed because the Constitution and all of the laws are written, which he did not support. Maistre argues that constitutions are not artificial products but come from God, who slowly brings them to maturity. Therefore, God slowly brings out the rules that people have to follow, not humans on Earth. This is because he is a big supporter of Christianity and Catholicism. He highly supported Catholicism so he was obviously not a person who liked diversity. Since we now have a Democratic system, Maistre would feel obligated to rebut someway about it because he favored the hereditary monarchies. A hereditary monarchy is where the monarchs are all from the same blood and it is where the crown of the king is passed on from generation to generation. This is another example of how he would hate the type of government we live in even more.
