Founding Fathers: Age of Realism

After a difficult revolution, the United States has the opportunity to establish its own government. The founder's father did not want to create another monarchy, but founded the Republic or the representative government. Organizing the Constitution is to enact legislation for the government and people. The founder's political theory is the opposite of the American democratic belief. It analyzes the founder's father's philosophy, including government stability, republicanism, and humanity.

As early as the father of the founder, the term 'realism of common sense' was abandoned in both philosophical and political fields. It is from the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Thomas Reid and declares that "the first principle of all science is commonsense guidance and open to all." We understand the founder, the declaration, and the purpose of the Constitution. The important thing is that their argument to the self-evident truth is to show that their deliberations are deeply influenced by Thomas Reid's idea

Realism encompasses various ways and assertions to have a long traditional theory. Among its founder, Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes are the most frequently mentioned names. The classic realism of the 20th century was replaced mainly by neo-realism. It tried to establish a more scientific approach to international relations. Both classical realism and neo - realism are criticized by IR theorists who represent liberal, critical, and post - modern perspectives.

Realism or classical realism is the way of international relations research and practice. The core of realism is the survival of the country and the country. Han J. Morigenhau, a leading realist thinker in the 20th century, says: "Politics is a fight against human rights, power is its direct goal." () From this theory, the key to international policy is to protect and defend the interests of the country against world politics. This objective includes advanced political concerns to ensure the survival of the country. Security is essential and political goals in the fields of wealth, economic growth and power are low. When developing an international policy, the decision maker of the government will evaluate each option and maximize its benefits or choose the option to minimize the costs associated with achieving the goal.
