"No government demands so much from the citizens as democracy and none gives so much back?" What does it mean/ analyze it

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The quote is by Irish historian and Politican James Bryce.

At the same time, Bryce is saying that citizen dedication to democracy results in benefits for the people: the benefit of political freedom and civil liberties, and also the benefit of a better life made possible under this political system.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in unconquered parts of the Confederacy. parts of the South already in northern hands. the border states of the Union. all portions of the United States.

Answers

Answer:

unconquered parts of the Confederacy.

Explanation:

Instead of genuine concern for equality and freedom, Emancipation Proclamation was more of a wartime measure to retain the Union. Lincoln implemented the Emancipation Proclamation only to the rebellious Southern states. The federal government had little authority or capacity to implement the laws since certain states had already seceded and the war was ongoing. Moreover, the proclamation did not extend to enslaved people, in the border states, which had not seceded but slavery was practiced there.

If you are caught plagiarizing, you can send us an explanation saying, "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake," and we will not consider you to have actually plagiarized.

Answers

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

If you are caught plagiarizing, you can send us an explanation saying, "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake," and we will not consider you to have actually plagiarized.

A. True

B. False

The correct answer is B. False

Explanation:

Plagiarism, which occurs if you do not cite sources or present ideas of other authors as your own, is not only morally incorrect but it is considered as a serious infraction. Due to this, in schools, colleges and other universities plagiarizing leads to sanctions such as negative grades and even suspension. Indeed, due to this, in most cases, plagiarism leads to a negative consequence, and using excuses such as "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake" will not prevent institutions from knowing you plagiarized or from imposing sanctions. Thus, the correct answer is False.

Read the passage below and then answer the question.
The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution assigns the state governments their powers. The
Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by
it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
What conclusion can you draw, based on the passage?

Answers

Answer:

The conclusion that can be drawn based on the given passage is that the Tenth Amendment restricts the power of federal government and enlarges the state government power.

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment in the U. S. Constitution was sanctioned on 15th December, 1791 in the Bill of Rights. The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution gives increased power to the state government than the federal government. This amendment gives power to the federal governent only in the areas that are mentioned in the Constitution.

The rest of the powers that are not bestowed to the federal government is sanctioned to the state government or the people. The 'powers' that the US Supreme Court specifies given to the state government are related to commerce, laws, familial relations, etc.

Thus the conclusion drawn based on the passage is that the Tenth Amendment gives increased power to the state government and also creates a balance between the powers of the federal government and the state government.

Answer: reserved powers to state governments is the answer <33

In 1919, Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles. Did the treaty reflect Wilson’s vision of “peace without victory”? Why or why not?

No. Although the treaty included Wilson’s Fourteen Points, other provisions made them redundant.
Yes. Several of the Fourteen Points became part of the treaty.
No. The other Allies wanted to punish Germany harshly for its actions.
Yes. Germany was able to negotiate a peace settlement without admitting defeat.

Answers

Answer:

No. The other Allies wanted to punish Germany harshly for its actions.

Explanation:

Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required "Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty required Germany to disarm, make ample territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers.

The treaty stripped Germany of 25,000 square miles (65,000 km2) of territory and 7 million people. It also required Germany to give up the gains made via the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and grant independence to the protectorates that had been established.
