The American Revolution caused a division between the British government and the colonies. The American colonists claimed that they were not represented in Parliament, so Parliament had no right to tax them. This issue was the source of the well-known phrase “taxation without representation.” Many of the colonists wanted their rights represented in the government. Today, there is concern that many people don’t vote, and only people who vote are represented by the government. In the last presidential election only 55 percent of eligible citizens voted. Why do you think voter participation is so low in the United States today? Do you think Americans still believe that it is important to be represented in government? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In short, many colonists believed that as they were not represented in the distant British parliament, any taxes it imposed on the colonists (such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts) were unconstitutional, and were a denial of the colonists' rights as Englishmen

How did George Washington discuss the dangers of rival political parties?


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Answers

Answer:

The Constitution that Washington helped draft in 1787, the Constitution our government still operates under today, makes no mention of political parties, and it clearly did not anticipate them. As originally ratified, the United States Constitution declared that the second-place vote-getter in the presidential election would serve as vice president. It was not until 1804, with the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment, that this changed.

Political parties as we know them today began to take shape while Washington was in office. By 1793 or 1794 there was an emerging split between two distinct visions for the future of the country. Groups calling themselves Democratic-Republican Societies began to appear in cities around the nation. They would form the nucleus of a formal, concerted opposition party, something that frightened many people, including Washington.

Explanation:

Washington warned in his farewell address that political parties would seek their own interests over the countries and that it was "truly their worst enemy."                                                                                                                   PLS BRAINLIEST

My chosen issue: Increasing the legal driving age.
Paragraph 1—Explain your perspective on the issue you chose. Write in complete sentences.


Paragraph 2—Describe a different perspective on this issue, one that differs from your own. Write in complete sentences.

Please make the opinion against raising the legal age

Answers

I do not believe that the legal driving age should be increased for all ages of people and due to geographical location, this could come as a disadvantage for many. Younger students and adults who live in rural areas would have to use public transport to get to school until they reached the new age. This could then become quite expensive and as school and university fees are extremely expensive as it is, this would be an extra expense that could go to more beneficial things. In the long run, having a car instead of using public transport would become quite useful because even though public transport is expensive, they might not go to the exact destination you require to go. This would then lead to extra travel expenses, as well as more of a hassle and extra stress - which no student ever needs. A simple cross-country train is anywhere from £40-£200+ and no student has this much money, especially in the current cost of living crisis. Young people are already struggling with high rents and the cost of education, they do not need the extra stress and financial problems due to the train fairs. If there were issues of pollution and people wanted to try and stop this cause by raising the legal driving age, then younger people could be encouraged to buy an electric car and could also be given financial help and support from the government to buy one.

However, the highest death rate for drivers is amongst the 17-25 age group, so raising the legal driving age, this would cut the number of deaths in young people and reduce the grief of family members. If this was to be raised, there would be a significant fall in fatalities arising from motor car use and this would have a significant economic benefit; more people wouldn't have to use an ambulance or be treated by the NHS, meaning the NHS's budget could be spent on treating people who's accidents couldn't have been prevented. There would also be significantly fewer drivers on the road, reducing congestion, reducing costs for firms, and ultimately helping save the environment as not as many petrol and diesel cars are polluting the earth. There would also be added health benefits, such as reducing obesity as drivers would be encouraged to use public transport which would involve walking to bus and train stations. People could also realise that for them, walking to their destination is less of a hassle than getting public transport so more people would end up walking.

Explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm taking the test right now and it seems like the most reasonable answer because:

1. We know for sure that they didn't ignore it, so we can eliminate the last two.

2. If you look back at notes you took, you will find that they did make a House of Burgesses to make laws, I'm not sure about the second one, but at this very moment the first one seems more reasonable.

Therefore, we can make an educated guess that the answer is A.

Create a list of three events related to westward expansion that affected African Americans. Review the lesson for compromises and consequences to help make your list. Events you should consider include the following:

Missouri Compromise
Compromise of 1850
Kansas-Nebraska Act
Dred Scott v. Sandford
Fugitive Slave Act
Nat Turner's Rebellion
Bleeding Kansas
Harpers Ferry

Explain the impact of each of the three selected events. Be sure to include how each event resulted in changes for African Americans.

Answers

The events related to westward expansion that affected African Americans are Missouri Compromise, Dred Scott v. Sandford, Fugitive Slave Act, Kansas-Nebraska Act and Bleeding Kansas.

Missouri Compromise became the first compromise in America between the states favouring slavery and non-slavery. Missouri entered as a slave state.

Dred Scott court case for freedom raised hostility between the South and the North related to slavery.

Fugitive Slave Act forced runaway slaves to return from the North to their masters in the South.

Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed Kansas to decide on slavery themselves.

Abolitionists attempt to destroy slavery led to Bleeding Kansas.

The given event Missouri Compromise had the strongest impact because it divided states based on slavery and free states.

Therefore we can conclude that option A, C, D, E and G are the correct answer.

Justifiable for the United State to drop the atomic bombs on Japan?

Answers

Answer:

While some argue that the use of atomic bombs was necessary to end the war quickly and save lives, others believe that it was a disproportionate and unnecessary act of violence that caused immense human suffering. The debate over the justification of the bombings continues to this day.

Explanation:

Answer:

The United States dropping the atomic bombs on Japan was not justifiable, since history has proven many times over that solving long term issues through violence will only most likely result in one of two solutions. The anger against each side lasts for at least as long as the issue was around. Or the other, it will be 'solved' for a short time, and even then will it only come back to more disagreements among the people, causing more violence, or better, just verbal debates and disagreements, although that rarely happens in large issues among nations.

When the US dropped the bombs, they were expecting a quick surrender of Japan, although it would have been better with less violence, talking it out, or even a smaller-range bomb, that wouldn't kill so much of the population and destroy so much land. The United States dropped the bomb for a personal benefit of a lower amount of American lives lost, contradicting the idea amongst most people to preserve all human life, and prevent death from occurring as much as possible. The action was personally considered an 'allegation', not legally, among many people; many others believe that it was necessary and justifiable. It would be difficult to gainsay others opinions on this matter, although you can certainly attempt to proselytize.

Partial Rebuttal for a more beneficial answer:

After dropping the first bomb, Japan had still not surrendered, enticing the United States to repeat the action. To have two bombs dropped on your own country after being warned would most likely make you want to surrender or obey the warring nation. In the end, it turned out to be a gain for the United States, and a great loss for Japan, basically the overall idea of the people of the United States.

How did the civil war effect the north and south? ​

Answers

Answer:

The Union's industrial and economic capacity soared during the war as the North continued its rapid industrialization to suppress the rebellion. In the South, a smaller industrial base, fewer rail lines, and an agricultural economy based upon slave labor made mobilization of resources more difficult.

For the south -2.3 million slaves were free with equal status with former slave owners. The south was also forced to reconstruct its labour system, that was previously dependent on slaves. There was poverty, with decreased production cash crops such as Cotton and Tobacco until 1879.

For the North-slave-based Southern economy was devastated by the war, the Northern economy benefited from development in many of its industries, including textile and iron production. The war also stimulated the growth of railroads, improving transportation infrastructure.
