Answer: [1] It addresses quality for all citizens.

Explanation:

     First, we need to know what the 14th Amendment says. The first sentence states "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

     This does not "claim to protect their lives" or "describe citizens of the country" so we are left with the first and the last option. Since this amendment does not promise equal protection, our answer is the first option. "It addresses quality for all citizens."

                 <em>The full 14th Amendment is below.</em>

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

Why was there so much new government policy during this era in American history? Was it necessary?
grin007 [14]
There are many reasons for the government to step in and create policy after policy during the Great Depression. The Great Depression was essentially caused by people buying things with money they didn't have, which in turn made the economy tank and made TONS of people poor and unable to purchase basic necessities. So the government created a the New Deal, which is essentially a ton of programs that allowed younger teenagers to work to help supplement the family, but also to build new infrastructure for roads, highways, dams, etc.. Without the new deal, and all of those policies we would've been unprepared for the upcoming World War 2

D) People emphasized obtaining knowledge through scientific experiments.

Bacon researched on people's enthusiasm to specifically see and recall occasions that affirm our convictions, suggesting that all superstition is much the equivalent in all of which the beguiled adherents watch occasions which are satisfied, disregard and ignore their disappointment, however it is substantially more typical. Research on this wonder is still directed today in current psychology.

Discuss the issue of containment during the cold war. What was the idea surrounding this policy? Who were the major players? Was
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Containtment is a doctrine that called for stopping and resolutely facing communist, Soviet expansion around the world through diplomatic, military and economic means. The author of the idea was a Moscow-based American diplomat named George Kennan, who published a mysterious Telegram X in the magazine Foreign Affairs in 1947. In it , Kennan - who wrote it anonymously - said that Soviet communism was an expansionist ideology that intended to get worldwide influence by exporting revolution around the world. The Cold War is a  period (1947-1991) dominated by the rivalry -political, economic and ideological - between the capitalistic and democratic United States and the communist Soviet Union. In the end, Kennan and his theory were proved right, it could be said, as containment and Eastern Bloc stagnation led to the collapse of communism; Western scholars and commentators state that the US and the West won the Cold War.
