ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
8 0

In this text, Thoreau wanted to explain why he believed that civil disobedience was sometimes an appropriate response to government actions. Thoreau deeply disagreed with the government in the topic of slavery. He also disagreed with the actions that the government had conducted during the Mexican-American War. In this text, he wanted to explain how his own principles commanded him to do what is right, and he cannot do this and also follow the laws of government. Therefore, he choses to follow his own conscience and practice civil disobedience.

Answer:

A representative democracy is a system of government where citizens elect representatives to vote on laws on their behalf. A direct democracy is one where citizens vote on every issue themselves. The key difference between the two systems is who is voting on laws, elected officials or the citizens.The Founders of the United States had to decide how much say the people would have in their government. After escaping British rule, they wanted the people to have representation, but they were also concerned that the average citizen wasn’t educated enough to vote properly. They decided to balance both interests and choose a system where the people would select officials that would vote for them. However, they didn’t necessarily have to design the government this way. The American people could have voted on laws and issues themselves instead of through a spokesperson. These two systems are called a representative democracy and a direct democracy, respectively.Representative democracies like the United States have their pros and cons. On the one hand, the US is very large, and less than half of all Americans vote in any given election. This means that it could be difficult to consistently contact the entire nation for votes, though technology has certainly made the idea far more possible. The main question is whether or not the public would engage in the process properly. People lead very busy lives, and much of the voting would require research, especially complicated problems dealing with subjects like the economy or foreign relations, where ordinary citizens don’t have much experience.    

However, convenience comes at the price of control. Electing officials to vote for you is riskier than voting yourself; you never know what other factors are playing a role in their decision. Campaign money, wanting to be reelected, and personal morals could all cause a divide between what the people want and what an official votes for. Additionally, when one representative speaks for a whole group of people, some minority voices will inevitably be overpowered. In a representative democracy, it is harder for the people to assert their power. So, every citizen needs to take voting seriously and make their voices known to their local and state elected officials.

1. Which element of plot matches the definition?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Resolution.

Explanation:

The exposition is the beginning and introduction of all elements in the story, e.g., "<em>Romeo and Juliet's families are enemies, but Romeo and Juliet meet at a party and like each other."</em>

The rising action is when some events start complicating things and revealing the conflict in a plot, e.g., "<em>Romeo visits Juliet on a balcony one night, and then she sends a message to him through her nurse. They meet and secretly wed without their families' knowledge. Romeo kills Juliet's cousin Tybalt, and he is exiled. Juliet's father orders her to marry someone else. Juliet fakes her death, sending a message to Romeo to let him know, but he hears of her death and doesn't get the message." </em>

The rising action that triggered the conflict of the story and led to some other complicated events was that first visit to Juliet in her balcony.

The falling action is when the events and the conflict start falling into pieces. It is usually the preface of the resolution and happens after the climax, e.g., <em>"After their deaths </em>(climax)<em>, the two families mourn Romeo and Juliet."</em>

The resolution of a plot is the conclusion of the story and its conflict. All the events in the story reach an outcome, e.g., <em>"Romeo and Juliet's deaths have ended their families' feud and there is peace in Verona." </em>

The second, third and fourth ones do not match the definition while the first one does. Therefore, 'resolution' is the correct answer.
