Yes, the current American tendency to blame the poor for unfavorable conditions is similar to racist attitudes of the past. Groups in power, whether by class or race, have always tended to attribute their issues to outside parties such as the less-privileged strata of society. For example, Hitler blamed Germany’s post-WWI economic and political suffering on the domestic Jewish population, encouraging the entitled and intolerant “Aryan” Germans. In America today, political groups that are composed of the most-fortunate demographics of society tend to blame the poor for high taxes and invasive social programs. As always, xenophobia against impoverished immigrants prevails and continues to perpetuate the use of “scape-goats” for economic and societal issues brought by other factors.

What were the causes and effects of the French Revolution,
leva [86]

Answer:

Although scholarly debate continues about the exact causes of the Revolution, the following reasons are commonly adduced: (1) the bourgeoisie resented its exclusion from political power and positions of honour; (2) the peasants were acutely aware of their situation and were less and less willing to support.

It was hoped that with the end of the monarchy there would be an end to the wars, unfair taxation and excess draining the French economy. The people wanted to improve their economic fortunes. Instead of improving, France descended further into corruption and chaos, and ushered in the rise of a new dictator -- Napoleon.

Why did Leopold want a colony of his own?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

King Leopold commonly believed that territorial expansion was essential to the creation of a strong state, and so he pursued Belgian colonies around the world. That said, not as an expansion of the Belgian empire, Leopold set up Belgium's first colony in Africa, but rather to add to his own personal wealth.

In response to the demand for internal improvements, President James Madison: signed into law John Calhoun’s bill for federally
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Called for a constitutional amendment to empower the federal government to build roads and canals.

Explanation:

During President Madison second term the US had grown rapidly, the nation had gone bigger and transport and communication across the territory became a challenge. 

New roads and canals were needed so the country could develop, Madison knew that. But he believed that the Congress did not have the authority to build them, so he defended that the Constitution should be amended so the federal government was authorized to build them.

Congress did not agree with that and did not amend the Constitution, instead, they passed the Bonus Bill, that was vetoed by Madison exactly because he believed that the federal government did not have the power to carry the execution of those powers.
