Jefferson delays mentioning the American colonies until late in the introduction. how does this delay affect his argument

History

I think that in delaying in mentioning the American colonies, Jefferson reveals his reluctance/lack of confidence in them and their fight for independence.

(*I didn't really know the context(I assume Thomas Jefferson), but just from a general character/human personality perspective, I believe this applies*).

Hope this helps! :)

- It draws readers into the argument and establishes that ideas apply to society.

At first, Jefferson talks directly about the problem. His goal is to make everyone focus the argument in a political perspective. After people understood this part of the argument, they would be ready to connect it with the context that was yet to be presented.

- It emphasizes that the principles involved are universal, not just American. 

At some point, he mentions what he called the "self-evident truths". That only means that what he speaks of is universal in his point of view. He points out the situation without connecting to their own situation before arguing about it because, at first, he wants everyone to see how wrong the situation itself is, to later say: "That's what is happening to us".

One of the earliest “hot spots” in the Cold War was in the European city of what
Damm [24]

Answer:

One of the earliest “hot spots” in the Cold War was in the European city of Berlin, Germany. This was due to the Berlin blockade by the Soviet Union in 1948.

Explanation:

The Berlin blockade went from June 23, 1948 to May 12, 1949, during which the western sectors of Berlin were supplied from the air by the Berlin Airlift.

On June 20, 1948, the Western Allies - after unsuccessful consultations with the Soviet Union - carried out a monetary reform in the western occupation zones of Germany (which, according to the original plans, was not to apply to Berlin due to its quadruple status). On 23 June, monetary reform was also carried out in the Soviet occupation zone, and the new eastern mark was to apply to the western sectors of Berlin as well: to achieve the financial and economic tying of the western sectors to the Soviet zone. The Western Allies therefore introduced the Western Mark in their Berlin sectors as well.

On the night of June 23 to 24, the Soviet command in Berlin responded by cutting off electricity supplies to the western sectors and, a few hours later, closing all land and water access roads.  Initially, the Allies were not even united in their future policy towards Berlin. Eventually, the American military governor of the city, Lucius D. Clay, gave the order to establish an air bridge (air corridors were not blocked).  

Almost a year later, when it was clear that the blockade would not achieve its original purpose of annexing the Western sector to Eastern Germany, the transit connection to Berlin was reopened on May 12, 1949, and traffic began to move back to the roads. The air bridge was officially closed on September 30 of the same year.

What is the danger possibility regarding individualism in a democratic society
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The individualistic and isolated people think of themselves only. They pose a threat of crime in the society. 
Individualism also brings a feeling of consumerism and desire of comfort in the people. To achieve this in an easy and quick way, they adapt wrong pathways. 
Individualism also makes people less connected to their families and they lack apathy towards other, which is harmful to a society.

11th and 12th amendments explained
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

11th Amendment- The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.

This amendment established the legal doctrine of "sovereign immunity", which protects government entities or officers acting in their official capacity from being sued over the performance of their duties. It was adopted in 1795 in response to a 1793 U.S. Supreme Court case, Chisholm v. Georgia.

12th Amendment- This lengthy amendment, adopted in 1804, revised the procedures for using the Electoral College to elect the President and Vice-President. Its impact has mainly been political - it affects the required qualifications of presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

The Civil War was on eof the defining events in the history of the United States. More Americans were killed in the Civil War th
statuscvo [17]
The Civil War occurred between the Southern and the Northern States primarily on the issue of Slave ownership and the economic consequences of ending slavery.

The economy of the Southern States were based on agriculture, which in turn, was based on cheap slave labor. For the farmers in the south, ending slavery could have meant ending their livelihood and hence, the issue was very dear to them.

On the other hand, the Northern States were more affluent and had a more industrial economy and hence, they could support ending slavery.


Advantages:

The biggest advantage of the Civil War was the subsequent freedom for all slaves across the United States. After the civil war ended it eventually paved the way for a civil rights movement which after a 100 years was able to provide universal suffrage.


Disadvantages:

The huge loss of life could have been avoided. Many women were left widowed and many children were orphaned.

It also left a rift between the northern and southern states, which till this day, sporadically spurs into the public.
