Answer:

<h2>The league believed the war was immoral and undemocratic.</h2>

Historical context/details:

The Anti-Imperialist League was established in 1898.  They viewed the United States' involvement in the Philippines was an act of imperialism.  

The central philosophical argument of the Anti-Imperialist League was that a republican government (such as the United States) cannot be true to itself if it takes over control of territories without the consent of the people in those territories.  In our own country's Declaration of Independence, you'll find these words:  "To secure these rights (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness), Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."  If we believe that about our own country, we need to apply the same principle to other countries -- such as the Philippines.   

That was the Anti-Imperialist League's contention.

What are 2 ideas that were stated in the Magna Carta that we still use in America?
statuscvo [17]

Recognized as one of the world´s first constitutions, the Magna Carta Libertatum, signed by King John of England in 1215, had major influence in the US Constitution, and of many other countries.

The article 39 of the Magna Carta states:

"No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions,  or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful  judgement of his equals or by the law of the land"

From this excerpt we can find a very similar text to the Fifith Amendment to the US Constitution:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a  presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval  forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall  any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor  shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived  of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be  taken for public use, without just compensation."

This idea of right to life, liberty and property, free from authoritarian attacks (without due process), derives from the Magna Carta.

The second main idea is more subjective: The US Constitution has a stance of untrust on the government and all centralized power, delegating it to the states or to the people. This also comes from the Magna Carta, the liberal constitution.

Other european constitutions, such as the french, that influenced most Latin American Countries, demonstrate a relation of trust and participation of the people in the government.

In other words, while Magna Carta is about protection from power, constitutions nowadays are about organization of power.

It was brutal.
I held my breath as i saw Spartacus swung his dual swords towards crixus' neck.
He missed.
His opponent is not a joke. The crowd screaming what they want the Gladiators do to one another. None of them are pleasant.
I was drown in my thought for only around 20 seconds, before i see Crixus knelt on the field, with Spartacus' swords piercing through his skull.

Which of the following characteristics are typically associated with an authoritarian system of government?
ale4655 [162]

I believe it's <u><em>C.high economic freedom</em></u> because as I've looked up online to back up my answer and for some info. It as said:

<h3><em>Authoritarianism, principle of blind submission to authority, as opposed to individual freedom of thought and action. In government, authoritarianism denotes any political system that concentrates power in the hands of a leader or a small elite that is not constitutionally responsible to the body of the people.</em></h3>
