The iron curtain refers to the line that separated the Soviet satellite states of eastern Europe from western Europe. The term "iron curtain" was chosen to describe the degree of separation that existed between Communist and non-Communist states in Europe and to describe the repression and force by the USSR in the establishment of its sphere of influence. <span>I think that western leaders were so concerned about the Iron Curtain because it represented the Soviet Union's continued desire to expand, the threat of war with the Soviet Union, and the overall threat of Communism.</span>

The correct answer is D) The Selective Service Act increased the size and strength of the U.S. military.

The development that may have changed this perspective by the end of 1918 was the Selective Service Act increased the size and strength of the U.S. military.

The United States Army was not respected before 1917 in the international arena, as the German Officer quote says. But things changed after the signing of the Selective Service Act that increased the size and strength of the U.S. military. The Selective Draft Act was enacted on May 18, 1917. It allowed the federal government of the United States to organize a professional national Army to send it to World War 1. The act was drafted by General Hugh S. Jhonson.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The Arizona Leathernecks is a Motorcycle Club formed in 2000 by exmarines who share a bond forged by a love for their Marine Corps, families, brotherhood, and their love of riding motorcycles. They believe themselves to be the defenders of the constitution and as such honor the ideals of democracy, fairness, faith, and freedom. They believe that these values along with the basic concept of right and wrong are the cornerstones in building Marines and it is these concepts and values that their members are held to, and that serve as the core of their clubs beliefs and By-Laws.

2. Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

3. Patrick Henry

4. The Bill of Rights consists of 10 amendments that explicitly guarantee certain rights and protections to US citizens by limiting the power of the federal government. The First Amendment prevents the government from interfering with the freedoms of speech, peaceable assembly, and exercise of religion.

5. In July 2005, the Westboro Baptist Church declared its intention to protest at the memorial service of Carrie French in Boise, Idaho. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment, hence, hate speech is not regulated due to the robust right to free speech found in the American Constitution.

6. Brandeis reasoned that the rights of free speech and assembly are fundamental, yet they are not absolute. Their exercise is subject to restriction when free speech would produce, or is intented to produce, a clear imminent danger of some substantive evil to the society.

7. Gideon was charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit a misdemeanor, which is a felony under Florida law. At trial, Gideon appeared in court without an attorney. In open court, he asked the judge to appoint counsel for him because he could not afford an attorney. The trial judge denied Gideon’s request because Florida law only permitted appointment of counsel for poor defendants charged with capital offenses.

8. After the Miranda decision, the nation's police departments were required to inform arrested persons or suspects of their rights prior to custodial interrogation. Such information is called a Miranda warning.

9. Jessica Ahlquist an activist and public speaker filed a lawsuit in 2012 against Cranston High School West, where she was a student, to remove a religious prayer from its auditorium.

10. Thomas Jefferson

11. The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The Free Exercise Clause protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a "public morals" or a "compelling" governmental interest.
