Vlada [557]
Celebrations of the Chinese New Year by Chinese-American citizens in the United States are most likely to be the result of relocation diffusion. This is because Chinese-Americans have either they themselves or their descendants come from China and have integrated into American culture, identify as Chinese-American and are celebrating their culture in their "new" country where they have relocated, making the cultural diffusion a relocation diffusion.

How did Mexican independence encourage the westward expansion of American citizens?
Vinvika [58]
D) The newly formed Mexican government built an extensive network of trails and roads, allowing for easier migration by American citizens.
Although it is true that the Spaniards defended their borders very well, the fact is that America never tried to advance by force during the colonial government of Spain. The way in which America expanded to the west was slow and gradual, and as the United States grew in population and land, the new nation of Mexico was also modernized and its territories were populated, enriching, which aroused interest of the Americans by the territories of Texas, California, New Mexico.

Briefly explain how the Declaration of Independence reflects each of these principles:. A) popular sovereignty-. B) social contr
Oduvanchick [21]

Popular sovereignty is the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The Declaration asserts that to secure their individual rights, the people institute governments for themselves -- that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed."

The same phrase within the Declaration focuses on the idea of a social contract - that our agreement to live under a government is an implicit pact between the governors and the governed. Social contract theory was argued by English philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the 17th century.  American founding fathers took a number of their ideas from the political philosophy of John Locke.  Locke's <em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> put forth his social contract theory and design for a representative form of government.

We haven't yet addressed natural rights. The strong assertion that all human beings have inherent natural rights is asserted in the most famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, <u>that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,</u> that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
