Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
5 0

The reason why sociologists say that <u>race is a social</u> construction is because what it means to be "white", "black", "Latino", "Asian", etc., is defined according to culture, time and the place. The meanings of these categories are changed over time. However, what does not change is that the racial groups are placed in a hierarchy, with white people or with lighter skin in the upper part; people of non-indigenous color subjected to people with lighter skin; Black and indigenous people in the lower part of the racial system. race is an externally imposed social category. Unlike ethnicity, which describes both aspects of ancestry as well as culture and personal identification, race is ascribed by society.

Which point best highlights why the US government has limited power?
Alisiya [41]
  US government has a limited power because it cannot do certain things, and specifically it is not allowed to breach certain individual freedoms: so it can be said that the motivation for a limited government is to protect individual freedoms.

See for example the text of the first amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" - this limits the power of the government so that people have a freedom to practice their religion.
