Do you believe we have a true meritocracy in the United States? Why, or why not?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

We have limited meritocracy only

Explanation:

Meritocracy is a system where people are awarded benefits based on their merits, as opposed to their background or financial situation. Talent, effort and achievement are factors contributing to a person's success, and advancement in such a system is based on performance.

The American dream is based on meritocracy and many people believe in it. Some skeptics, forever, argue that merit is not enough today to determine a person's success. Big corporation can choose people they want to employ and the recruitment process is not always fair. Wealthy people can buy access to universities for their kids, denying others the chance to get in. Money and heredity play a more important role in a person's career advancement that their merits only, they say.

On what grounds did the Supreme Court assert the power of judicial review in the case of Marbury v Madison?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is... It is the role of the courts to interpret and apply the law, and the Constitution is the highest law. This all ties back to judicial review where the courts can label something unconstitutional also ties back to checks and balances where each branch has a specific power and job.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A) Russia

B) Germany

C) Rhine River

D) the Pyrenees

And this is the correct option for the question:

D) the Pyrenees

The Pyrenees by definition, are not part of the Northern European Plain because it is a mountain range. The Pryenees forms the natural boundary between the Iberian Peninsula, and the rest of Europe (Europe is also a big peninsula), where the plain is located.

Germany on the contrary, has around a third of its territory in the Northern European Plain, the Upper Rhine River is located entirely within the Northern European Plain, and most of Western Russia is located within the Northern European Plain.
