How can citizens take direct action in legislation and state government?

History
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
3 0
In several states across the US, individuals can take direct action by using different procedures like recalls and referendums.

A recall is when citizens of a particular state want to remove an individual from political office. Several states, like Arizona and Wisconsin, will allow citizens to use this process. In order to get an elected official removed from office, a group must get a certain percentage of citizens from their state to sign a petition in favor of removing this person. If enough people sign, then there will be a general election in which all citizens vote on whether or not to remove the person from office.

A referendum, on the other hand, revolves around state legislatures making laws that must be approved by the citizens before being implemented. This makes it so that citizens have the power over certain laws in their state.

The main debate between the North and South in the years leading up to the Civil War was over A.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: B.  the spread of slavery into the West.

Explanation:

It was an established fact in the years leading up to the Civil War that the South was pro-slavery and the North was Anti-slavery and so both sides had arguments about the spread of slavery into the western territories as those territories gained statehood.

The South wanted slavery to spread into the territories so that they would have more states which would give slavery more representation in Congress and therefore keep the practice going. The North wanted the territories to be free for the same reason.

Which war led to the ratification of women’s voting rights, as it was the time women were significantly involved in the war effo
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

World War 1.

- Women worked in factories, business jobs, rallied support, addressed famine problems, and did more for the war effort after men had to leave their jobs for war. Since their posts became empty- but still needed filling- women worked instead. They didn't just work, they worked diligently and with skill. They built aircrafts, sewed uniforms, and did much more than anyone ever expected. President Wilson said "the services of women during this supreme crisis of the world's history have been of the most signal usefulness and distinction. The war could not have been fought without them or its sacrifices endured. It is high time that some part of our debt of gratitude to them should be acknowledged and paid, and the only acknowledgment they ask is their admission to the suffrage.

Why was the Haitian rebellion significant (and frightening to some) when it happened?
Vikki [24]

Haitian rebellion was a revolt consisting of 10,000 slaves approximately against the tyrannical rule of France that lasted long 15 years, it concluded in 1789. It was significant and frightening to some because the Haitians defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army and abolished slavery, becoming the only nation in the world established as a result of a slave revolt and the first Latin American country to successfully rebel against France rule.

France and other European powers feared that the black people's determination and success would serve as an example for others slaves and people under their dominion and tyrannical rule to rebel as well.
