They responded with force and put down any unrest or uprisings.

Here are two examples:

June, 1953, East Germany.  Construction workers in East Berlin began the protests, demanding an increase in work hours and calling for a general strike.  The call to strike was broadcast over Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) in West Berlin and heard throughout East Germany.  Over a million workers in 700 cities and towns heeded the call to strike on June 17, 1953.  The Soviet Union responded swiftly and harshly, declaring a state of emergency and sending in tanks to larger cities where protests were occurring.
October/November, 1956 - Hungary.Protesters took to the streets in Hungary in October, 1956, demanding freedom from Soviet domination and more democratic political processes. Soviet domination and oppression continued relentlessly, as the USSR sent tanks and troops and crushed the Hungarian Uprising.  Thousands of Hungarians were killed or wounded and over 200,000 fled the country.

How did the proclamation of 1763 lead to the american revolution?
GrogVix [38]

On October 7, 1763, King George III issued a proclamation that forbade colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. In so doing, he hoped to placate Native Americans who had sided against him during the recently concluded Seven Years’ War. Enforcement was so weak, however, that it did very little to curb the westward flow of pioneers. Even prominent figures such as George Washington paid it no heed, except as a source of anti-British sentiment leading up to the American Revolution.

Great Britain’s victory over France in the Seven Years’ War, also known as the French and Indian War, gave it control over all of eastern North America. Most native tribes had allied with the French during the conflict, and they soon found themselves dissatisfied by British rule. In May 1763, just a few months after the formal conclusion of the Seven Years’ War, a pan-tribal confederacy led by Ottawa chief Pontiac rose up in rebellion. His warriors attacked a dozen British forts, capturing eight of them, and raided numerous frontier settlements. Hundreds died in the process. In response, the British handed out smallpox-infected blankets to Pontiac’s followers. Moreover, a gang of whites known as the Paxton Boys massacred 20 defenseless Native Americans who had nothing to do with the fighting.

In an attempt to prevent similar incidents from occurring, King George III issued a royal proclamation on October 7, 1763, which established three new mainland colonies (Quebec, West Florida and East Florida), extended Georgia’s southern border and gave land to soldiers who had fought in the Seven Years’ War. More notably, it banned colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, at least “for the present, and until our further pleasure be known.” Those colonists already there were ordered to relocate. Acknowledging that “great frauds and abuses have been committed,” the proclamation furthermore prohibited individuals from buying tribal territory. Instead, only the crown could now make such purchases. “We shall avoid many future quarrels with the savages by this salutary measure,” said General Thomas Gage, who commanded all British forces in North America.

The British made a perfunctory effort to enforce the proclamation, periodically stopping settlers as they headed west and forcibly removing others. On one occasion, redcoats from Fort Pitt in present-day Pittsburgh even burned the huts of some nearby pioneers and escorted them back across the boundary. For the most part, though, colonists disregarded the proclamation without fear of punishment. Some wanted only enough land for themselves and their families, whereas others were speculators looking to make a hefty profit down the road. George Washington, for one, wrote to his agent in 1767 in support of illegally buying as much Native American land as possible. The Proclamation of 1763 will soon be revoked, Washington explained, because—“this I say between ourselves”—it was only meant “as a temporary expedient to quiet the minds of the Indians.” Other famous speculators included Patrick Henry, best known for his “Give me liberty or give me death” speech, and Henry Laurens, who later served as president of the Continental Congress.

Washington’s prediction proved prescient the following year, when the British

What is Washington’s position on American slavery
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Throughout the 1780s and 1790s, Washington stated privately that he no longer wanted to be a slaveowner, that he did not want to buy and sell slaves or separate enslaved families, and that he supported a plan for gradual abolition in the United States. Yet, Washington did not always act on his antislavery principles.

In which way did the amendment process for the constitution differ from that of the articles of confederation?
uysha [10]

Constitutional amendments required a three-quarters state majority, while amendments to the Articles of Confederation required a unanimous state vote.

A constitution is a set of basic principles or established precedents that form the legal basis of a political body, organization, or another type of body and generally determine how that body is governed.

When these principles are set down in a single document or set of legal documents, we say that these documents embody a written composition. When brought together in a single comprehensive document, it embodies a codified constitution. The British Constitution is a striking example of an unwritten constitution. Instead, much of the underlying law of legislatures, judicial proceedings, or treaties are written.

The legislation affects different levels of organizations, from sovereign states to corporations to unincorporated bodies. The treaty that establishes an international organization is also its constitution, as it defines how that organization is structured. Within a state, the constitution defines the underlying principles of the state, the process by which laws are made, and by whom. Some constitutions, especially codified ones, also act as limiters of state power, setting limits, such as fundamental rights, that the rulers of the state cannot violate.

What are some differences between the real West and the mythic West of popular culture
slava [35]

Life in Real West was difficult.

The real west was like everywhere else in that being a mining town, it was dirty, rough and dangerous. The town was populated by workers in search of silver and gold thus cases of women abuse and child negligence was common. Some women sold their bodies for money. In addition to that, cases of diseases outbreak were also experienced where kids died of measles, chickenpox and accidents. Moreover, the houses were made out of dirt, with dirt floors thus everything was unpleasant and life was very difficult. There was no presence of running water thus taking a hot bath was a challenge and laundry took more than a day to be completed. In general life in the real West was difficult and nothing like what was on the movies that presented the mythic west were open fields, ranches and cowboys were present.
