The Women's Christian Temperance Union wanted to make changes in society in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The idea was to get rid of alcohol as many of these people felt that it was morally hurting the society and making people bad individuals. Getting rid of alcohol eventually became the 18th Amendment, which was passed in 1920. A lot of the women in this movement were also supporting women's equality, and some of them also had a strong religious background.
Some people were not in agreement with this group as they did not agree with getting rid of alcohol in society. Some extremists like Cary Nation would go around with her hatchet to saloons, quote Bible scriptures, and then smash alcohol and liquor bottles.
The correct answer is the first amendment. It has the establishment clause which prevents the state from establishing any religion as the official religion of the country, making it completely secular. Any such attempt would be banned because it would be unconstitutional.
The correct answer is federal only
The federal government is the only one who has the power to respond to such situations. Countercyclical states are when the opposite of what is going to the economy is happening in another field. For example, unemployment is countercyclical because the slower the economy, the higher the unemployment. The federal government is the only one that can respond to this.
True.
Machiavelli read much in Marcus Tullius Cicero's writings and was influenced by Cicero, but Machiavelli's claim to fame stems from his own writing. His brief work entitled, <em>The Prince, </em>is looked upon as perhaps the first text of political science (as opposed to political philosophy). <em>The Prince </em>described the workings of politics as Machiavelli observed how things happened in Renaissance Italy. Machiavelli also wrote in the political philosophy vein with his longer work called <em>Discourses on Livy, </em>which examined the values of a republic-style government.
