Catherine Ross believes that freedom of expression is critical to the functioning of a democracy.

However, she states that the educational system of the country is failing to promote freedom of speech among students. She believes that teachers are not doing enough in order to respect students right to express themselves and even engage in acts that aim to restrain youngster's expressions.

As a result, students graduate from school with a notion that authorities are distant and would be reluctant to listen to people's views. This produces citizens that are uninterested in participating in politics.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "The Kansas-Nebraska Act."

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by the U.S. Congress on May 30, 1854. It allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. The Act served to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which prohibited slavery north of latitude 36°30´.

Is the division of responsibility for national security between the legislative and the executive branch a good idea?

Galina-37 [17]

It prevents despotism by the executive branch and watered down, compromised, indecisive governance by committee by the legislative branch so yes it's a good thing.

Who is Jacob rioss ? What was he trying to do for the immigrants living conditions? Help me and I’ll mark brainlilist :)

morpeh [17]

Explanation:

Jack Riis is a American newspaper reporter, social reformer and photographer.

These tenements were for poor immigrants that just came to the United States to start a better life. These tenements were overcrowded, unsanitary, and unsafe housing. At least 18 people lived in one tenement apartment. There were only two toilets stalled on each floor and one bathtub in the kitchen of the apartment. Jacob Riis did a lot of research and reporting of the conditions that immigrants faced such as work issues and living conditions. He wanted to improve the living conditions that these individuals had and address working issues.He possessed great deals of energy which is why he was able to expose as much as he did about the slums. Jacob Riis crusaded for the establishment of settlement houses, public parks and playgrounds, and other reforms to improve the lives of those in New York City's slums.

Hope this helps..!
