Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz." Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized Amer

ican Indian tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives. Additionally, the government decided to drop its plan to sell Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National Historic Landmark that sees more than a million visitors each year. But activists say their most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz put me back into my community and helped me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit.” Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint? Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because the demands of the American Indians were not met. It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark. American Indians influenced the US government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz. Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can best be handled by government officials.

The correct answer is C) American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.

<em>The statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".</em>

In the passage, the author clearly states that "...the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized American Indian Tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives." In another part of the passage the author says "...the most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves."

The author also quoted activist Jhon Trudell: "Alcatraz put me back into my community and help me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of spirit." That is why the statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".

Describe how the expansion of the electorate occured in the united states, through the five suffrage stages.
julsineya [31]
The first stage was based on religion and ownership of property. At first, only those of certain religious beliefs could vote but this was abandoned quickly and also only those who owned property could vote but this was abandoned too and a huge number of voters got their suffrage rights as not you could be from any religious background and social class and still vote

The second expansion occurred after the civil war. Following the civil war, the electorate got increased when African-American people were given voting rights. Although racist states found ways to legally disenfranchise them and prevent them from voting, they still had voting rights in theory and those in free states practiced them.

The third expansion was when women were allowed to vote when the 19th amendment was ratified and women were allowed to vote in all states. Before that, women could not vote and now they could which means that the amount of possible votes doubled since there is almost the same number of women as there is of men.

The fourth expansion happened when the civil rights struggle occurred and laws were introduced to prevent disenfranchisement of African-Americans. This brought a lot of voters from southern states where voting was not possible for them in praxis since they had to pass tests or pay fees or similar things to vote

The fifth was later when youth was allowed to vote. It was established that states may not raise the minimum age requirement for voting over the age of 18, meaning that all states had to allow all voters age 18 and up to vote if they wanted to. This brought a lot of young voters since some states made it mandatory to have a minimum of 21 for example.

joja [24]

The correct answer is C) wealth should be enjoyed by all Americans.

What Truman meant when he said “We have rejected the discredited theory that the fortunes of the Nation should be in the hands of a privileged few” was that wealth should be enjoyed by all Americans.

During his State of the Union Adress of 1949, President Harry S. Truman expressed the quote above. The economy of the United States was transitioning from a wartime to peacetime and people were demanding more jobs and the opportunity to improve their living conditions.

Harry Truman (1884-1972) became the 33rd President of the United States after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
