Which statement best completes the diagram showing the development of modern democracy?

The correct answer is: "charters and constitutions place limits on leader's powers"

Charters and Constitutions emerge as supreme laws, because from their provisions the whole legal system of a country is derived, including the bills of rights, appointed as the next step in the democratic process. Constitutions establish the main principles of a certain democratic system such as universal suffrage or social contract. Provisions such as the division of powers limit the amount of power that might be exercised in a state by each of the three branches : legislative, executive and judiciary.

Some of their provisions that pertain to Constitutions had already started to be written down in separated codes in the former step of the democratic process <em>"the first codes of law are written down".</em>

  • Option A cannot be true as, by definition, a democractic country follows the rule of law.
  • Option C is not true either, because in fact most democratic countries have a representative democracy (citizens elect their representatives as rulers who will make the political decisions for them) instead of a direct one (citizens directly make the political decisions without intermediaries).
  • Option D is also wrong. In fact, some of the main democratic principles such as division of powers, universal suffrage and social contract have their origin on the Enlighment ideas which enhanced reason and the scientific method over religious beliefs and superstitions.

What is the process called when a bill becomes a law?
natali 33 [55]
According to the United States House of Representatives, the process when a bill is passed and becomes a law in print is called Legislation. A resolution is passed after a bill is proposed to the President for his approval. A bill and a joint resolution are also considered the same. Except that a joint resolution needs a vote from the senate and the House of Representatives and if voted for by the majority is sent straight for implementation and the President's signature is not needed.
A bill may be vetoed by the members or amended. It can result in a lot of debate before it is done either too.

Which of these statements would Winston Churchill most likely agree with?
pshichka [43]

The correct answer is Victory must be attained at all costs.

Churchill was arrested and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Pretoria, where he fled, walking 500km and insisted on staying in Africa, participating in several battles. This story made him a national hero when he returned in 1900.

He entered parliament in the same year, supported by the conservative party.

He married Clementine, and together they had 5 children.

In 1911, he took over as First Lord of the Admiralty, a highly prestigious position in the British Navy and in this post, during the First World War he was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli and Dardanelles campaign. Received on the peninsula by well-prepared Ottomans, the offensive resulted in the death of 50,000 British and French. Churchill was fired from his position at the Admiralty.

After the Russian Communist Revolution, Churchill was an active voice against the expansion of communism in Europe.

He lived a political decline in the 1920s and 1930s, experiencing relative political isolation, dedicating himself to reading and writing. Winston is the only British prime minister to receive a Nobel Prize for literature.

From 1933, during Hitler's rise to Germany, Churchill raised his voice against what he considered a serious threat.

He was constantly going public, suggesting English rearmament and preparation for an inevitable conflict. He criticized the government for its passivity in the face of Hitler's demands.

In 1939, England declared war on Germany after the Nazis invaded Poland. At the same moment Churchill takes over the Admiralty again, in the same position he had been years before.

In 1940, in the middle of a German invasion of France, Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister. His inaugural speech was simple: "I have nothing to offer, other than blood, suffering, tears and sweat."

What does the separation of powers ensure?
PIT_PIT [208]

The separation of powers was the first step to limiting power for one branch. The US built up their government based on the British, in which they had their version of Parliament, called Congress, the Federal Judge, or supreme court judge (as well as others, but we are focusing on the supreme court), as well as the executive branch, which is the President.

The next step was "checks and balances", which ensured that no one branch can be too powerful. The US president can veto Congress's legislation, Congress can override the veto, they can also impeach the president. The Supreme Court can rule laws unconstitutional, and change the laws based on what they think is constitutional.
