1777 and was amended in 1778 and 1779. (This is in the US)
Answer:
The right answer is:
A. increasing mistrust of the government.
Explanation:
The credibility of the political system and of the political class was undermined by both events. Since JFK, the successive administrations did not tell the whole truth about the war in Vietnam, they kept telling the pubic America and her allies were winning the war; that perception was brutally challenged by the 1968 Tet Offensive by the Communist Viet Cong in South Vietnam, a military setback but a great coup d´image for the Vietnamese guerillas fighting the pro-American regime. So, in 1969, Richard Nixon was elected under the promise he´d extricate the USA from the Southeast Asian nightmare with honor. The Watergate scandal of 1972-1974 severely eroded the aura and prestige of the presidency, as Nixon´s lies and justice obstruction became public. It ended with his resignation from the presidency.
Answer:
In 1670, there was not a country called the United States of America, but there was only a collection of British colonies which weren´t free; they were under the authority of England´s crown. In 1860, the USA was a well established independent and democratic country, despite the deep political and social divisions of the time that would lead to the Civil War. The nation had its Constitution, citizens´rights (it is true not all people could enjoy them because of slavery) and separation of powers. There were regular elections for president and Congress. Unfortunately, the democratic progress of the USA did not benefit all on an equal basis in the 19th century and good part of the 20th century. Even after the Civil War, the passing of the 14th Amendment and other laws, real legal equality was not achieved. Southern states approved legislation that impeded the effective use of African American rights to vote. So, democratic evolution hasn´t always generated benefits to all, but there´s been significant improvement since the 1960s.
