History

shtirl [24]3 years ago

Jefferson: "The only way a republican government can function, and the only way a people's voice can be expressed to effect a practicable control of government, is through a process in which decisions are made by the majority. This is not a perfect way of controlling government, but the alternatives--decisions made by a minority, or by one person--are even worse and are the source of great evil. To be just, majority decisions must be in the best interest of all the people, not just one faction. "

aksik [14]

Answer:   The US has nine capitals before Washington dc. And they are;

<em>1. “Philadelphia, Pa” </em>

<em>2. “Baltimore” </em>

<em>3. “Lancaster, Pa” </em>

<em>4. “York, Pa”. </em>

<em>5. “Princeton, N.J” </em>

<em>6. “The Maryland State House” </em>

<em>7. “Trenton, N.J” </em>

<em>8. “Federal Hall in New York City” </em>

<em>9. “Washington, D.C.”</em>

Explanation:  

The United States Congress moved from “Philadelphia to Washington D.C. in 1800”. A few unique refers to fill in as the national capital during the early long periods of the United States. “In any case, in 1783, Congress chose the nation ought to have a perpetual focal point of government”. As you would expect, a few urban areas needed to have the administration, figuring the new capital would turn into a significant business and modern focus.  

In 1790, Alexander Hamilton recommended fabricating another capital ashore claimed by the national government. Congress settled on a zone along the Potomac River called the District of Columbia and asked President George Washington to pick the precise site. Washington settled on his decision the next year. It required Virginia and Maryland give some land, which they did, and the new capital was Washington.

Answer:

The Democratic Party was the result of the split that occurred inside the Democratic-Republican Party, established by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 1790´s, due to big differences in viewpoints on: slavery, equality and also the role of a centralized government over the power of individual states.

The Democratic Party thus, was born from the factions that broke off from the original Democractic-Republicans after the elections of 1824 and who followed the ideals of Andrew Jackson, especially on slavery and government involvement in all aspects of American life. Originally, this party had three tenets over which they were unified: slavery, individual rights and state sovereignity. In essence, they said they were the party of "the common man".  

However, after a good period of unity, and constant successes against the then opposing party, the Whig Party, differences began to emerge between the Democrat members of the North and those of the South, especially on the issue of slavery, and allowing this institution to spread to newly acquired lands. The crisis initiated in the 1850´s, when the issue of slavery began to rip the party appart into Northern and Southern factions. Democrats from the North were not open to negotiation of certain aspects with those of the South and the division happened. Thus, a group of Democrats, the War Democrats and the Copperheads.

The result of this split was not only the emergence of different groups, especially of those who, although Democrats, did not believe in any form of slavery, but also, the allowance of time, and space for the Whig Party to reorganize its efforts and become the Republican Party. This is the reason why Repubicans were able to reconquer the presidency with Abraham Lincoln, and why so many of the issues that Democrats opposed were able to take form as policies in the U.S.
