He was a skilled and one of the greatest orators in the United States history, giving hundreds of speeches that are still studied for their oratory and eloquence powers. In his speeches Lincoln defined democracy as the equal rights and equality of opportunity. However, he made a difference between basic natural rights like freedom from slavery and political and civil rights such as voting.

One of his most important speeches, was the one delivered after the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, in this speech not only he quoted that "<em>all men are created equal</em>", but also that "d<em>emocracy is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people</em>", meaning that is the people who confer higher power and exercise it directly or by their elected representatives under a free electoral system.

URGENT<br><br>List some of the weaknesses of the Triple Alliance.​
Alla [95]

Answer:

The Nations in it

Explanation:

First of all, the triple alliance was an alliance made up of Austria Hungary, Germany, and Italy, but this was a defensive pact. So when Austria Hungary caused world war 1, Italy didn't join because Austria Hungary was acting like the aggressor, and later on Italy joined the allies against Germany and it's allies, so that's one of the weaknesses. This then left Germany and Austria-Hungary together, but the thing though was that Austria-Hungary was a super multiethnic empire and had too many revolts and uprisings, so this only left Germany, which was the only empire who performed well in the war, and that's another weakness.
