Answer:
The historical similarity between the concept of Manifest Destiny in the 1840s and the ideas that motivated European colonists to migrate to North America in the 1600s were based on the same ideology and philosophy. Europeans believed that they were divinely mandated to discover, occupy, and exploit North America and evangelize the continent.
Explanation:
Manifest Destiny was a concept coined and popularized by John O'Sullivan, through which President James Polk even fought the 13-years long Pig War to expand the United States territory westward, including to Oregon. Before this coinage was popularized among European colonists, it had been the standing policy of Europeans, who crossed to the continent, to occupy North America as a divine mandate. How the divine mandate was established remains questionable to date? Even, Native Americans were not spared; instead, many were driven away and many more were slaughtered in the process of this monumental land occupation.
Answer:
Answered below
Explanation:
If I were president I would make policies that minimize access to guns and ammunitions by most people. Following the recent incidents of school shootings, workplace shootings, church shootings, community violence and gun fights, it is clearly necessary to implement stricter gun control measures.
I would raise the age of eligibility to legally possess a weapon to 28 years old. Any person wanting to purchase a gun would be made to go through thorough questioning to access their psychological state. Background checks to ascertain the criminal history of potential buyers would be compulsory. Automatic and high calibre weapons would be banned. Open carry would be made illegal. I would make sure the number of weapons owned by one person is reduced to two.
With these steps we would see gun violence and shootings decline significantly. Killing of innocent children in schools, party goers, co-workers etc, by aggrieved people would be events of the past.
