Okay, so, just from the top of my head, I think that it is because of the growing belief of "Manifest Destiny" in the nineteenth century. I'm not sure if this is the actual right answer for your question, but I do know that Manifest Destiny was in the nineteenth century and was the widely held belief in the USA that American settlers were destined to expand through out the continent. And I think both the USA and Europe wanted to expand, it was kind of a copetition/conflict they had. This was actually how Canada and Alaska came to be I believe. This was a simple explanation btw. cx

harina [27]

Answer:

Yes, the message of Universal rights was not in support of the women in France.

Explanation:

In 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared openly the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, involving 30 rights and freedoms.

The declaration says, among other things, "law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to participate in its formation…All citizens are equal before it."

In contrast, France, at the time when they are operating a constitutional monarchy, had an estimated three million nationals unable to pay the due tax, involving men, women, and those below the age of 25years were restricted from the voting process.

deff fn [24]

Answer: William Jennings Bryan

Explanation:

William Jennings Bryan was a Nebraska politician who was nominated by his party, the Democratic party, to be their Presidential nominee in 1896 after he gave a rousing speech which today is known as the Cross of Gold speech in support of the bimetal/silver standard.

The standard called for the use of both gold and silver to back the American dollar as opposed to using just gold and was strongly supported by the lower and some middle class. The standard however would have brought high inflation as well as making it harder for the US to trade with other countries.

William Jennings lost the election and the US continued with the gold standard.
