Answer:    Governments are instituted to protect citizens’ rights.

Explanation:  Enlightenment thinkers argued that the government was in the service of the citizen, and as such obliged to protect the natural rights of the people. This entailed a so-called social contract guaranteeing the natural rights of the people and a protective attitude towards the citizens, but also the duty of the citizens to support the government in their efforts to secure those rights. This also meant that the government would be replaceable if it did not protect the interests of the citizens until moral authority was secured that would legitimately protect the citizens, which again meant that the government had to be changed as many times as necessary, the danger would be present if this were not done.

It is a common misconception that the Emancipation Proclamation freed all of the slaves. What did it actually do?
GarryVolchara [31]
Despite that expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.

Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war for freedom. Moreover, the proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union army and navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.

How is parliamentary democracy different from presidential democracy?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:First, a parliamentary democracy is less likely to encounter gridlock than a presidential democracy is. In a parliamentary system, there cannot be a situation in which the chief executive is from one party while the legislature is (in whole or in part) controlled by a different party. This makes the parliamentary system more efficient.
