What was the Sedition Act?

Social Studies
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is A. The Sedition Act made it a crime for anyone to cast the government into a negative light. Note that the Sedition Act was first passed 1798, during a time when the United States was at war with France. For fear that those sympathetic with the enemy may cause public unrest through spoken criticism of the government, the Sedition Act was purposed to stunt to free speech. Meanwhile, the Sedition Act would be re-enacted later in history during times of war, such as in 1918, during World War I. The purpose, therefore, was to lessen the danger of public unrest during times of war by silencing those critical of the government. Therefore, B and D have nothing to do with the Act and the act described in C is known as the Alien Act.

Shaun tends to binge-drink several times during the week, passing out in random places throughout his apartment. When confronted
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Shaun is using projection as a defense mechanism.

Explanation:

Defense mechanisms, just as the name states, are used when an individual is being confronted and this generates anxiety. In order to cope with that anxiety, the individual tends to make use of these as a protection or defense.

Projection is a defense mechanism in which an individual tries to <em>get rid of unwanted feelings and personal characteristics </em>and thus deposits or projects these <em>onto others</em>, in order to avoid hurting his/her self-image.

In this case, Shaun was confronted for his binge drinking and unable to cope with this, he projects onto his roommate and other individuals his age, saying they do it as well so he does not have to take the responsibility and doesn't have to <em>deal with the anxiety</em> the confrontation generated.
