I think this is more of a critical thinking question so here we go:
The citizens feel it is important to have more power than the government because we don't want to feel left out of decisions that will affect us directly. The government makes the citizen feel that they have an active participation in the decisions they make when they really don't. I mostly think that citizen power is all an illusion.
World War I was the most destructive conflict in human history, fought in brutal trench warfare conditions and claiming millions of casualties on all sides. The industrial and technological sophistication of weapons created a deadly efficiency of mass slaughter. The nature of the war was thus one of attrition, with each side attempting to wear the other down through a prolonged series of small-scale attacks that frequently resulted in stalemate.Though the origins of the war were incredibly complex, and scholars still debate which factors were most influential in provoking the conflict, the structure of the European alliance system played a significant role.<span><span>^1<span><span>1</span><span></span></span></span>start superscript, 1, end superscript</span> This system had effectively divided Europe into two camps, based on treaties that obligated countries to go to war on behalf of their allies.In the immediate aftermath of the war, American and European leaders gathered in Paris to debate and implement far-reaching changes to the pattern of international relations.<span><span>^2<span><span>2</span><span></span></span></span>start superscript, 2, end superscript</span> The League of Nations was seen as the epitome of a new world order based on mutual cooperation and the peaceful resolution of international conflicts.
The correct answer is Kansas.
In 1854, Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This law allowed citizens of Kansas to vote on whether or not they wanted slavery. This law worked horribly and caused a significant amount of violence in Kansas.
The law became controversial because citizens who did not want slavery argued that the election was rigged, as individuals came from Missouri to vote for slavery. These claims caused controversy between the people who wanted Kansas to be a free state and those who wanted it to be a slave state. This resulted in essentially a small civil war. This era in Kansas history became known as "Bleeding Kansas."
It would be a "courtier" that is a term used to describe a person who served a ruler or prince, although it should be noted that it has more of an association with kings and queens than with princes.
