Answer:  B. The US government exempted the Amish, who do not believe in government assistance, from paying Social Security taxes.

Alexis de Tocqueville's concern for liberty had to do with personal liberties -- with freedom of conscience and belief being protected in a constitutional republic.  By respecting the rights of the Amish to exempt themselves from the Social Security system, the government of the United States is allowing them to have liberty of their beliefs.  They don't pay into the Social Security system, and also do not receive benefits from it.  They choose to care for themselves and one another in the Amish community.

Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work was published in the 1830s.  Based on his travels in the early United States, he wrote <em>Democracy in America, </em>in which he detailed how a democratic society functions.

even though they were highly influenced by Egyptian culture, in what ways were the kushites able to hold on to their own politic
MrMuchimi
Here this might help you....

</span>
and this to....
 <span>The Kushites controlled the army once they had conquered Egypt and the Kushite king Piankhy became Pharaoh; the Kushites always provided the major portion of the army during a subsequent series of wars with Assyria for the control Syria. 

The Kushites were a warrior society, so that's how their soldiers were organized and fought, whereas Egyptian soldiers were professional regulars, a standing army. 

Egyptian military commanders were basically Kushite puppets, so there was some strain in the relationship between the Kushite part of the army and the essentially subject Egyptian contingent, as the Kushites always made sure they had the upper hand during the 90 years or so of Kushite rule.</span>
