Answer:

A Direct Democracy allows for the people to vote on government issues as opposed to the less direct system where we elect representatives to do the legislating and law making for us in a representative democracy.

Explanation:

If the US were a Direct Democracy, you would essentially be cutting out the checks and balances of the legislative branch. The judicial branch and executive branch may have control still but in this instance, I believe that the people would replace the legislative branch having a direct vote and say in every issue that arises at the national level.

A Representative Democracy/Constitutional Republic like we have in the US allows for the people to vote representatives based on ethics, beliefs, or even simply political party affiliation for offices like senators and presidents.

These elected officials then carry out governing us- the population- by acting within the laws of the land which are already established and legislate to introduce new laws, bills, and ammendments to the constitution as the need arises.

14. What happened as a result of the so-called Intolerable Acts?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The Intolerable Acts were the American Patriots' term for a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. They were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance of throwing a large tea shipment into Boston Harbor in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of Colonial goods. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.

The acts took away Massachusetts' self-government and historic rights, triggering outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies. They were key developments in the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.

Which reform came about as a result of the progressive movement?
adell [148]

Answer:

direct election of senators

Explanation:

The Progressive Era heralded a period of activism and political reform in the United States during the late 80's and early 90's.

The Progressive era was meant to remove corrupt public officials from office, adressing issues caused by immigration, urbanisation, etc so that a more direct democracy would be enforced.

Some of the reforms that came about because of this movement include imposition of income tax, direct election of senators, laws to tackle election fraud, etc.
