Answer:

The correct answer is D. Before United States' involvement in World War I, American citizens wanted to stay neutral until innocent Americans were killed.

Explanation:

The United States decided to put aside its neutral position and enter the First World War for various reasons. Until that moment the United States had maintained its position outside the conflict under the command of Woodrow Wilson, who had avoided all the participation of the country, guided by his convictions, and resisting a strong internal opposition.

Wilson decided to remain outside even after the sinking of the Lusitania, but this would be the first of a series of events that would end up putting the United States along with the allies, just a few months after Wilson's re-election.

The German policy of attacking non-military ships with submarines had the most dramatic episode in May 1915, when a German submarine fired torpedoes without any warning at RMS Lusitania, a British ship dedicated to passenger transport.

As a result of the attack, which took place off the coast of Ireland, 1198 people died, many of them Americans (the ship was on the New York-Liverpool route). The public protests in the United States were very strong; the Germans decided to stop attacks of this type in 1916.

In spite of the strong rejection that that policy of German war had caused, in 1917 Berlin publicly announced that the attacks would continue but this time they would focus on merchant ships.

Behind this policy was the belief that Britain would capitulate if it managed to isolate it from the supplies that came to it from the United States. This decision would lead to the rupture of diplomatic relations between both nations on February 3.

The sinking was never forgotten and weighed in the minds of the Americans when, two years later, they decided to support the entry into the war.

The economic interests of the United States with the allied countries, especially Great Britain and France, weighed in the decision to enter into conflict. Until then, commercial ties had been maintained, since Britain had control of the seas and prevented ships from entering Germany. But once the attacks with submarines began to take place, the economic losses were incalculable, as well as the losses in human lives.

These, added to the deep indignation of the American people in front of the supposed cruel behaviors on the part of the German army, predisposed the population to support the armed confrontation.

Which of these was true about indentured servants in Jamestown?
Colt1911 [192]

The correct answer is B; They had few rights under their contract.

Further Explanation:

Numerous wealthy families had indentured servants in Jamestown. The people who were indentured servants all choose so willingly. Some of the reasons for becoming an indentured servant were;

  • they came to America free
  • free room and board
  • lodging and freedom dues paid for the workers
  • after their service was over they had a freedom package

The freedom packages included many incentives such as;

  • free land, sometimes, up to 25 acres
  • free corn for a year
  • new clothing
  • animals, such as cows or pigs
  • arms/guns

The indentured servants usually worked for an average of 7 years depending on the contract they signed. They were not slaves and were there of their own free will. They did get punished, many times harshly if a rule was broken. The contract could be made longer if a rule was broken, such as the pregnancy of a female servant. Indentured servants were both white and African American. The African Americans had the same contracts as the whites and were treated equally until slavery began and they lost their rights.

4- Going over the ratification debate between Federalists and anti-Federalist explain 2 main areas of conflict between these two
Volgvan

Answer:

Conflicts were regarding to the extraordinary power given to the president and the Senate which would have a tyrannical rule.

Conflict regarding the passage of the Bill of Rights.

Debates over ratification in the fall and winter of 1787 - 88.

Explanation:

According to the Philadelphia Convention - a new Constitution for United States provided for a strong government with an extraordinary amount of power given to the president and the senate. The Anti - Federalists charged that the new federal government resembled a monarchy in its concentration of power at the expense of liberty. The Federalists rejected the arguments of the Anti - Federalists by relocating it in the people. They on the other hand argued that since the constitution which represented the people had sought to instruct and control the institutions of government, thus all sovereignty rested with the people and that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights,

The Anti - Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

Under the leadership of Madison, the first federal Congress attempted to fulfill this promise and proposed twelve amendments to the Constitution. In 1791, ten of them were ratified by the states, and these became the Bill of Rights.

Current implications:

In the United States,

1. There is a federal court system.

2. The lower house represented the people; it became the civic faith of the United States to which all Americans must unquestionably adhere. The emergence of this rambunctious middling democracy was the most significant consequence of the American Revolution.
