Answer:

In a direct democracy all citizens meet together and make decisions via a vote. In a representative democracy citizens elect leaders who make decisions on their behalf. A republic who is ruled by a official is a form of democracy.

The correct answer is A. Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy.

Explanation:

Democracy is a type of political system in which the decisions are directly or indirectly made by the citizens. Due to this, democracy can be classified as direct democracy if the citizens are the ones that vote to made the decisions as it occurs in town meetings in which people from a community gather and directly decide on issues of the community or as indirect democracy in the case citizens select representatives that should defend citizens' interests and decide on issues as it occurs in the case of presidents, governors, mayors, etc.

Thus, the main difference between these two concepts is that in representative democracy citizens elect leaders, while in direct democracy citizens directly decide (Option A).

Which feature of the Declaration of Independence is NOT emphasized in the South Carolina Declaration of Secession? a) the inalie

liraira [26]

Answer: a) the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Explanation:

The State of Southern Carolina began it's Secession Declaration by stating that... "deems it due to herself, to the remaining United States of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act". This invalidates option D because they believe themselves obliged to declare their reason for seeking independence.

The Declaration then speaks on the notion that Governments are established by humans to aid them to certain ends. End which if not met, constitute a just cause to remove the Government from power. This invalidates option B.

In the last part of the Declaration, South Carolina alluded to its reasons for seeking independence being that the Northern Non-slave states had violated statutes that required them to return slaves who escaped from a slave state. This invalidates Option C.

Option A was never alluded to in the Secession Declaration of South Carolina and little wonder why. As a state that was in support of slavery, to maintain that all people had the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they would have been invalidating the institution of slavery and so they abstained from emphasising it.
