In the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. witnessed a rise of public interest groups, due to the progressive spirit of the time where a good number of them established their offices after 1960 and opened their doors after 1970s. The interest groups comprised of:  professional associations, public interest groups, business and agricultural groups, labor groups, ideological groups, and public-sector groups. Several factors determined the growth interest groups in the United States. First, The U.S. is heterogeneous in several aspects: its geography, climate, economic potential, culture, ethnicity, and religions. The heterogeneity resulted in political, socio-economic and cultural divisions which led to the evolution of several interest groups, each with unique objectives.

Which statement BEST describes life in the Soviet Union under totalitarian leader Joseph Stalin?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

b.  Critics of the government were murdered or imprisoned.

Explanation:

Here is an in-depth explanation for my answer. These have neither dates nor real evidence to back them up, so you will have to find any sources to back up my claims on your own. You're also free to disagree or edit my take of Stalin's totalitarianism; my aim here is just to give a starting point for you to build off of and make your own.

a.  Peasants owned land that they could farm.

  • Communism and really socialism as a whole brought forth an idea that there should be no privately owned land; any and all land was owned by the federal government, and people simply used it. So, even with little historical knowledge on Stalinism, we can assume this answer is incorrect.

b.  Critics of the government were murdered or imprisoned.

  • Under Stalinism, there was no room for critique of government. Any party leaders and any critics of Stalinism with goals set on exposing corruption and flaws in current Soviet society were later found dead or jailed, peasants were imprisoned and put into forced labor if they went against the state and also sometimes killed off if they were thought of as spies. In the end, Stalin attempted complete removal of any opposition he may have faced, and used fear tactics to control the Soviet Union as its dictator.

c.  Voters could choose between candidates from two political parties.

  • Voters could not find any candidats that weren't already killed off by Stalin, so there was no one to vote for other than Stalin himself. Sure, they could vote, but there wasn't a political party other than Stalin's that could grab the brainwashed public's vote.

d.  The government set up a court system based on truth and justice.

  • If there was a court system to be found in the Soviet Union at the time, it was so unnoteworthy it may as well have not existed in the first place. The "court system" under Stalin rule was basically just an extension of Stalin's power, and Stalin always made sure that any decision was made with his consent or with his consent in mind.

Which action resulted in Kentucky taking a stand rather than remaining neutral
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Confederate forces invaded Kentucky

Explanation:

Since the beginning of the American Civil War, the commonwealth of Kentucky wanted to remain neutral in the conflict.  For some time it stayed out of the conflict saving it the death and destruction that came with the war.

However, things changed when General Leonidas Polk  from the Confederate army unsuccessfully tried to invade Kentucky. Once the attack was repelled, the governor of Kentucky asked the Union army for help.

This was welcomed by President Lincoln as he believed Kentucky to be very important if the Union was to be maintained.
