1 answer:

3 0

Hey there!

The Watergate scandal was a scandal and break-in by members of the Democratic National Committee headquarters. It is important to learn about because it was one of the first presidential scandals where people were actually convicted and jailed. It shows us the first president that was on the verge of impeachment- that was disliked by so many- and resigned.

It is also history. The reason this is important because as we all know, if we don't learn history, we're doomed to repeat it. If we learned from this incident and realized that lying and committing such a horrible act only digs you into a deeper hole.

Hope this helps!

Woodrow Wilson claimed his place within the Progressive movement with his economic reform package, "the New Freedom." This agenda, which passed congress at the end of 1913, included tariff, banking, and labor reforms and introduced the income tax. Wilson also expanded the executive branch with the creation of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service. His emphasis on efficiency and bureaucracy fit him squarely within the Progressive movement.

Help me plss i just need the answer for 3

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1. sense of grwat pride over their country 2. Keeping things how they are sacred /important 3. It can also create false superiority and tyranny.

Explanation:

1. in image A we get a clear sense of how the French celebrate each year to mark the French revolution. this establishes a sense of pride because by looking into the context of the photo and hsitory behind it, if the people make a holiday and do a great celebration to mark this day and it is celebrated with every citizen you get that's end often unity and joy that each person feels as they await for that day.

2. While it does create unity, image 2 depicts the idea that it can also cause some controversy. the context is that in Indja they peacefully decided to rebel against British Rule. By the people of the country rebelling it supports the idea that keeping things the way they were, were considered important because people feel the need to keep the cou tey the way it is and preserve it, for what they considered was the time in which their cou try is at its finest point.

3. finally it causes a false sense eof superiority because in image three we are clearly given the context that Germanh blamed their problems on those of other groups. Meaning that, they hold their country in high standards which can theorize the thought that they believe that they can do no wrong because they are the highest fo the highest nd have better power and anyone who is considered below them must be the reason fo their falling short.
