Answer:

The "liberal consensus" was the tacit agreement between the Democratic and Republican Parties in the United States Congress during the 1960s, through which they would support and approve bills related to social security, with the aim of guaranteeing better and greater rights to American citizens.

These policies were mainly promoted by Democratic politicians, who held the majority of the presidency during that decade through John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. But many moderate Republicans also supported these measures, being led by, among others, Nelson Rockefeller, then-Governor of New York, who drew support from East Coast Republicans for many of the Democratic Party measures.

What are 3 major factors why the Roman Empire fell? Explain what each factor is and WHY it contributed to the fall of the Roman

Mars2501 [29]

Great question.... First off, Rome started in the year 753 BC and ended in the year 476 AD almost 1000 year rein over Europe... That being said plenty of barbarian invasion hurt the empire (The Hunnic Empire). Also political problems hurt the empire, many politicians and senators were fighting amongst them selfs and huge civil wars broke out during the late 3rd and 4th centuries... Finally, I would say Religion might have played a role in the empire collapse. Since Jesus died on the cross many have spread Christianity across the empire, which some say was the MAIN reason why Rome fell....
