The correct answer is A) it provides anyone from any background the possibility of success through hard work.

American has been referred to as "the land of opportunity" because it provides anyone from any background the possibility of success through hard work.

That is the reason why this nation was formed by immigrants from the very beginning. Let's remember that the first colonists in the North American territories to settle in this land were English people that wanted to improve their lives and work the land. They founded the first colony of Great Britain in America in 1607, Jamestown, Virginia. And form there, the other colonies were settled in by Europeans. During the Industrial Revolution, millions of people from Europe and Asia emigrated to the United States to start a new life and they stay because the country offered anyone from any background the possibility of success through hard work.

Rodney King case illuminate the differences between how black and white Americans saw the police and the justice system is explained.

<h3>What was Rodney King case?</h3>

The Rodney King case illustration, that the police profit from a double standard when defining illegal activity, which causes minorities to have a negative perception of the police.

Some key feature of this case are-

  • As the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of the white police officers accused of beating the black motorist showed, this cynicism can lead to civil unrest.
  • Only the serious possibility of criminal prosecution will have an influence on police wrongdoing because civil lawsuits and civilian review boards have failed to stop police brutality.
  • The existing situation, in which almost all prosecutors choose not to launch a meaningful challenge to widespread police brutality, may be improved with citizen access to a grand jury.

Flauer [41]
Causes: 1) Great Britain issued trade restrictions meant to disrupt trade between the U.S. and France.
2) Great Britain provided support and weapons to Native Americans to attack American settlers.
3) GB controlled Canadian regions and Americans wanted to expand territory.
4) GB forced Americans on vessels into the British military and were considered subjects of the King.
5) GB refused to surrender western forts even though they promised to do so in the Treaty of Paris after the Revolutionary War.
(America declared war on Great Britain)
Effects: 1) The Federalist party declined because they did not support war with Great Britain.
2) British colonies/settlements remained in Canada and prevented the possibility of Americans pursuing Canadian territories.
3) Americans became more nationalist and united during the war.
4) James Monroe created a foreign policy for America called the Monroe Doctrine after the War of 1812.

meriva

Answer:

d. he made sure that it was more democratic than Massachusetts Bay.

Explanation:

Roger Williams was the founder of the Puritan settlement of Rhode Island. This was an outcome of his attempt to make bring about a separation between the church and the state in asserting their powers.

Banished from the Massachusetts's Bay Colony due to his opposition about the government's confiscation of Indian lands from the people, he caused the church to condemn him which led to his banishment. Finding it hard to live where there is less religious freedom and tolerance, he moved to Rhode Island and founded the state of Rhode Island. This place became a haven for all believers, including Jews, making sure that there is a more democratic form of authority. He made it mandatory that there is a definite separation of the church and the state, which later became the basis of the Constitution of the United States.
