Answer:

Explanation:

They both are right especially during the time of their presidency. Thomas Jefferson believed that a strong federal government proved itself to be a necessity although he probably didn't like the idea at all. After all the founding fathers tried the Articles of Confederation (ratified 1781) and found out that it didn't really work.

Eight years later, they wrote the constitution that we currently live under. The federal government was given a lot more power which it needed. That doesn't mean it was fully embraced. Just that it was the next step. If anything, for all Jefferson's idealism, he was a pragmatist. If it worked, do it and be content.

====================

Lincoln saw the whole situation quite differently. The Civil War began with the underlying cause of state's rights. Later on (1863), Lincoln turned to the question of slavery. There was a hole even in the 1789 Constitution and that hole came back to haunt everyone. The question was individual rights. Slaves. The south could not easily survive without slave labor and because slaves were expensive, they were more or less humanely treated.  After the Civil War, their condition was a nightmare. Lincoln address the entire question of what was missing in the constitution although he did not bring any amendments to correct what he knew had to be corrected. He may have done so if he was not murdered. As it was it was left to Johnson to bring in the 13th amendment, which abolished slavery.

Can you have a middle ground? because i would do middle ground. both jefferson and lincoln’s idea are very good, and both contribute to federalism. but if you would have to pick, i would go with jefferson because sometimes the federal government can become too involved? if you know what i mean

Find the value of the expression 2x4–5x3+x2+3x+2 for:<br><br> x=-5
beks73 [17]

Answer:

-8

Explanation:

2x4–5x3+x2+3x+2

Since the value of x=5

By putting the value in the above equation;

= 2(5)4 - 5(5)3 + (5)2 + 3(5) + 2

= 40 - 75 + 10 + 15 + 2

= -8

Therefore if the value of x is 5, the answer of the above equation is -8.

In the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, a wide variety of resistance movements across Asia and Africa fought against Europe
frutty [35]

Answer:

India's independence movement and revolts in Sudan.

Explanation:

These two campaigns are fought in all factors. The riots in Sudan were triggered by religion and brought out by violent processes. France had authority in Sudan, and the organizers of the faith-sponsored campaign attempted to overcome French rule. On the other hand, the old Indian freedom movement was not on a violent pathway. Civil disobedience, nonviolent protests were the main techniques of resistance. India's independence campaign is promoted by ethnicity and nationalism. So one campaign used violent and militant ways, while the other campaign used revolution and patriotism.
