Correct answer: GLITTERING GENERALITIES

Explanation:

As defined by Richard Nordquist, writing for ThoughtCo, "A glittering generality is a vague word or phrase used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information."

In the political candidate's promise, "peace, prosperity, and progress" are all vague terms, without specifying how exactly the candidate will work to achieve those goals.   Offering glittering generalities is not wrong, but if there are no concrete action plans or details provided, then the phrases are only propaganda.

As to the other items listed, here are quick definitions of how those forms of propaganda work:

  • Bandwagon = giving the impression that everyone else is jumping on board with this program or movement, so you don't want to miss out.
  • Card stacking = when a political candidate rehearses all his accomplishments but leaves out any items that would show his weaknesses or failures.
  • Plain folks = presenting oneself as a "regular guy" or gal, a person of the people, just like the average voter (even if that's not really true of the identify of the candidate)

What were some of the “time bombs” being experienced by the states under the Articles of Confederation?
Luden [163]

The "time bombs" being experienced were the risk of chaos as there was no central power with the federal government and states could have broken to their own. Because of the decentralization of power it was very difficult to collect taxes and keep the government going smoothly, the trade was difficult between various states and all of these were real threats at that time.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

5 reasons on why the Declaration of Independence was the most influential turning point in American history.

Explanation:

1-The Declaration of Independence signaled the formal beginning of the Revolutionary War, with the Thirteen Colonies separating from Britain.

2- This was the "first" major document that the colonies made together which was their first major step towards being a free country that was separate from Great Britain (England).

3- Because of the signing of this document other countries such as France now saw the colonies as a separate country from England and therefore aided the colonies during the Revolutionary War.

4- Many laws that were attempted to be put in place were n longer valid and were not enforced. These laws included the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Tax (1765), the Townshend Acts (1767), and the Tea Act (1773).

5- The Quartering Act (1765), which forced colonists to help pay for the British military stationed in the colonies, was no longer a thing as the colonists now were helping to aid their side of the war.
