Answer: b. An aggressive media serves as a check on the government's power.

This is the most likely answer out of the given options. The First Amendment protects the freedom of the press by ensuring that freedom of speech is respected in the country. More importantly, it states that the press must serve the citizens, and not the government. This is important because an active and aggressive media that is protected by the law can act as a check on the government's power.

"<span>b. An aggressive media serves as a check on the government's power" would be the best option, since the First Amendment guarantees free speech in order to make sure that people can speak against their government. </span>

In your opinion, what is the best argument against nativism? Give reasons to support your answer.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The best argument against nativism is that immigrants contribute a great deal to the American economy and to American society. There is very little evidence that immigrants take jobs from American citizens. Instead, they normally take unpleasant jobs that most Americans do not want to do. It is also not true that immigrants do not pay taxes. Payroll taxes and income taxes are deducted from their wages, and they pay sales taxes when they purchase goods. In addition, immigrants add to the cultural diversity of the United States.
