Answer: "Glasnost and Perestroika," the liberalization of a rigid communist system.
Explanation:
Reforms of the system called "Perestroika (Reorganization) and Glasnost (Public Information)" were introduced by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.With these principles, Gorbachev did not intend to cause the system to collapse but wanted to reform it from the top of the pyramid.Gorbachev allowed some communist countries to experiment with reforms but also warned about the importance of the party.
However, reforms have taken more and more momentum. Communism is a closed political system, and these reforms have just implied the opposite. Soon no communists will come to power in Poland after forty years. Communism in Europe was in huge trouble. Fundamental changes were necessary. Thus, Glasnost and Perestroika accelerated the collapse of the communist system in Europe.
The Southern Strategy was Richard Nixon's strategy to whiteify the electorate so Republicans can hold onto power in light of demographic changes. It resulted in a total party realignment over issues of Civil Rights and racism.
Because the South was mainly farms that had to be worked by hand, while the North was more industrialized and had more factories. The white Southerners did not want the slaves to be freed because they wouldn't have free labor and would be forced to pay workers to work their fields.
Because a citizen's participation in government and politics moves the democracy forward. Our voice as citizens helps improve the way the government runs.
