Answer:
B. The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public
Explanation:
The media are businesses whose main objective is profit maximization. It is also true that they are required by law to care for certain ethical standards but, in general, they show the contents that will attract a larger audience. They do not care on whether these contents can be giving visibility to candidates whose political proposals are bad for the welfare of citizens
Answer:
We have to find the author, time, intended audience, main idea, context, bias, and accuracy of the text.
Author - a candidate for government office.
Time - government election campaign.
Intended audience - potential voters.
Main idea - the candidate is the only one who can be trusted with taxpayer money, and this is crucial because taxpayer money is being wasted.
Context - Government intervention does more harm than good: raising taxes on successful businesses to fund failing public schools only has the effect of both reducing wealth creation, and educating children poorly.
Bias - the candidate has anti-goverment bias.
Accuracy - the candidate does not provide evidence to back his claims in the speech, thus, the accuracy of it cannot be properly gauged.
Answer:
The best responses for the differences that arose due to political tension during Louisiana's territorial period: Different American systems led to Creole concerns as to whether previous land grants would be honored; and Louisiana’s Creole population disagreed with the American denial of rights for Louisianans of color.
Explanation:
Louisiana was very different from the United States at the time of the territorial period. It had spent many years under French and then Spanish rule, and then back to French again. The result was that the culture in New Orleans was different in terms of language and religion, and in the Spanish system settlers to the region were given land grants. The Creoles were worried that the new American legal system would not recognize the legality of their holdings (Chamberland and Faber, 2014).
The new American territorial legislature also enacted a new slave code in 1806 that denied the few rights that the Louisiana system had given to slaves previously, called the <em>Code Noir</em>. The slaves in Louisiana were no longer permitted to inherit anything or to own property and they could not purchase themselves as a way to gain their freedom. People of color were expected suddenly to treat whites with deference in the 1806 code, something that previously was not codified into Louisiana law. There was also a significant free black population in New Orleans at the time of the Louisiana Purchase that would gradually see their privileges and rights revoked and suppressed once Louisiana became a state (Hanger, 2007).
