Answer:

Rising inequality is one of our most pressing social concerns. And it is not simply that some are advantaged while others are not, but that structures of inequality are self-reinforcing and cumulative; they become durable. The societal arrangements that in the past have produced more equal economic outcomes and social opportunities – such as expanded mass education, access to social citizenship and its benefits, and wealth redistribution – have often been attenuated and supplanted by processes that are instead inequality-inducing. This issue of Dædalus draws on a wide range of expertise to better understand and examine how economic conditions are linked, across time and levels of analysis, to other social, psychological, political, and cultural processes that can either counteract or reinforce durable inequalities.  

Inequality Generation & Persistence as Multidimensional Processes: An Interdisciplinary Agenda  

The Rise of Opportunity Markets: How Did It Happen & What Can We Do?  

We describe the rise of “opportunity markets” that allow well-off parents to buy opportunity for their children. Although parents cannot directly buy a middle-class outcome for their children, they can buy opportunity indirectly through advantaged access to the schools, neighborhoods, and information that create merit and raise the probability of a middle-class outcome. The rise of opportunity markets happened so gradually that the country has seemingly forgotten that opportunity was not always sold on the market. If the United States were to recommit to equalizing opportunities, this could be pursued by dismantling opportunity markets, by providing low-income parents with the means to participate in them, or by allocating educational opportunities via separate competitions among parents of similar means. The latter approach, which we focus upon here, would not require mobilizing support for a massive re-distributive project.  

The Difficulties of Combating Inequality in Time  

Scholars have argued that disadvantaged groups face an impossible choice in their efforts to win policies capable of diminishing inequality: whether to emphasize their sameness to or difference from the advantaged group. We analyze three cases from the 1980s and 1990s in which reformers sought to avoid that dilemma and assert groups’ sameness and difference in novel ways: in U.S. policy on biomedical research, in the European Union’s initiatives on gender equality, and in Canadian law on Indigenous rights. In each case, however, the reforms adopted ultimately reproduced the sameness/difference dilemma rather than transcended it.  

Political Inequality, “Real” Public Preferences, Historical Comparisons & Axes of Disadvantage  

The essays in this issue of Dædalus raise fascinating and urgent questions about inequality, time, and interdisciplinary research. They lead me to ask further questions about the public’s commitment to reducing inequality, the importance of political power in explaining and reducing social and economic inequities, and the possible incommensurability of activists’ and policy-makers’ vantage points or job descriptions.  

New Angles on Inequality  

The trenchant essays in this volume pose two critical questions with respect to inequality: First, what explains the eruption of nationalist, xenophobic, and far-right politics and the ability of extremists to gain a toehold in the political arena that is greater than at any time since World War II? Second, how did the social distance between the haves and have-not harden into geographic separation that makes it increasingly difficult for those attempting to secure jobs, housing, and mobility-ensuring schools to break through? The answers are insightful and unsettling, particularly when the conversation turns to an action agenda. Every move in the direction of alternatives is fraught because the histories that brought each group of victims to occupy their uncomfortable niche in the stratification order excludes some who should be included or ignores a difference that matters in favor of principles of equal treatment.

Aleks [24]
Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Once they are approved, they have lifetime terms. 

I agree, and believe anyone would agree, with the quote. Getting a Supreme Court Justice nominated and approved, who shares your political views, means that you will have a very powerful person in the Judicial Branch exercising power for potentially several decades. Supreme Court Justices, especially through the power of judicial review, can exercise great power over the government without having to worry about reelection and with no end to their term. This means that the president, by extension, enjoys great influence over government through his nomination of these justices.

At the end of Jefferson's second term it seems that the political situation should have made Jefferson's party very vulnerable i
Elena L [17]

Answer:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>It helped: That the Federalist Party was weakening, and was practically the only one of the opposition. While Jefferson's popularity had the majority of his support among southern planters and poor farmers in the south and west; however, he also found a good electoral fishing ground between grain growers in New England and the mid-Atlantic states.</u>

Explanation:

The fact was labeled "Revolution" at the time, which meant a break with the previous political order as it initiated the first bipartisan system in the United States; That is why it is known as the "Revolution of 1800". Upon taking office in March 1801 Jefferson became the third president of the United States; starting the long period of predominance of the Democratic-Republican Party.

Jefferson would be reelected in 1804 for a second term that began in 1805; In 1808 the Democratic-Republican candidate James Madison was elected President, who at that time was Jefferson's Secretary of State.

The Democratic-Republican Party, like all parties of the time, was dominated by a select elite of leaders; the consultation to the bases of the party by means of internal primary elections was an idea absolutely unknown then. The election of the presidential candidate of the party was made by the Democratic-Republican Caucus in Congress.

But from the election of Madison a kind of unwritten rule or custom was imposed that the candidate should be the Secretary of State of the outgoing Government; in this way the congressmen elected Madison, Jefferson's Secretary of State.

As a result, when a Democratic-Republican president appointed his Secretary of State, he was also naming the future presidential candidate of his party; and since the victory was almost assured, he was actually naming his presidential successor.

The ease with which the Democratic-Republican Party won the elections was due to the growing weakness of the Federalist Party, which was practically the only one of the opposition.

The Democratic-Republican Party had the majority of its support among southern planters and poor farmers in the south and west; nevertheless, he also found a good electoral fishing ground between the grain growers of New England and the Mid-Atlantic States, "being the New York-Virginia axis that sustained the victory of the Republican Party in 1800."  

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>It helped: That the Federalist Party was weakening, and was practically the only one of the opposition. While Jefferson's popularity had the majority of his support among southern planters and poor farmers in the south and west; however, he also found a good electoral fishing ground between grain growers in New England and the mid-Atlantic states.</u>
