1. Applying Why is the United States a republic and a democracy?

History

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

To understand the reason the United States is both a republic and a democracy let us first define the terms and then see if the United States fits in.

A republic is a form of government that is governed by the citizens.  It is not led by a monarch or an aristocrat or a despot.  It is "the government of the people and for the people."  It is not an outsider-imposed form of government.

Similarly, a democracy is a system of government by the whole citizens who elect some persons to represent them in the government.  It is also "the government of the people, by the people, and for the people," according to popular definition.

Therefore, the United States fits the definition of a republic and a democracy.  It is actually a federal democratic  republic where Congress exercises supreme authority on behalf of all US citizens.  Congressmen and women are elected periodically by the citizens.

The above definitions show the dependence of a democracy on the republican form of government.  This implies that a republic is supposed to be a democracy.  But if it is not, a democracy must be at least a republic, otherwise, it is not a democracy.

Explanation:

If the citizens have the supreme power and delegate authority to elected representatives, who make decisions on their behalf, then it is a republic.

What is the overall trend of Mexican immigration to the US in the 20th century?
slega [8]

Answer:

Beginning around the 1890s, new industries in the U.S. Southwest—especially mining and agriculture—attracted Mexican migrant laborers. The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) then increased the flow: war refugees and political exiles fled to the United States to escape the violence. Mexicans also left rural areas in search of stability and employment. As a result, Mexican migration to the United States rose sharply. The number of legal migrants grew from around 20,000 migrants per year during the 1910s to about 50,000–100,000 migrants per year during the 1920s.

Answer for the second

'Released from foreign war, we would probably be plunged into all the misery of anarchy and intestine war. Can we suppose that the people of the south, would submit to having the seat of Empire at Philadelphia, or New England; or that the people oppressed by a change of government, contrasting their misery with their former happy state, would not invite Britain to reassume the sovereignty.” — James Chalmers, Plain Truth, 1776

If the one above is the argument, you might consider that the colonists did obtain independence from England. That by itself was something that Chalmers always thought to be impossible without serious repercussions. He used to say that  in the case of achieving freedom, America would just end up being attacked and maybe even colonized by some other country. What happened, thought, was that after the revolution, other countries gained respect for America as an opponent and the country was eventually left to be.
