"We the People" are the opening words in the Preamble to the Constitution. However, it can be confusing to try to interpret the meaning of this phrase. The words are considered to represent the citizens of the United States. By beginning the Preamble in this way, the authors want to convey the idea of the people being the ones who support the words stated in the Preamble. It also indicates that the ultimate political power of the nation comes from its citizens.

what is a republic? in minds of 18th century Americans, what essential qualities did people need to have for a republic to succe
lara [203]
A republic is a government in which the people and/or elected officials have the most say in the government and a president is elected rather than a monarch. The early founders in creating the American republic believed certain groups were better fit to represent all the people. Due to their position of power in regards to other people, men were seen as the most fit to lead and vote. Additionally, land owners being responsible and invested as well as those 21 and over were considered most fit. Additionally many, especially the Federalists, believed that the elite were most worthy as they were also the most moral. Their education level and ability to be successful meant they were best fit to make good decisions for all. Anti-Federalists, especially Thomas Jefferson believed all men should be involved in the process and a truer form of democracy was needed. He often argued for the right of commoners to revolt and overthrow government if it was needed. The voice of the people should drive all decisions not the voices of a few elites. Federalists feared direct democracy due to the common man's lack of education and inability to be rational. Ultimately Federalists, especially Alexander Hamilton wanted the British system just with a president instead of a king and them in power instead of British Parliament.

Which best describes the relationship between the United States and oil?
nekit [7.7K]
A. The United States produces more oil than any other country

It would seem to most people that the U.S. doesn’t make a huge amount of oil since it imports so much, but the reason that so much is imported is due to the fact that the vast majority of that oil produced in country is saved in National oil reserves for future use in hard times.

What is President Roosevelt’s primary purpose in his State of the Union address?
rodikova [14]

President Roosevelt aims to instill hope and inspire citizens to help in the efforts of war.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Americans honor Franklin D Roosevelt as the leader who guided them out of the 1930's Great recession and through history's biggest global war. As an author of drastic change in his culture, he ranks among Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson.

The words of his inaugural speech on 4 March 1933 are once again echoing throughout the world: ' We must just fear ourselves, the nameless unreasonable, unreasonable terror that paralyzes required efforts to translate retreat forward. '

The American people voted Roosevelt President by a broad margin in 1932, at their pinnacle with the Great recession and the opposition candidate, Herbert Hoover, unable of effecting any change or inspiring hope.

While the recession was less than over, the very first term reforms in banking, healthcare, unemployment, job relief, and retirement FDR offered a sense of security and hope for millions they had never before known.
