How does a referendum give people more influence in government?

History
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A referendum is a public consultation that asks the opinion of the entire population on a subject.

Depending on the law that created the referendum it could be just a consultation, but most of the times it's a legal decision that forces the government to act according to the result of the referendum.

There was a good example lately that is still causing problems, the referendum on Brexit in 2016... the government had to act following the result, even though it wasn't its choice.  And the issue isn't yet totally solved because no agreement has been reached yet, and it might lead to chaos and have great consequences for the UK.

Now use the chart to compare and contrast the perspectives on immigration from all three primary sources.
alukav5142 [94]

The immigrants are viewed as people who should be pitied and allowed in as they are mostly Jewish refugees, fleeing persecution, according to <em>Emma Lazarus' </em><em>The Colossus.</em>

<h3>What is a Primary Source?</h3>

This refers to the first-hand account of a topic or a narration that is usually reliable.

Emma Lazarus was of the opinion that immigrants can be Americans as she used the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of a welcoming mother to all immigrants. She also felt that all immigrants were equal and one was not superior to the other.

Thomas Bailey in his poem, <em>The Unguarded Gates</em>, is critical of immigrants coming to America. From the tone of the poem, he is a white supremacist and also an advocate of nationalism which also shows that he thought some immigrants were less equal than others.

<em>The Babel Proclamation </em>by the Iowa Governor William Harding showed the controversial declaration that only English should be spoken in public places and also he had strong anti-German sentiments in the wake of World War I and he was anti-immigration and thought some immigrants were less equal than others.

What part of the body did aristotle believe was the seat of thought and actions?
Delvig [45]
The early civilizations lacked adequate means to obtain knowledge about the human brain. Their assumptions about the inner workings of the mind, therefore, were not accurate. Early views on the function of the brain<span> regarded it to be a form of "cranial stuffing" of sorts. In ancient Egypt, from the late </span>Middle Kingdom<span> onwards, in preparation for mummification, the brain was regularly removed, for it was the </span>heart<span> that was assumed to be the seat of intelligence. According to </span>Herodotus<span>, during the first step of mummification: "The most perfect practice is to extract as much of the brain as possible with an iron hook, and what the hook cannot reach is mixed with drugs." Over the next five thousand years, this view came to be reversed; the brain is now known to be the seat of intelligence, although colloquial variations of the former remain as in "memorizing something by heart".</span>
