Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.

Answer: The United States is a representative democracy, AKA republic, because the citizens do not vote directly on laws. Rather, they elect representatives (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to vote on laws for them. If it were a direct democracy, every law would be voted on by anyone who cared to.

Answer:

Explanati1. International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state

2. Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy.

3. The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one variant of which was laid out in Montequieu’s Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau’s Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of “Grub Street;” the broadening influence of public opinion.

4. Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie

5. Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI

6. Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders caused by food shortages.

How did the growth and development of railroads affect the American economy?
Sphinxa [80]
The best option will be the C. Railroads made the rapid movement of produce and goods into many markets possible.

Because Railroads basically were the key point to national business and economic growth. Eliminating the needs for long and weary trips, while also founding and fueling other soon-to-be huge business industries, such as iron, coal, copper, machinery, etc., railroads made "rapid movement of produce and goods into many markets possible."
