The simplest answer is because they wanted to be ruled by a government that recognized the rights and power of the people being ruled. The bill of rights outlines and as much as possible guarantees what things are granted to everyone. It's not only freedom religion, assembly and speech. It is things like gun control, search and seizure, the right to trial, the right not to incriminate oneself by saying anything at all.

The constitution outlines how each of the governments divide up the power given to each of them. The most carefully written part has to do with the role of the federal government vs states rights.

777dan777 [17]

<u>Answer</u>:

Since the mid 1970s, the United States had a significant trade deficit.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The U.S had undergone a trade deficit since the 1970s. This has been contributed to the fact that they have been importing way more supplies and goods than the other countries were buying from the Americans. These imports have affected the native industries. Also, the demand for American products went down drastically and thus contributing to the deficit.

While Europe and Great Britain undertook industrialization in the 18th century, Americans started it in the 19th century-this delay resulted in the US depending upon imported goods and also in US struggling to meet Europe's levels of export.

According to this excerpt, why is it important that the 'near intellectuals" expose themselves to Bessie Smith, Paul Robeson,
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

It is important because they need to learn to appreciate their heritage and understand their own culture.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" deals with the issue of accepting one's cultural heritage despite the 'baggage' it contains. Hughes used this essay to address the need for blacks to accept who they are, where they come from, and be happy and content about it without trying to unsuccessfully emulate the white people.

In the given passage from the essay, Hughes states that people need to Bessie Smith and Paul Robeson. These artists are accepting of their black heritage and fought for their rights, addressing the oppression and discrimination they faced. And like them, Hughes wants people to be like these artists, ready to face their oppressors and fight for what is right.  He wants the <em>"near intellectuals"</em> to experience these artists' songs so that it might <em>"cause the smug Negro middle class to turn from their white, respectable, ordinary books and papers to catch a glimmer of their beauty."</em> In short, he is implying that these <u>black people who are trying so hard to emulate the whites need to get a better understanding of their culture and learn to appreciate their heritage instead of trying to be like someone else</u>.
