Represenative democracy

History
1 answer:
solniwko [45]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Simply put, a representative democracy is a system of government in which all eligible citizens vote on representatives to pass laws for them. A perfect example is the U.S., where we elect a president and members of the Congress. We also elect local and state officials. All of these elected officials supposedly listen to the populace and do what's best for the nation, state or jurisdiction as a whole.

For a representative democracy to work, there are several conditions that have to be met. First, there has to be an opportunity for genuine competition in the selection of leadership (if people think that elections are rigged, or predetermined, there can be no meaningfully honest competition). Second, there has to be free communication, both among the people and in the press. Third, voters have to believe that a meaningful choice exists between candidates and that differences in policy are honestly reflected in each. The degree to which these three factors are present go a long way to determining the effectiveness of a representative democracy.

Why was Stalin so concerned about the second front​
umka21 [38]
Food, weapons, aircraft and many other types of supplies were sent by air and by sea on incredibly dangerous journeys. Although he appreciated this support, the Soviet leader Josef Stalin constantly pressured his allies to start a Second Front in the war which would relieve pressure on his forces in the east.

Churchill and Roosevelt argued that any attempt to land troops in Western Europe would result in heavy casualties.

which statement was in an early draft of the declaration of independence, but not in the final version? A. parliament should inc
muminat
D. Slavery was evil
In his original draft of the Declaration, Jefferson condemned the slave trade carried on by the British.  (Yes, Jefferson himself owned slaves he had inherited, but saw an eventual emancipation of slaves as something that would need to be done over time.)  The paragraph in the draft of the Declaration said that the King of England "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty" by capturing, transporting and selling human beings from the distant land of Africa.  He called the "market where men should be bought and sold" an "execrable commerce" carried on by authority of the British crown.  ("Execrable" is an adjective related to excrement -- something extremely nasty.)  
Georgia and South Carolina would not join in voting for independence from Britain unless the paragraph about the evil of the slave trade was omitted, and so it was omitted from the final version.

Which one of these documents told Europe to stop trying to create new colonies in the Western Hemisphere?
stepladder [879]
The answer would be Monroe Doctrine. That was the US policy that said foreign nations would not be allowed to continue with imperialism or colonizing undeveloped nations. Not that they could really enforce that.
