Question

What are the differences between the two different views: traditional American republicanism and progressivism. Make sure to define and compare the two views in terms of rights and representation. Try and incorporate all we've covered from separation of powers, checks and balances, civil rights, civil liberties, liberty, equality, property, and especially rights, and representation. I want you to think about the implications of each ideology.

Answer 1

Both Republicanism and progressiveness believe in the right to Liberty, Freedom and Free Speech.

Both believe in the power of democracy and government by the people. However, both have actually meant different things in different times.

An example is the deep-seated patriotism of Republicanism and the American exceptionalism. On the other hand progressiveness believe in equality among people from all nations and actually support migrations.
