Did the United States live up to its founding ideals of liberty, equality, and justice in the period from the Gilded Age to the
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Largely yes, but with some flaws as well.

Explanation:

The United States is nowadays a developed, high-income country, where the vast majority of citizens have a quality of life way higher than the world average.

The country also has a political system that works better than most countries in the world. The judicial branch is largely independent from the president, and this is not something to take as a given.

The country also has a great degree of liberty in many areas: religion, ideology, political association, and so on, which again, is also higher than the average country in the world.

However, there are still flaws, especially when it comes to equality. In the United States, there is great income inequality, and this inequality has been rising in the last decades. Racial minorities are also subject to some other forms of inequality that are more institutional, which makes it harder for them to progress.

Overall, the country mostly lives up to its ideals when compared to the vast majority of countries in the world, but it still has its flaws, and should improve.

After the louisiana purchase, what do you think will happen next
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Louisiana Purchase was one of the biggest and most prosperous deals America managed to acquire in history. An entire part of the Western territory would come under American control, doubling the country’s size in minutes without a single battle being fought.

After the French Indian Wars, western parts of Louisiana were under the Spanish control while Eastern parts were under the British rule. After America got independence from the British, the western parts were still under the Spanish rule. These regions were of strategic importance in terms of commerce and trade. Spain ceded the entire Louisiana region to the French in return for some regions under Italy. France got back its control in the American regions. The presence of European countries on its western borders troubled America. The then President, Thomas Jefferson, offered Napoleon Bonaparte two million dollars to buy parts of the lower Mississippi. He later increased the cash price to ten million dollars that would allow America to buy New Orleans and West Florida. France on the other hand did not see any financial gains by staying on in the region. It offered America the entire western regions of Louisiana to Livingston for 15 million dollars. The deal was signed and with a single agreement, the size of the US doubled. This deal aided in making the country one of the largest in the world. The resources and richness of the lands acquired were unimaginable.

Did the Anti-Federalists accomplish any of their goals?
Law Incorporation [45]

The main objective of the Anti-federalists was avoid the establishment of the president because they thought that a centralized power could degenerate into a monarchy. Although the Anti-federalists could not avoid the approval of a new constitution, this effort was not completely in vain. Anti-federalism thus became an influential group among the founding fathers of the United States. With the approval of the constitution and the bill of rights, the anti-federalists were exhausted. They were succeeded by members of the anti-administration party, which opposed the fiscal and foreign policy of George Washington.
