Why was democracy preached by the US hypocritical?

English
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]3 years ago
3 0
When the U.S. was just starting to form a government, they wanted to make sure power was equally distributed; make sure that power wasn’t just given to a handful of people. A democracy is power given equally and letting the citizens decide the role and impact of the government. The Founding Fathers wanted equality for everyone (everyone truly meaning all white men). At this time women and slaves still didn’t have political rights which is hypocritical to the meaning of democracy. When they said “Equality for all” they really meant “Equality for all white men.” That is the reason why the democracy preached by the U.S. was hypocritical.

Why are Sarah Goode and Sarah Osborne considered easy targets for the girls crying out against others “witching” them.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Sarah Good was born to a prosperous innkeeper in 1653.However, her father's estate became entangled in litigation leaving Sarah Good in poverty. After the death of her first husband, she married William Good. The Goods lived a life of begging and poverty in Salem Village. Sarah was regarded as an unsavory person and has come to be regarded through literature as the stereotypical witch, a disreputable old hag. Good was among the first three women accused of witchcraft in 1692 and was the first to testify. She never confessed guilt, but, like Tituba,she did accuse Sarah Osburne, an act that was credited with validating the witchcraft trials and accusations. Good was hanged as a witch on Tuesday July 19, 1692,but not until after the imprisonment of her six year old child Dorcas, also accused of witchcraft, and the tragic death of her infant in prison.In February of 1692, Sarah Osborne became one of the first three victims to be accused of witchcraft in Salem Village. As the widow of Robert Prince-a Salem Villager who purchased a 150-acre farm next to his friend Captain John Putnam's, Osborne was required (by Prince's will) to carry-over their estate to their two young sons. However, by attempting to overtake possession of the property for herself and her new husband, Irish immigrant Alexander Osborne, Sarah Osborne upset social norms that consequently resulted in accusations of witchcraft by the Putnam family. She died in prison on May 10, 1692.

A kind of figurative language that draws a sharper comparison than a simile is _____.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor draws a sharper comparison than a simile. A metaphor is a figurative language that describes an object by comparing the object with another unrelated thing. It does not give the object its literal meaning. It is usually expressed in a phrase or clause by associating two things that are unrelated to make meaning. For example, when someone says Brian has a river valley knowledge in Mathematics.
