Answer: The answer would be B

Explanation:

Throughout the 19th century, Catholics living in the United States faced a great deal of discrimination from Protestants. This discrimination was based on differences of religious beliefs, but there was also a large amount of anti-immigrant sentiment as millions of Catholics moved to the United States, many of them coming from Ireland and Germany. One of the causes of Protestant discrimination against Catholics was the widespread belief among Protestants that Catholics would be loyal to the pope, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Protestants were especially worried that the pope would influence how Catholics voted in elections and would influence the decisions of politicians who were in public office.

Ugo [173]
In my opinion, the Constitution strike a balance of authority among the three branches of government mainly because there is a separation of powers. The legislative, judiciary, and executive branches are interconnected and they are dependent on each other. However, this does not mean that they can become enclosed in bias since many people are in power who all in all just represent the citizens of America.

Which claims about the declaration of the rights of man in the declaration of Independence are true the declaration of Independe
Juliette [100K]

True:  The Declaration of Independence speaks of a Divine Creator.

True:  The Declaration of the Rights of Man speaks of a Supreme Being.

True:  Both documents drew on the natural law philosophy of John Locke.


Some additional details about the "Divine Creator" and "Supreme Being" distinction:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously asserted, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  America's founding fathers tended to speak in religious terms associated with the Christian tradition, even though a number of them were more like Deists in their own beliefs.  Deists believe that there is a God who created the world, but set it up to run by natural laws and did not intervene in a personal way in its operation.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789) was less overt in ascribing the rights of human beings to God as Creator.  That declaration of the French Revolution stated, "The National Assembly recognizes and proclaims, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following rights of man and of the citizen."  They were taking using more overtly Deist language, acknowledging a Supreme Being that was the reasonable force governing all things, but seeing human beings in society granting rights according to the actions of a just government.

What two political policies did the south favor for the United States
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Southerners argued for states rights and a weak federal government.

Explanation:

It is however possible to give a general perspective behind southern states reasoning.

Slavery is the most apparent example. I won't go into depth because it's been discussed several times. Slavery, on the other hand, had far-reaching and multifaceted consequences in pre-war America. Slavery, for example, became one of the most contentious topics during westward expansion. It was one of the most pressing concerns to be addressed as new territories were established and new states were admitted to the Union. The reason was simple: a balance between slave and free states was required to preserve the Constitution and its amendments.''

The second thing, which is also tied to slavery, are the States rights,especially a right of individual state to seceede from the Union. The political and legal debates about this particular state right are still ongoing. The southern states decided that the matter was important enough to take up arms and fight over it.

Then there are social and economic aspects. The Southern society was extremely aristochratic. This doesn’t mean that in the North there was no aristocracy, but average person in the North had way more oportunities to make a good life. In the South, hard work, witts and ability would lead you only as far as your bloodline would allow it. Before the Civil War, USA politics were dominated by Southern politicians, and there is no better evidence than preservation of slavery which couldn’t be abolished through politics in the Congress.

North and South were also opposites when it comes to production. South’s main cash products were sugar, tobacco and cotton. However they were mostly exported as bulk products and shipped to either North or Europe where other would make a final product that can be sold at much higher cost (like clothes). North started to become more independent from European goods. It still imported a lot of them, but factories and industries were built that aimed to make those same products at home and not to import them from overseas. South was unable to form any substantial industry, apart from cotton gin they never developed any industty aimed at making the final product amd exporting it.

This two reasons esentially made South a reneisance society in industrial revolution world. The average Southener was disgusted by crowded industrial cities of the North, where people lived in conditions that were often worse than what slaves had to endure. The society of the South resisted industrial progres from its very core.

Thanks,

Eddie
