Margarita [4]3 years ago

Popular sovereignty is the concept that all power is ultimately derived from the people. This means that every time you vote or express an opinion to a local leader/ politician, you are shaping the way this country is run. The problem? Old while men are the ones with free time on their hands, so they are the ones going out to vote and becoming/ influencing politicians, which makes the national vote a reflection of- not the actual public's opinion, no- but  instead the opinions of those who have lots of free time on their hands... (*cough, cough* <em>white nationalists)</em>

Americans express popular sovereignty every day... kind of.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

In order to protect the economic interests of American banks and investors.

Explanation:

After the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, with the Treaty of Paris (1898), which gave the United States control of Cuba and Puerto Rico, a period of constant interventions and occupations that involved the United States in Central America and the Caribbean started. These interventions and occupations are known as the Banana Wars. This period ended with the US military occupation of Haiti and with the Politics of Good Neighborhood presented by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. The <u>United Fruit Company</u> was the most important company in this situation, with important financial interests in the production of commodities such as bananas, tobacco, sugarcane and other agricultural products in the Caribbean and Central America. In this process, the US intervened in countries such as Panama, Cuba, Dominic Republic, Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras, and Mexico, all of them for similar economic reasons.
