Answer:

United States of America practice the Republican System of government

Explanation:

US type of government is called the Republican system of government. Sometimes called a Representative democracy. The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws and other government decisions are made predominantly by majority vote. Some lawmaking is done this way, on the state and local levels, but it’s only a tiny fraction of all lawmaking. But US is a representative democracy, which is a form of democracy.

People elect the people who head the government (Congress and the President) who operate in general opposition to each other (Legislative vs Executive), and which, between the two, appoint the people who head the Judicial branch. Ideally, the three parts of government serve as checks against each other. The two houses of congress were originally a sort of faux “House of Lords” representing the upper crust (the senate), balanced by a faux “House of Commons” representing the masses (House of Representatives), then, as the society changed, so did the characters of the two houses. However, to this day, the House is more responsive to, and accessible to, the general population. The senate is also a balanced body (2 senators per state), which gives all states an equal voice. The house is based on population, which gives the greatest voice to those areas which have the greatest population density. California and New York are huge voices in the House and can drown out smaller states like the Dakotas, Vermont, Delaware, and Rhode Island. In the senate, those small states can be heard.

The congress makes the laws, and rides herd on foreign policy in a sort of “review” type function. The president gives congress ideas, and proposes actions where it is needed, and provides the “quick response” portion of the government, as well as being the face and spearhead of foreign policy. The Supreme court is the arbiter of the laws vs the constitution, and the final say to make sure that the government does not overreach or become too powerful, and does not violate the constitution.

Conservative judges are more careful in this role, Liberal judges are more willing to be creative and even to legislate from the bench, which is actually forbidden by the constitution, only congress is authorized to make Federal law.

Bickering and dissension are important facets of our government. But, more and more, bureaucracy is what actually makes the government clack.

Lorico [155]

Answer: C: The citizens of Athens stayed within an overcrowded walled city.

Explanation:

The Peloponnesian War had only been fought for a few years when farmers and other citizens who lived outside the city of Athens flocked to the inside for protection from the Spartans. The city had not prepared properly for this type of overcrowding. There was a shortage of food and clean water as a result. There was a lack of cleanliness. Athens was unable to get rid of all the waste that the mass of people was creating. This caused a plague.

schepotkina [342]

Independent agencies such as the CIA or FCC operate outside of the President's immediate sphere of influence, but still are under executive scrutiny, therefore the answer is that they "cause the executive branch to influence many aspects of life in the United States."

Answer:

Rosa Parks or Emily Davison

Explanation:

Rosa Parks fought for equality and against segregation, by not giving up her seat on a bus in 1955. At the time, buses and other forms of transport were segregated between white skins and black skins. Black people had to sit at the back and whites at the front. If there were no more spaces and a white person came onto the bus, the black person would have to give up there space. Rosa Parks however, didn't do this and refused to move for a white man. This resulted in her getting arrested, but it paved the way for the future.

For example, even now, she still has an affect, seeing as buses aren't segregated at all.

Emily Davison gave up her own life by throwing herself under the King's horse at the Epsom derby in 1913. Though her direct intention isn't known, she was a suffragette fighting for women to get the right to vote. Her and other women eventually won this battle and now women are allowed to vote
