The text below was written in 1918: "I listened to all that was said in this court in support and justification of this prosecut

ion, but my mind remains unchanged. I look upon the Espionage Law as a despotic enactment in flagrant conflict with democratic principles and with the spirit of free institutions… Your Honor, I have stated in this court that I am opposed to the social system in which we live; that I believe in a fundamental change—but if possible by peaceable and orderly means…" Why does Eugene Debs reject the prosecution's arguments in support of the Espionage Act?

The correct answer is B) he believes that the Espionage Act is contradictory to democratic principles and freedom.

Eugene Debs rejected the prosecution's arguments in support of the Espionage Act because he believed that the Espionage Act is contradictory to democratic principles and freedom.

We are talking about the Supreme Court case Debs v. the United States that was decided on March 10, 1919.

Civil Rights leader Eugen Debs had been indicted because he delivered a speech that invited American citizens to block the military recruitment for World War 1. He was accused of violating the Espionage Act of 1917. He appealed he had the right to express his feelings based on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court confirmed the accusation.

The other options of the question were A) he believes that his actions were justified based on his kinship with all living beings. C) he stands in opposition to the current political system. D) he denies being in violation of the Espionage Act.

AVprozaik [17]

The correct answer is "The United States hoped to benefit from problems in Latin America.".

Latin American governments are considered as "faulty democracies" or "pseudo-democracies", as government institutions are constantly threated by external fights for power.

Latin America is also a region with many resources, therefore, by aiding governments in this region. The United States lays a path to good relationships with the regimes that will result in ease in trade relations and foreign investment by private American Enterprises in these countries.

Why was China so important to success in the war against Japan?
IrinaK [193]
If we are talking about the second world war, then then answer would be that the Chinese kept the Japanese busy fighting them, and in turn, about 800,000 of their troops. This gave the Americans, who were the main force against the Japanese during this time, a little breathing room with which to continue military operations.

Hope this answered your question.

When specifically was the black death?
raketka [301]

The Black Death begin in October 1347 in Europe. Opps. I didn't read the question correctly.

The Black Death was a horrific plague. It made people feel ill and gave people nasty black boils. The boils oozed out blood, hence the name, "Black Death". The total death were about 20 million.
