The Founding Fathers founded America upon the basis that the government exists to protect and defend people’s basic rights and that if the government fails to do so, the nation has the right to form a new government.

With that, the Framers created a series of mechanisms that make that possible. It is a broad system that makes it possible for all citizens to participate in a certain way. There are many ways to participate:

The main one is to vote in local, state and national elections.

Citizens can influence their representatives by signing petitions defending a certain point or asking something.

Another way to influence representatives is to lobby for laws that are of interest.

Citizens are also allowed to protest as a way to participate politically, protests can be in a form of marches, boycotts, sit-ins, and other forms.

And also, the citizen can run for office or hold public office.

All of these methods are important, citizens have to vote and make their voices heard through their representatives or directly by protests. Democracy is made by all of us.

When the exploration of the world was very new, people wanted to find new ways to get to Asia to trade for goods. Most people claimed these ways by water, so people sought out new ones. People wanted an easier way to get to Asia. Today, it could make trade/ imports and exports simpler to come in and out of the country. 

I hope this helped you!

How did the people of johnstown respond to the challenges of flooding?
34kurt

Explanation:

People all over the nation, even the world, responded with donations of clothing, food, and shelter. Doctors, nurses and Clara Barton and the American Red Cross arrived to provide medical assistance and emergency shelter and supplies. The Johnstown Flood was the first major disaster served by the recently formed Red Cross. Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.

Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents. During recovery and relief efforts the state of Pennsylvania put Johnstown under martial (military) law, since many of the towns leaders had perished in the flood. General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.
