How is the idea of popular sovereignty reflected in the preamble of the Constitution?

2 answers:

8 0

Note that "Popular Sovereignty" means "people's rules", which is that the people hold the largest power, and that the government cannot be sustained without the people's support.

Note the Preamble:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

1) Inside, we can see that the first few words, "We the people of the United States" suggests that the Constitution was written by the people, for the people.

2) The next few lines suggest that through the people, the needs "perfect union,... justice..., [etc.]" are given to the people themselves, to ensure that the people would always have their rights (which would place them higher than the government.

3) Note the words "ordain and establish". By putting the Constitution as the highest law, it had garnered enough public votes to have it passed. This can be seen as one of the first examples of the Constitution already at work, and that it's content had already taken effect.

How did reformers expose the living conditions to the public?

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Answer:

To expose and reform corruption in politics.

Explanation:

Since 1892, Steffens worked for the New York Evening Post. He later turned into the distributer of McClure's Magazine, from where he co-built up an analytical style called muckraking, revealing corruption in the American culture, with a special accentuation in New York.

After 1910, Steffens'reporting on corruption bit by bit reduced. Rather, his attention was on the Mexican Revolution. He turned into a heartfelt supporter of the alleged rebels and concentrated increasingly more on the insurgency as the best way to escape capitalism.

Durkheim argues that deviance is important to society. What functions does he believe deviance gives society? Do you agree with

Vladimir79 [104]

I agree with him, in a way that deviance creates norms that eventually informs the members of a particular society of what behaviors are acceptable or unacceptable.

Durkheim mentioned four factors, as to where he grounded the importance of deviance in the society.

First, deviance affirms cultural values and norms. Second, it also clarifies moral boundaries. Third, it promotes social unity by creating an us/them dichotomy, encourages social change, and provides jobs to control deviance. Certain factors of personality are theoretically and empirically related to workplace deviance, such as work environment, and individual differences. Lastly, it can be assertions of individuality and identity.
