Social Studies

xxMikexx [17]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.
  • In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.
  • In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.
  • The United States, while basically a republic, is best described as a “representative democracy.”

Explain why a substantive disagreement may never be resolved. Your answer should be between 50 and 100 words.
Lena [83]

Substantive disagreement may never be resolved because it leads to clashes of opinions.

A disagreement or argument is said to be substantial if it centers on the presentation of divergent viewpoints regarding the truth or the adherence to opposing ideals.

There must be a means to distinguish substantive disagreement (SD) from conceptual disagreement if legal concepts can be the subject of SD. Arguments that persons debating a certain philosophical problem are only having a linguistic argument are one approach to reject the substantiveness of the issue. For instance, it has been argued that the seeming conflict over the mind/brain identity thesis is only a word one and that there is no real controversy over whether or not mental traits are the same as neurological ones.
