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.”

Which statement BEST describes Abraham Lincoln's "10 Percent Plan"?
garik1379 [7]

In December 1863 Lincoln introduced the first Reconstruction scheme, the Ten Percent Plan, thus beginning the period known as Presidential Reconstruction. The plan decreed that when one-tenth of a state's prewar voters had taken an oath of loyalty to the U.S. Constitution, its citizens could elect a new state government and apply for readmission to the Union. In addition, Lincoln promised to pardon all but a few high-ranking Confederates if they would take this oath and accept abolition. The plan also required that states amend their constitutions to abolish slavery. Conspicuous in this plan was the stipulation that only whites could vote or hold office.

You are driving to school when suddenly an ambulance rushes past you with its sirens blartng, shocking you so much that you fear
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

a. sensitization

Explanation:

Sensitization, is a term in psychology, that describes a non-associative learning process in which there is strengthening of a neurological response to a stimulus due to the response to a secondary stimulus.

An obvious example, is if a loud sound is suddenly heard by an individual, such person may startle at that sound. If a shock is given following the sound, then the next time that particular sound occurs, the individual will subsequently react even more strongly to the particular sound.

Hence, in this case, the change that has come over my normal reaction to sirens is sensitization.
