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.”

counterculture is a FALSE statement.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • When a smaller group amalgamates with a larger group and accepts the nuances of the culture followed by the larger group, it eventually blends with the larger group automatically and becomes one with it.
  • Though the larger group is dominant in a culture that has accepted the mixing up of smaller groups with itself, the bonding between the two groups is often seen to be harmonious.
