“What Athens was in miniature America will be in magnitude.” -- Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, 1791

A. The life-long military service

B. The use of democratic elections

C. The creation of an oligarchy

D. The use of oracles for advice

The answer to this question is B. The use of democratic elections

Explanation:

One of the features modern societies including the U.S. share with Ancient Greek is the implementation of a Democratic system and elections to choose representatives. This factor is the one mentioned by Paine in "What Athens was in miniature America will be in magnitude" because through this quotation Paine compares the government system in Ancient Greece with the one in America, and proposes the principles of the Greek system including elections are used in America but in a larger magnitude considering Ancient Greece was composed of few states and it was a small country.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

President.

Explanation:

A president can be defined as an individual who is duly elected by the electorates and as such is the head of the country in a democratic government. The president is empowered by the constitution to sign (veto) legislations, adjourn or convene the legislative body (Congress), grant state pardons and reprieve to citizens, command the armed forces, and welcome ambassadors representing other countries.

In the United States of America, the president has various powers granted by Acts of Congress and Article II of the U.S constitution such as Ordinance power, Appointment power, Implied power, Executive power etc.

By virtue of an executive power, the president is empowered to issue an executive order such as a decree, instructions, regulations and rules in order to successfully manage the affairs of the country and good governance.

Furthermore, the president being the head of a national government is saddled with the responsibility of formulating and establishing policies that controls the affairs of the people and institutions operating within the country.

Hence, President is the title of the person who is the Head of State and is in charge of an executive branch of the government and who does not have to answer to a legislative body.

For example, the United States of America have had over 40 democratically elected Presidents.
