Answer:

The leaders of the American Revolution made three great gambles. First, they sought independence from the powerful British Empire, becoming the first colonies in the Americas to revolt and seek independence from their mother empire. Second, they formed a union of thirteen states, which was also unprecedented, for the colonies had long histories of bickering with one another. Third, the revolutionaries committed their new states to a republic, then a radical and risky form of government. In a republic, the people were the sovereign—rejecting the rule of a monarch and aristocrats. Today we take for granted that governments elected by the people can be stable, long lasting, and effective. But the Americans in the new nation were not so sure, given the lessons of history. In 1789, the United States was the only large republic in the world; the others were a handful of small city-states scattered in Europe, and none of the larger republics in the history of the world had lasted very long. Like the ancient republic of Rome, they had collapsed and reverted to some form of tyranny, usually by a military dictator.

Any one of those three gambles was an enormous risk. The miracle was that the revolutionaries pulled off all three of them, winning their war against the British, and securing a generous boundary in the peace treaty of 1783: west to the Mississippi, south to Florida, and north to the Great Lakes, with the Atlantic Ocean as the eastern boundary.

During the mid-1780s, however, the new nation seemed about to collapse as quickly as it had been created. The first constitution of the United States was the Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781. It proved too weak to control the powerful state governments. Unable directly to tax people, the confederation lacked its own revenue and could not afford an army or a navy, or even to pay the interest on its massive war debt. American Indians defied the confederation, and the Europeans insisted that no republic could endure on such a big geographic scale.

Plus the states were roiled by social conflicts between the wealthy gentlemen and the common people over issues of credit or debit. Gentlemen faulted the state governments for pandering to common voters by offering to relieve debtors at the expense of their creditors, those gentlemen who had loaned them money and goods. The gentlemen concluded that the state governments were too democratic, which meant too responsive to public opinion. And when a rare state government did favor the creditors, it provoked resistance from armed farmers.

Explanation:

Las fuentes de información son instrumentos para el conocimiento, búsqueda y acceso a la información. La difusión del uso de la comunicación a través del ordenador y de flujos de información a través de Internet, adquiere una importancia estratégica decisiva en las sociedades desarrolladas. Esta importancia será cada vez mayor para dar forma a la cultura futura y aumentará la ventaja estructural de las elites que han determinado su formato. Debido a la novedad histórica del medio y a la cierta mejoría de la posición relativa de poder de los grupos tradicionalmente subordinados, como las mujeres, la comunicación a través del ordenador ofrece una posibilidad para invertir los tradicionales juegos de poder en el proceso de la comunicación. Por ello presento en este sitio web la presencia en Internet de las fuente de información útiles para los Estudios de las Mujeres.

Which statement is an example of direct democracy? A) People elect a Senator to the U.S. Congress. B) The town council approves
MatroZZZ [7]

The correct answer is D.

Direct democracy is exercised when voters, instead of electing political representatives that would govern and conduct policymaking on their behalf, are directly involved and can choose to support those policies that they consider to be more appropiate. <u>Option D is the only situation in which the policy choice is directly made by citizens. </u>

<em>Options A, B or C cannot be correct because in all of them the decision-making is performed by a body or an institution constituted by representatives that have been elected by citizens: the Congress, the town hall or the President. </em>

Nowadays, most democracies in the world are representative democracies were citizens whose representatives through suffrage, in opposition to direct democracies.
