Rights liberalism was prominent in the Civil Rights movements that began in the second half of the 20th century in the USA.  Rights liberalism focused on acquiring equal political and social rights (such as voting, access to jobs and public facilities, etc) by persons of color and by women, who were not being afforded equal rights at the time.
Welfare liberalism of the 1930s and 1940s aimed at providing for the basic needs of all citizens, preventing people from languishing in poverty, offering work opportunities and Social Security for all.  The intent was to build a more socially responsible society to help any members of society that would be in need.

The liberal tradition had John Stuart Mill as one of its founding fathers.  Mill, a 19th century philosopher, is famous for his writing <em>On Liberty</em> as well as <em>Utilitarianism.</em>  In promoting liberty (liberalism), he advocated the rights of all individuals.  In his utilitarian theory, he worked with the principle that securing the greatest well-being of the greatest number of persons is the best, most ethical path to follow. The welfare liberalism tradition aligns especially with this utilitarian principle advocated by Mill.  Rights liberalism aligns especially with the principles he set forth in his writing <em>On Liberty.</em>

What was the gold standard? Which groups of Americans supported it, and which groups opposed it?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.</span><span><span>The farmers opposed the gold standard because in order to live on their farms, they needed to take out a mortgage on them because they couldn't pay the entire fee by themselves. Thus, farmers were in debt, and a gold AND silver standard would help them by increasing the amount of currency in circulation. Inflation would help debtors because more currency would be produced, therefore the value of each currency would decrease and the value of their debts would similarly decrease, making it easier to pay off. The amount of debt would stay the same, but they would be getting higher wages because of inflation. The wealthy and eastern industrial workers supported a gold standard because inflation would not help them. The wealthy had savings accounts and such, and inflation would lessen the value of their savings. Similarly, the industrial workers might also have a small savings account, but would not have a mortgage on a farm like the westerners (they would live in tenement buildings), so inflation would not have a positive effect on them either. </span> </span>

What are the weaknesses for article 12 from the articles of confederation?
Katarina [22]
The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts.
