Answer:

I'm not exactly sure what you guys learned in your lesson. I feel like it would really depend. In Communism, a revolution is usually encouraged and in this transition period things could get a bit out of control. Think how after Stalin came to power the Great Purge happened. Anyone who was a political opponent of Stalin was killed. Also think of when collective farms were imposed. Kulaks who resisted working on collective farms were killed. Even Lenin considered or at least warned that he would have the kulaks killed if they resisted the change as shown in his 1918 Hanging Order. In a communist society, ideally everyone would be of the same class. Everything would be provided by the government. Their normally wouldn't be much of a variety of things to choose from when going to the store. There would just be the necessities. You'd also have to wait in line for a long time to get those commodities. Those might be a few other things to think about. Of course their are many other things to consider.

I'm not sure what is meant by,"a ruthless or corrupt leader who holds democratic elections. . .". I'm not sure if that means a sort of fascist-like leader who, on certain issues, would hold elections but most of the time would do whatever he wants. I suppose it could also mean a president who is very harsh or holds very extreme views. If it means the latter than I would choose to live their as opposed to an early U.S.S.R. If what is meant is the fascist-like government then probably not. It would probably turn out much like Communist society in which their is a totalitarian government and all opponents are arrested or persecuted.

Identify What were the Freedom Rides?
TEA [102]

Q.1 What were feedom riders?

The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. Blacks sat in the front of the bus and whites sat in the back, opposite of the usual arrangements. There were multiple different rides from several different locations and a variety of people. At every stop, the freedom riders would use the opposite segregated facilities such as bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains

Q.2.where and when?

They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice.

Q.3who was involved?

The idea was conceived by The Congress of Racial Equality and the first ride involved 7 blacks and 6 whites who boarded the bus in Washington D.C. Many Freedom Riders were trained Civil Rights Activists who practiced peaceful protest and lead with bravery. Some were even involved in the diner sit in's the year before.

Q.4.why?

They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional but was failing to be enforced.

Boynton vs Virginia was a court case about a man named Bruce Boynton who was in a restaurant within a "white only" bus terminal and refused to leave. He was arrested for trespassing, but the offense was turned over by the Supreme Court because "white only" and "black only" areas were deemed unconstitutional through Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

This was also the next step towards anti-segregation that promoted the ideas brought on by diner sit in's that took place in the previous year.

The Freedom Rides also had the goal of gaining not only public attention but also the attention of the Kennedy Association in order to raise awareness of the rising Civil Rights Movement.

Kamila [148]
 A. To protest U.S. support for Israel
The United States supported Israel since the end of WWll when it was created as a homeland for Jews displaced during the war. Almost all of the other Middle Eastern countries hated Israel because they were Muslims and Israel was made up of Jews. And  they also favored Palestine which was the country that Israel was made of. European officials literally told Palestine that they no longer owned that tract of land because it was Israel's now. In the 1970's the United States increased it's aid to Israel which enraged OPEC and they placed an oil embargo on America which increased the price of gas and further added to the economic hardships facing the country at the time.

Which of the selections below was a belief of the Founding Fathers that mirrored John Locke's idea of the social contract? Selec
Elanso [62]

The correct answer is:

B. Government can only exist if the people it serves support its existence.

Explanation:

<em>John Locke's idea of the social contract had a great influence over the Founding Fathers of America, the separation of powers, the idea that all men are created equal and the preamble of the Constitution </em>show a big influence of John Locke towards the United States form of government.

John Locke believed that each individual is born with natural rights such as freedom and the right of property, granted by the state of nature (or God); and that the government's main role is to protect those rights from the desire and will of other's against to take those natural rights.

According to John Locke, a government is necessary to protect freedom from individuals, because if there were no government, no one could protect their natural rights from others. Therefor, government can only exist if the people it serves supports its existence, t<u>his is the basic principle of the social contract philosophy of John Locke</u>.

Locke argued that for a government to be legit, the citizens must be willing to delegate rights, such as laws, taxes and the use of violence when needed, so the government can secure their natural rights. <em>Locke also influenced the Founding Fathers with the idea of a limited government with separation of powers </em>to control that the government would limit only to protect those alienable rights and wouldn't become a tyranny. John Locke stated that if a government fails to serve it's purpose, people have the natural right to replace the government.

<em>Note: The idea that all men are created equal is also influence of John Locke, but the main idea of the social contract philosophy that influenced the Founding Fathers is that government can only exist if the people serves its existence. </em>
