Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.  They wanted a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to assure that rights and freedoms would not be compromised in any way.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

The Bill of Rights protects rights and freedoms such as:

  • freedom of speech
  • freedom of the press
  • freedom of assembly
  • rights of the accused
  • due process under the law

zhuklara [117]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Who makes decisions to manage or regulate conflict in our society?

Answer: The federal government, the state government, the United States Congress with its two chambers(the House of Representatives and the Senate), and the judicial branch with all of its courts.

How are those "decision-makers" selected and by whom

Answer: United States citizens have the right to select the President of the United States and their representatives at the federal and state levels.  That is why they vote.

The leader of the United States is the President, who also is the chief of the executive branch and its cabinet. He is the most important decision-maker. At the state level, it is the governor. However, the US Congress and the state's congress also play a key roll in creating legislation.

Which of the following best shows the American cold war policy of containment during the cold war
telo118 [61]

Answer:

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical rule of his own country. For their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their delayed entry into World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust and enmity.
