There are two meanings of the Sino-Mongolian translation of the word dalai in English - this word can mean both "ocean" and "<em><u>big</u></em>." In the context of Dalai Lama's title, it would be better to chose the latter meaning, given that the word Lama means "master, guru."
So the literal translation of the title would be - big master.
There were many factors that led to the rise of political machines in American cities in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. One of the major factors that led to the rise of political machines was the rise of immigrant populations who sought to gain and increase their influence in the political realm and served as a powerful political tool for political machines. Political machines worked to enfranchise these voters through a system of patronage, and bribes and would bring them out on election days to support politicians who paid political bosses or awarded government privileges to. Positive aspects of this system were that it gave some increased level of representation of immigrant populations and worked to enfranchise these new political groups. However, these machines led to a high level of corruption and hurt the meritocracy of government institutions at the time.
