Popular Sovereignty is the idea that power comes from the People. Prior to the Constitution, Power came from a King, Queen, or special class (nobility or priests). Power was concentrated within one person. The idea that a common person had the same rights as one from a noble class was revolutionary and went against all the teachings of the day. The idea that common people had the power to overthrow a ruler for being corrupt was even more revolutionary. The Constitution was often referred to as the "Grand Experiment" because none of the Founding Fathers were sure if it would actually work.

Which of the following is a way politicians in America attempt to influence the media?
ivanzaharov [21]

A is the correct answer.

The 1st Amendment, broadly, prohibits B-D.

Politicians, instead, go on Cable news shows and try to "spin" the stories to get the public to see their side of the issue. They might explain their side and why or they might spit out the party line.

Naddik [55]
I believe the answer is: c. stereotypes

Stereotypes refers to the act of Generalizing all members of a social group with a certain characteristics ( example : Asians are bad at driving, women can't do math, etc) .
To avoid stereotyping, we had to develop the awareness that human beings are unique regardless the physical and cultural similarties that may exist in a certain social group.
