Between 1893 and 1908, how many attempts were there to get suffrage on state ballots?

geniusboy [140]

Women's suffrage in the United States of America, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of more than half a century, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920.

The demand for women's suffrage began to gather strength in the 1840s, emerging from the broader movement for women's rights. In 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention, passed a resolution in favor of women's suffrage despite opposition from some of its organizers, who believed the idea was too extreme. By the time of the first National Women's Rights Convention in 1850, however, suffrage was becoming an increasingly important aspect of the movement's activities.

The first national suffrage organizations were established in 1869 when two competing organizations were formed, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the other by Lucy Stone. After years of rivalry, they merged in 1890 as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) with Anthony as its leading force.

One of the major conflicts between 16th- and 17th-century Protestants and Catholics was over the style of worship services. Wher

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Art plays a smaller role in Protestantism, due to its iconoclast approach. On the other hand, it has played an important role for the Catholic Church to express religious feelings around the Catholic faith.

Explanation:

Art in the Catholic Church consists of all visual works created to illustrate, supplement, and tangibly portray the teachings of this religion. This includes sculptures, paintings, mosaics, metal art, embroidery, and architecture. Catholic art has played an important role in history and the development of Western art since at least the fourth century. The main theme in Catholic art has been the life and times of Jesus Christ, along with his disciples, saints, and Old Testament events.

The Protestant Reformation during the 16th century in Europe gave rise to a new artistic tradition that adhered to Protestant themes and diverged drastically from the tradition of southern Europe and the humanist art produced during the Renaissance. In turn, the Catholic Counter-Reformation reacted against and responded to Protestant criticisms of art in the Catholic Church producing a more astringent style of Catholic art. Protestant religious art embraced the values of Protestantism and helped the proliferation of Protestantism, but greatly reduced the amount of religious art produced in Protestant countries. Artists in Protestant countries diversified into secular art forms such as history painting, landscape painting, portrait painting and still life painting.

The Protestant Reformation gave rise to a wave of iconoclasm, (destruction of religious images). All forms of Protestantism showed hostility towards religious images, considering them expressions of idolatry, especially sculpture and large paintings. The illustrations in books and prints were less resisted, since they were smaller and more private. Protestant leaders, especially Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin, actively removed images of churches controlled by their followers and branded the great majority of religious images, even simple crosses, of idolatry.

Catholic art may be more effective in terms of spiritual feelings because it looks to overwhelm the senses of the observer, which can be adequate for spirituality.

Explain why America is a representative democracy and not a direct democracy.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The United States of America is considered to be a representative democracy because American citizens elect officials serve as their representation in government. For example, a U.S. Senator. There are 100 Senators, 2 Senators representing each of the 50 States. Those Senators are elected by the inhabitants of their state for one reason; and that's because they will represent those inhabitants in government. This is why campaigning and appealing is so crucial to winning elected office; you want people to entrust you with the task of representing them.

A simpler way to imagine a representative democracy is like this:

Citizen ⇒ Representative ⇒ Government

The concept of a direct democracy differs from that of a representative democracy because unlike above, in which there is a "middleman" between the citizens and the government, there is no middleman in the case of a direct democracy. That is why it's "direct."
