The basic plan for the american government is given in the?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The U.S. Constitution establishes a government based on "federalism." This is the sharing of power between the national and state (as well as local) governments. This power-sharing form of government is the opposite of "centralized" governments, under which a national government maintains total power.

1. Describe what bias means, along with three guidelines you can follow to help you decide whether a source is overly biased. (4
Inessa [10]

We can say that a person is biased when their opinion or recollection of something favors one <u>person, idea, or group</u> more so than the other. It is the inability to remain impartial.

Though it cannot be denied that the statement that was given by Lum May as to the events of November 3rd, 1885 may be biased, I do not believe his account of the occurrence is overly biased. He describes the violent nature of the altercation, the burning down of Chinese homes, and the trauma that overtook the sanity of his wife.

All of these statements made by Lum May are backed by evidence such as:

  • The piles of ashes where Chinese homes once stood
  • A similar recollection of the events from hundreds of Chinese citizens who were present
  • The unstable nature of his wife's mental health.

All of this leads us to believe that Lum May is a credible source for the events of <em>November 3rd, 1885 </em>in Tacoma.

Unlike the credible testimony of Lum May, we can infer that the letter from James Wickersham is not only extremely biased in nature, but also an overwhelmingly unreliable source of information. Many of the participants of that day were indicted for their actions, giving Mr. Wickersham much to lose were he to provide accurate information.

The evidence supporting the statements of Lum May allows us to infer that her recollection of the events is credible and not overly swayed by bias. However, the contradictory statements declared by James Wickersham and the repercussions he may face should he tell the truth, point towards his letter being an unreliable and overly biased source.
