Answer:

George Floyd's death occurred on May 25, 2020, when Derek Chauvin - a white police officer - arrested Floyd and knelt on his neck for approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds after he was handcuffed and lay face down on the floor.

The incident was filmed by several attendees who asked Chauvin to remove his knee from Floyd's neck. Likewise, the police officers were wearing body cameras, which also recorded the entire interaction with Floyd. Although the footage from operated body cameras was eventually also released, this did not happen until months after the incident itself and the publication of the private video footage. The day after the arrest - after several eyewitnesses had released their video footage of the incident - all four police officers were fired. Two autopsy reports subsequently found that Floyd had been killed, although the conclusions of the two reports as to the cause of death are not conclusive.

The incident, including in particular various video recordings, created a great deal of attention worldwide. In the United States, the incident led to large-scale demonstrations organized by Black Lives Matter around various American cities. Several of the demonstrations in the United States were accompanied by various forms of swelling, violence, street fighting and other forms of crime. President Donald Trump in several cases ended up approving the deployment of extra police officers to reduce the violence that ensued following the demonstrations. The case was a wake-up call to American society regarding institutional racism, especially in police agencies, as well as a sign of their brutality.

How are various minority<br> communities gaining political power?

zheka24 [161]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

How are various minority communities gaining political power?

The way minority communities are gaining political power is through organizing to formally express their opinions through advocating social issues concerning the necessities of these communities.

They are formally organized and using social media to express their messages, inviting people to join, donate, and participate in their political causes.

This way, they are strengthing their relationships and increasing the number of members that are actively participating. This allows them to have a specific weight or political presence that can pressure the government or other instances. That is the way many African American, Hispanic, Asian, and LGTB groups have increased their presence in US politics.

Explain the major difference between the concept "big" government versus the concept of "small" government

Igoryamba

Small government is a Republican strategy to lower the government budget and to redirect the surplus of money into other programs such as tax cuts for the wealthy and the corporations. Small government or Republicanism is about lowering corporate tax from 35% to 15% this way the government will have less money on entitlement programs. Republicanism is all about the deregulation of the banking industry by merging investment banks with saving banks like it was done before the advent of the Glass-Steagall act which brought the financial sector and the economy to its knees.

Small government is reducing most social programs like Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid , and Healthcare insurance, for instance, those who are against the Affordable care act are the proponents of small government. Small government is about expending America hegemony in the world by fighting unnecessary wars that benefit the weapons industry.

The Democrats are the proponents of big government, they love to spend money to expand the government. Under the leadership of president Franklin D. Roosevelt , a Democrat, who was elected for 4 terms, America has experienced a period of real growth right after the great depression of 1929. First, unemployment insurance has been introduced, so people who are unable to work temporarily can collect some benefits. Social security benefits against the lost of earnings due to retirement was introduced by FDR.The Glass steagall act had been put in place and the security exchange commission that protects the poor investors from white collar criminals was put in place by Roosevelt.

In other to create these programs, the Roosevelt administration had to collect 90% of taxes from the wealthiest Americans and these rich Americans said FDR administration had no business in spending billions of dollars for all these programs and increased the national debt. During the FDR administration , the federal government was the largest employer in the nation.

In conclusion, liberal Americans benefited from the program and conservative Americans were against it.
