Here are two truths about the Kellogg-Briand Pact.
1. It wanted to outlaw war, so that nothing like The Great War would ever happen again.
2. It failed to have any real impact in keeping nations from pursuing war, and we now call "The Great War" World War I, because it was followed by World War II.
French Minister of Foreign Affairs Aristide Briand and US Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg were key proponents of the plan, which was signed by various dignitaries at the White House in 1928. The pact stated that the signing nations were "persuaded that the time has come when a frank renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy should be made," and so the signers of the treaty declared their opposition to war. By their example they hoped to encourage other nations of the world to join them in the same commitment.
The pact had little effect.
Its important to first understand what civic duty means. Civic duties include, for example, obeying the laws of the country, paying the taxes levied by the government, or serving on a jury or as a witness in court. These are things that are required by citizens of a country. Thus to go beyond ones civic duty would be to do more than what is required of oneself for the betterment of the community. With that in mind the correct answers would be 1) Voting in local, state and national elections; 2) Volunteering to work at a local homeless shelter; and 4) Learning about major national issues being debated in Congress. <em>These three things are not required of citizens and thus would be going beyond ones civic duties. </em>
<span>The French Revolution, though it seemed a failure in 1799 and appeared nullified by 1815, had far-reaching results. In France the bourgeois and landowning classes emerged as the dominant power. Feudalism was dead; social order and contractual relations were consolidated by the Code Napoléon.</span>
The correct answer is Lyman Beecher
Beecher was a Presbyterian clergyman and among the outstanding American preachers and revivalists before the Civil War. He was also cofounder and leader of the American Temperance Society which was at the fore front in pressing for the mandatory prohibition of alcohol
The best answer to this question is the first choice because the 1st amendment limits the power of government in order to protect the unalienable rights of American citizens.
