How did President Bashar al-Assad respond to the peaceful protest

History
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The heavy sense of dictatorship and memories of the 1980s made Syrians think the wave of change in the region would never come to their country.

But it did happen. At first, people were surprised, but above all shocked that their government would fire on peaceful protesters in Deraa. Every day, the death toll increased and in reaction more people took to the street.

The movement started as protests calling for more freedom and dignity. The way the government handled the events since those first days drove more and more people to oppose President Bashar al-Assad.

At first, no-one was calling for the regime to fall. Many people had hopes that the young president would respond to their calls and punish those of the security forces who killed innocent civilians.

But the wave of killings and arrests, torture and humiliation targeting people who were not even involved in the demonstrations drove many who steered clear of politics to join the protest movement.

The new jersey plan proposed to keep a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state.
jonny [76]
The answer is True.

When creating the legislative branch, representation was an issue that was argued over constantly. The small states, like New Jersey, wanted all states to have the same representation regardless of their states population. However, big states like Virginia wanted states with more population to have more power. These two sides come to a compromise (called the Connecticut Compromise) which states that the amount of representatives in the House will be based on population while every state will have 2 senators in the Senate.
