Answer:

The Founding Fathers founded America upon the basis that the government exists to protect and defend people’s basic rights and that if the government fails to do so, the nation has the right to form a new government.

With that, the Framers created a series of mechanisms that make that possible. It is a broad system that makes it possible for all citizens to participate in a certain way. There are many ways to participate:

The main one is to vote in local, state and national elections.

Citizens can influence their representatives by signing petitions defending a certain point or asking something.

Another way to influence representatives is to lobby for laws that are of interest.

Citizens are also allowed to protest as a way to participate politically, protests can be in a form of marches, boycotts, sit-ins, and other forms.

And also, the citizen can run for office or hold public office.

All of these methods are important, citizens have to vote and make their voices heard through their representatives or directly by protests. Democracy is made by all of us.

Describe the emergence of cognitive psychology and neuroscience – what prompted the development of these fields, and what is sig
dusya [7]

Cognitive psychology and neuroscience emerged gradually, as psychology and its existing strands were not sufficient to describe, explain and even satisfactorily resolve aspects and problems related to human behavior. With that, we can say that cognitive psychology and neuroscience emerged with the advancement and evolution of psychology that was influenced by the need that society presented.

Cognitive psychology and neuroscience allow us to study and understand the mental capacities of human beings and their relationship with the brain and its functioning. Without these two sciences, this understanding would be impossible and we would not understand the human being efficiently.

ASAP What could jazz musicians do to help increase the exposure of jazz in today's culture?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: In the early twentieth century jazz was a regionally based, racially defined dance

music that featured solo and collective improvisation. Originating in New Orleans, jazz

soon spread throughout the country as musicians left the South for better opportunities—

both economic and social—elsewhere in the country. Jazz greatly increased in popularity

during the 1920s. No longer a regional music dominated by African Americans, jazz in

the 1920s helped define a generation torn between the Victorian society of nineteenth

century America and the culture of modernity that was quickly defining the early

twentieth century. Jazz and its eventual popularity represented the cultural tensions

present in modern America, and the acceptance of jazz reflected the degree to which

Americans rejected or accepted traditional values. This dissertation examines the

historical context of this larger transformation America underwent in the 1920s

Hope it helps :)
