Answer:

For the answer to the question above, li thinks it means that a republic is a government of laws, that have been going over and printed out and you cannot argue with it. but men can argue and fight and not makeup such a great republic. In many countries as politically polarized as our own, the resignation of its leader amid scandal after winning re-election by an electoral landslide might have triggered insurrection if not civil war, but the wise leaders whose collective genius framed our Constitution had anticipated even this unthinkable event. Nixon accepted the consequences of his actions with such grace as he could salvage, his vice-president took over the reins of government as provided for by law, and even those who might have been less than completely satisfied with this result accepted it and got on with the nation's business pretty much as they had done before.

What caused the tension between the soviet union and the us
velikii [3]

Answer:

Stalin resented the Western Allie's delay in attacking the Germans in Europe and that the United States had tried to keep its development of the atomic bomb a secret.

Explanation:

Stalin always pressed England and the US to open another front during the 1940s as German forces were concentrating to deepen in the Soviet territory.

He believed the Western allies were on purpose to profit from the weakening of the USSR as it fought against Nazi Germany.

The delayed had enabled Nazis to redirect manpower to the Eastern front.

Stalin was annoyed since he believed the US and Britain delayed to open the second front against German troops in the West, and demanded a buffer formed from Baltic nations and Poland after the war.

The development of the atomic bomb was jealously held by the US, as it gave the supremacy on the overall outcome of the war and its unrevealing by alleged "spies" meant that the USSR and the US would start an arms race.

The rivalry in atomic weapons was quickly contested in the 1950s and soon to be followed by the space race.

Neko [114]
The Bill of Rights specifically enumerates the rights of individuals and thus provides protection against an over-powerful national government.

In clearly stating a person's inherent rights, that the government can't take away, the bill of rights protects the citizens from an over-powerful government.
