Answer:The Battle of Gonzales was the first military engagement of the Texas Revolution. It was fought near Gonzales, Texas, on October 2, 1835, between rebellious Texian settlers and a detachment of Mexican army soldiers.

In 1831, Mexican authorities lent the settlers of Gonzales a small cannon to help protect them from frequent Comanche raids. Over the next four years, the political situation in Mexico deteriorated, and in 1835 several states revolted. As the unrest spread, Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea, the commander of all Mexican troops in Texas, felt it unwise to leave the residents of Gonzales with a weapon and requested the return of the cannon.

When the initial request was refused, Ugartechea sent 100 dragoons to retrieve the cannon. The soldiers neared Gonzales on September 29, but the colonists used a variety of excuses to keep them from the town, while secretly sending messengers to request assistance from nearby communities. Within two days, up to 140 Texians gathered in Gonzales, all determined not to give up the cannon. On October 1, settlers voted to initiate a fight. Mexican soldiers opened fire as Texians approached their camp in the early hours of October 2. After several hours of desultory firing, the Mexican soldiers withdrew.[1]

Although the skirmish had little military significance, it marked a clear break between the colonists and the Mexican government and is considered to have been the start of the Texas Revolution. News of the skirmish spread throughout the United States, where it was often referred to as the "Lexington of Texas". The cannon's fate is disputed. It may have been buried and rediscovered in 1936, or it may have been seized by Mexican troops after the Battle of the Alamo.

While direct democracy and representative democracy are both forms of rule ‘by the people’, representative democracy also involv
shtirl [24]
Hey there!

The ancient Greeks used direct democracy, and we use representative. The difference is that first of all, with a direct democracy, the opinions of the people directly affect the outcome of the decision being made. Those eligible to vote voted in assemblies, and the response of the majority ruled.

Here- it's a bit different. We use representative democracy- meaning that we elect representatives to vote and speak for us on the behalf of the people.

There's our difference right there. A direct democracy - like I said is where decisions directly affect outcomes, as opposed to where representatives are elected on behalf of the people to make laws and represent their voters and territory.

Your answer is C.

Hope this helps!

Levart [38]
Washington gives this as the Confederation's reaction based on the past government that hasn't been responsive to the people which are slow and has a different purpose. He was citing that this is from one point of view could be better than the present has to offer.

Washington was trying to let the Confederation see the possibilities that the new type of government that is being introduced would also experience problems before it can be finally settled.  He also gave a further situation where he could not see the success of this, instead of a rebellion from the changes that would come.
