History

Answer:

Well, first you'll have to identify themes of their rule.

Style of rule -

NII was obviously an autocrat (even though he, in theory anyway, had a representative  body of the peoples, the Duma. But he hung onto his absolute rule with the Fundamental  Laws (1905)), and Lenin had spoke alot of 'dictatorship of the proletariat,' both pretty absolute.

Repression (secret police, censorship) -

NII had the Okhrana, and tried to continue his father's 'Reaction.' Secret police for the purpose of preserving the status quo, keeping the Tsars in power.  

Lenin's Cheka was far more efficient, and though the total amount of the Cheka's victims in the  civil war are officially 12,000 and something(wiki it), historians widely believe this figure to be in  excess 500,000. Lenin therefore could be judged as the worse of the two.

Reform -

  • NII - Illusory Reform (October Manifesto created the Duma, and as mentioned, this had no real authority),  
  • Stolypin's land reforms did almost nothing. Lenin issues the Workers Control Decree, and also  
  • the Bolshevik Land Decree - however these were only very temporary (before a return to a very  
  • authoritarian economic set-up (strict discipline etc). These therefore could also be judged as illusory.

Similarities-  

  • Both used concessions/reform in order to maintain control. Nicholas with the October Manifesto and the creation of the Duma and Lenin with the NEP to appease the SR's and the rightists of the Bolsheviks.  
  • They both 'backtracked' on the reforms however with Lenin calling the NEP a 'tactical retreat' and would've  
  • reverted it had he been alive and Nicholas made the 1906 constitution/ Fundamental laws which limited  the Duma's powers and maintained his position as an autocrat.

Which issues did all delegates already agree with at the Constitutional convention
Zarrin [17]

The government under the Articles of Confederation gave the states much power, resulting in a weak central government that lacked adequate executive and judicial powers. After the American Revolution, the American delegates would meet again with the fate of the new nation in the balance. The weak government created under the Articles of Confederation had left these new states in a disjointed and very vulnerable position. Delegates had to act quickly to create a new government that would ensure freedom but also be strong enough to function effectively. Delegates drafted the United States Constitution, which outlined a three-pronged government that balanced the needs and guarantees of the American people.

Through the activities of this Constitutional Convention lesson plan, students will be introduced to the creation and ratification of the United States Constitution. Students will discuss and research the background of the Constitution, understand the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, examine the role that commitment had in this new republic, and connect how these freedoms and freedoms still remain in today's society

Before December 1945 how was the United States
Fed [463]

Answer:

The Great Depression

Explanation:

The United States was still suffering the Great Depression before it intervened. In 1939, Roosevelt told Americans that he wouldn't get involved in World War II, however quickly declared war after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The US would need workers as a result of the war effort, and employed thousands of people at a time. People had jobs for the first time in ages, and many economists believed that the Great Depression was truly over.
