Answer: Liberty, republicanism, and Independence

Explanation: First of all, there's no way this is a College level question, lol. From slavery to women's rights, from religious life to voting, American attitudes would be forever changed. Some changes would be felt immediately. Slavery would not be abolished for another hundred years, but the Revolution saw the dawn of an organized abolitionist movement. English traditions such as land inheritance laws were swept away almost immediately. The Anglican Church in America could no longer survive. After all, the official head of the Church of England was the British monarch. States experimented with republican ideas when drafting their own constitutions during the war. All these major changes would be felt by Americans before the dawn of the nineteenth century. The American Revolution produced a new outlook among its people that would have ramifications long into the future. Groups excluded from immediate equality such as slaves and women would draw their later inspirations from revolutionary sentiments. Americans began to feel that their fight for liberty was a global fight. Future democracies would model their governments on ours.

Answer: Ok so here this is a more longer version of my answer.

Explanation:The Founders believed that the main purpose of government was to protect people's basic rights. Almost all citizens have the right to participate in governing our nation. They may choose among many different ways of doing this.

Ways citizens can participate:

•looking for information in newspapers, magazines, and reference materials and judging its accuracy

•voting in local, state, and national elections

participating in a political discussion

•trying to persuade someone to vote a certain way

•signing a petition

•wearing a button or putting a sticker on the car

•writing letters to elected representatives

•contributing money to a party or candidate

•attending meetings to gain information, discuss issues, or lend support

•campaigning for a candidate

•lobbying for laws that are of special interest

•demonstrating through marches, boycotts, sit-ins, or other forms of protest

•serving as a juror

•running for office

•holding public office

•serving the country through military or other service

•disobeying laws and taking the consequences to demonstrate that a law or policy is unjust

Should citizens participate?

Many citizens do not participate in our government. They don't vote or participate in most of the other ways you have just discussed. However, some people believe that citizens have a responsibility to participate.

Deciding whether to participate and how much time to spend participating is important.

An alien is a person who is not a citizen. Many aliens can become citizens by following certain rules and procedures.

An example may help. Imagine that you have hired a company to repair your bicycle. Before you hired them, you would want to be sure they could repair bicycles. Then you would want to make sure that they did what you had hired them to do. Suppose the company did a good job. Then you would not worry about checking on them if your sister's bicycle needed repairs a few weeks later.

The same is true with the government. We should be sure the people we "hire" (elect) can do the job we are hiring them for. Once they get the job, we should keep an eye on them to make sure they are doing that job. If they do a good job, we may not watch them as closely. If they do a bad job, we may watch them very closely and may even decide to replace them.

Participation in government is in our own self-interest. The amount of time we spend participating will probably depend on how well we think our elected officials are doing. If everything is going well, we will spend less time than if we are concerned that someone is violating our rights. If we are pleased with the government, we may vote and do little else. If we are dissatisfied, however, we will probably take other types of action.

Why was the battle of Midway such an important battle in the war for the Pacific? Explain your answer.

Hoochie [10]

Answer: It effectively ended Japanese Naval Supremacy.

Explanation:

Before the Battle of Midway, the Japanese were a very formidable force in the Pacific. Their navy boasted of several aircraft carriers which allowed them to sink ships with planes and they used this to devastating effect against the Americans at Pearl Harbor and the Australians.

The Japanese knew that if they could capture Midway, they would get the opportunity to negotiate favorably with the Americans and the Americans knew they could not lose Midway due to its strategic location.

The Americans broke the Japanese code for the battle and figured out their plans and used this to inflict a heavy loss on the Japanese by sinking 4 of their aircraft carriers. The Japanese Navy never recovered from this and for the rest of the war, they were on the defensive.

Have political parties contributed to divisiveness or have they kept the country intact? Please Exsplain.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

They have kept the country intact

Explanation:

I think this is a very interesting question. In my opinion, I think they have kept the country intact, look at it this way. Political parties means that there exists choice for the people. Absence of political parties makes it a 1 man ruling without the necessary checks and balances. Like in that of a monarchical ruling t, or military ruling. Essentially, one can do and undo as one wishes.

Now, the advent of political parties brings choice, meaning the people can choose. In a situation where party A doesn't fulfill its political campaign promises, they are at risk of being voted out by the people for party B. Party B themselves won't sit down idle, while not in power, they wake the people up to the wrongdoings of party A.

Like I said, the presence of political parties brings choice to the people, and also creates checks and balances. So, yes, they have kept the country intact.
