Vital interest and the instruments of power
Education or health services.
The orders were to take everything that they can, and burn and ruin everything that they can't take. The idea was to destroy infrastructure completely so as to weaken the southern population and the southern support for the war. They would burn farms and pillage everything leaving nothing standing.
Answer:
1. The US government is based on ideas of limited government, including natural rights, popular sovereignty, republicanism, and social contract. Limited government is the belief that the government should have certain restrictions in order to protect the individual rights and civil liberties of citizens.
2. The Constitution diluted power even more by creating a federal form of government. In this way power and authority would be shared between central, state and local governments.
3. I see these ideas reflected in the nation today because they still are applied to the constitution.
4. Yes I do think that the government lives up to the democratic ideas supported by the founders because democracy is still in the U.S to this day.
Hope this helps
