Question 9 (1 point)

Orlov [11]

<u>Answers to your questions</u>:

<em>Which was part of Reagan's political agenda as he campaigned for the presidency in 1980?</em>

<h2>decreasing the size of the federal government</h2>

<em>During his campaign, Ronald Reagan called for a constitutional amendment to reverse Roe v. Wade. What group of voters responded most positively to Reagan's position on this issue?</em>

<h2>conservative Christians</h2>

<u>Historical details</u>:

In his campaign for the presidency in 1980, Ronald Reagan promised to decrease taxes and reduce the size of the federal government. He also promised to improve the economy, restore faith in the nation, and make the US military stronger

In his inaugural address in 1981, Reagan said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." He talked much about lowering taxes and reducing the role government played in solving people's problems. He pushed for huge tax cuts in 1981 ... but then the government deficit soared and Congress (with President Reagan's signature) passed laws raising taxes again in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987 -- undoing much of the original tax cutting that had been done in 1981.

During Reagan's presidency, there were improvements in the economy and strong positive national feelings. But while Reagan talked about smaller government, federal government expenditure got bigger during Reagan's presidency, as it did under all presidencies in the second half of the 20th century. It's hard to promise smaller government and at the same time increase military spending (which was a Reagan priority). Federal government spending has gone up by about 2.3% (on average) under all presidents since World War II. It just depended on what programs they spent their money on. For Reagan, the priority was military spending.

As for Reagan's promises about a constitutional amendment to reverse Roe v. Wade, those promises played well with conservative Christians, who supported him. And while in office as president, Reagan continued to make many powerful statements against abortion. But he did not actively push for political or judicial action to change the laws concerning abortion in the country. <em>President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, </em>a biography written by Lou Cannon (1991), stated: "While I do not doubt Reagan’s sincerity in advocating an anti-abortion amendment, he invested few political resources toward obtaining this goal."

1. Explain why Tocqueville regards the principle of individualism as such a crucial social value.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The answers are below.

Explanation:

1. Tocqueville believes that individualism comprises two fundamental aspects: first, a denunciation of the despotic dangers that threaten democratic societies when their members, dominated by the individualist tendency, withdraw to the private sphere and disregard responsibilities that correspond to them, as citizens; and, secondly, a proposal to overcome, in a humanistic key, the perspective that conceives of individualism as an anthroponomic figure characteristic of liberal democracy.

2. The main problem that Tocqueville arises throughout Democracy in America is that of the conformation of the democraticus furnace and hence its interest in thoroughly analyzing the nature, consequences, inconveniences and possible remedies to such transformation.

3. The example of American society - Tocqueville maintains - teaches us to distinguish between this erroneous, grossly utilitarian and individualistic view of one's own interest, and an enlightened and "well understood" vision of it. The first one reduces the individual interest to the merely economic, conceives it naively as if it were something natural and previously constituted to the social relationship, tends to confuse it with selfishness and, finally, believes illusory that the general interest is nothing more than sum of private interests. The second, on the contrary, defines the particular interest as a social construction and insists, from there, on the need to make individuals understand that they are not self-sufficient and that their own interest is closely linked to the fair construction of a common interest.

4. In the way that Tocqueville considered equality as a great political and social idea of his time, the author argued that the United States was the most advanced example of equality in action.

During which part of history did the concept of race begin? Group of answer choices

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The concept of race began during the Renaissance.

Explanation:

The division of people according to their faith became problematic when in Spain after the conclusion of the Reconquista in 1492 the forced conversion of the numerous Jews to Christianity was prescribed and as a result many of the compulsory “converts” secretly continued to cultivate their previous religion. In this context, in addition to the purity of faith, the idea of a purity of blood was also significant; the term "race" was used to denote the origin of people, families or larger groups.

European colonialism (including the conquest of America and the transatlantic slave trade) has played an important role in the further establishment of the concept of race and the development of racial theories since the 15th and 16th centuries, thereby continuously replenishing new knowledge of previously unknown parts of the world, ethnic groups and customs Europe came. The knowledge of foreign “races” in those days was largely based on reports from conquerors and missionaries who were strongly racist. In the travel reports of that time, the motif of the “noble savage”, the religious interpretation based on biblical genesis, or the equation of foreign peoples with the lost tribes of Israel were also popular.
