2. Peacekeeping today implicates the stationing of troops in order to separate oposing parties as a first stage in the peacefull search of a common solution suitable for both parties.
The Vienna Congress in fact was a convent that was aimed at redesigning the map of Europe, goal was to restore France in it's limits of 1789 and redistribute the territorial gains of the French Empire to those countries they had been taken from.
Certain countries to close to Napoleonic ideas and way of life were simply ignored or overruled and smaler ones simply integrated to larger ones. Belgium for example was used as buffer zone between the Netherlands and France as a protection from any eventual attack coming from France in the Future. Thiscountry was an artificial creation of the Vienna Congress, it was annexed to the Empire of the House of Orange as a southern province before a revolution in 1830 split them from the Netherlands into independancy.
These countries were partly occupied by massive troops formations in order to fight any trial of opposing the new established government. There was no search of a peacefull solution, but an imposed one!
The electoral college was formed for the people to vote, so I would say that it is a form of indirect democracy, because the people make the decision by voting but they do not make their decision directly.
Hey there!
The answer is A. That slavery was still allowed in a free nation.
One of the things the colonists fought for was freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press along with other things.
However, for hundreds of thousands of slaves torn away from their homes, they had none of these freedoms. They were considered inferior and not people.
A paradox is a statement that seems absurd of self-contradictory, which this statement very much is. If the U.S. is a free nation, then why do hundreds of thousands of people living there have no freedoms, stolen from them by the very people who advocated for their own freedom?
Hope this helps!
