Answer:
The purpose of the Great White Fleet was to demonstrate the military strength of the United States.
Explanation:
The Great White Fleet was a group of 16 battleships belonging to the United States Navy, which sailed around the world from December 16, 1907 to February 22, 1909 at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt. The fleet was so named because the hulls - except for gold decorations on the bow - were painted white.
The fleet intended to demonstrate American naval power was impressive, but technically outdated. When the HMS Dreadnought was launched on February 10, 1906, the prototype for the next generation of battleships, the large combat ship, was already in use, and the first US dreadnought ship, the USS South Carolina, was just being equipped. The two oldest ships in the fleet, the USS Kearsarge and the USS Kentucky, were out of date and no longer fit for combat, and two other battleships, the USS Maine and the USS Alabama, had to be replaced in San Francisco due to technical difficulties.
In 2008 Barack Obama won, but his major Democratic opponent was Hillary Clinton - a woman. The republican candidate for Vice-President was Sarah Palin, also a woman ( not the first female candidate for a vice-president though).

If we were to be forced into a system such as a dictatorship, the people would have no say. With the current system of government, the people can elect representatives who decide for the people which is what we want, instead of a government who has complete control over everyone and everything.
