What can be inferred about the story adapted from Book IX of The Odyssey?

How does the organization of the Senate allow a small minority of the population to have significant power in the legislative pr

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Due to each state having an equal number of senators, states with a small population have the same power in the Senate as states with a larger population

Explanation:

Because each state has 2 senators, states like Wyoming(which has under 600,000 people) have the same power as California(with well over 35 million people). This is actually on purpose, as the writers of the constitution wanted to avoid a situation where Virginia(by far the most populous state at the time of the writing of the constitution) controlled politics in the entire country, especially since the states were much less united in their infancy.

Many people criticize this aspect of the Senate, as it allows a minority of the population to make laws for the majority, but it is still an open question that is actively debated today. The question itself is worded in a way that seems to portray this topic in a negative light, but it's best to maintain an objective tone when answering unless the question asks you to defend a position or your opinion on a topic. I hope this has helped.

How have international relations shaped and guided the development of the United States, specifically the nation’s government, p

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

International relations, the study of the relations of states with each other and with international organizations and certain subnational entities (e.g., bureaucracies, political parties, and interest groups). It is related to a number of other academic disciplines, including political science, geography, history, economics, law, sociology, psychology, and philosophy.

The field of international relations emerged at the beginning of the 20th century largely in the West and in particular in the United States as that country grew in power and influence. Whereas the study of international relations in the newly founded Soviet Union and later in communist China was stultified by officially imposed Marxist ideology, in the West the field flourished as the result of a number of factors: a growing demand to find less-dangerous and more-effective means of conducting relations between peoples, societies, governments, and economies; a surge of writing and research inspired by the belief that systematic observation and inquiry could dispel ignorance and serve human betterment; and the popularization of political affairs, including foreign affairs. The traditional view that foreign and military matters should remain the exclusive preserve of rulers and other elites yielded to the belief that such matters constituted an important concern and responsibility of all citizens. This increasing popularization of international relations reinforced the idea that general education should include instruction in foreign affairs and that knowledge should be advanced in the interests of greater public control and oversight of foreign and military policy.

This new perspective was articulated by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson (1913–21) in his program for relations between the Great Powers following a settlement of World War I. The first of his Fourteen Points, as his program came to be known, was a call for “open covenants of peace, openly arrived at” in place of the secret treaties that were believed to have contributed to the outbreak of the war. The extreme devastation caused by the war strengthened the conviction among political leaders that not enough was known about international relations and that universities should promote research and teaching on issues related to international cooperation and war and peace.

International relations scholarship prior to World War I was conducted primarily in two loosely organized branches of learning: diplomatic history and international law. Involving meticulous archival and other primary-source research, diplomatic history emphasized the uniqueness of international events and the methods of diplomacy as it was actually conducted. International law—especially the law of war—had a long history in international relations and was viewed as the source of fundamental normative standards of international conduct. The emergence of international relations was to broaden the scope of international law beyond this traditional focal point.

Hunter-Best [27]

The correct answer to this open question es the following.

Although the question is incomplete and does not provide a list to elaborate on the timeline, we can say that the events that are important to understanding the Vietnam War are the following.

First, we have to understand what happened during the French colonization period in the region of Vietnam, which was known as French Indochina. The problems arose until the degree that the Soviet Union, China, and finally the United States had to intervene in the conflict between the two Vietnams.

During World War II, Vietnamese leader H* Chi Minh created the League for the Independence of Vietnam, and in 1945 he promulgates the independence of North Vietnam, establishing Communism.

That is when the US entered into the conflict because President Harry Truman was decided to stop the Soviet Union and its spread of Communism. The US supported South Vietnam. China and the USSR supported North Vietnam.

In 1954, the Geneva Accords established the border between North and South Vietnam. Ngo Dinh became the leader of South Vietnam. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy sent troops and helicopters to Vietnam.

In 1964, after the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the US Congress authorized more powers for the US President to use the force against North Vietnam.

In 1965, President Johnson send more troops to Vietnam, but in America, people started to question the US involvement in that war. By 1967, young people, students, and citizens if the US took the streets and protest against US participation in the Vietnam War.

In January 1968, the Tet Offensive represents a major set back for the US. Richard Nixon became President of the US in November 1968. President Nixon started what was known as Vietnamization, and order some US troops stationed in Vietnam to return to the US.

2. Address the idea of liberty and Republicanism for both

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

To pro-slavery factions, liberty and republicanism were to a limited extent, that is to say, they only applied to white people, not to black people or to enslaved people. Pro-slavery factions thought that it was their right and freedom to enslave other people to work for them.

To abolitionists, liberty and republicanism were universal and applied for everyone. This meant that slavery was not to be permitted, because it went against the very liberty of a whole group of people.
