“In every free government, the people must give their assent to the laws by which they are governed. This is the true criterion

between a free government and an arbitrary one. The former are ruled by the will of the whole, expressed in any manner they may agree upon; the latter by the will of one, or a few. If the people are to give their assent to the laws, by persons chosen and appointed by them, the manner of the choice and the number chosen, must be such, as to possess, be disposed, and consequently qualified to declare the sentiments of the people; for if they do not know, or are not disposed to speak the sentiments of the people, the people do not govern, but the sovereignty is in a few. Now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people, without having it so numerous and unwieldy, as to be subject in great measure to the inconveniency of a democratic government….”

Describe conditions at Bosque Redondo.
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Like some internment camps involving several tribes, the Bosque Redondo had serious problems. About 400 Mescalero Apaches were placed there before the Navajos. The Mescaleros and the Navajo had a long tradition of raiding each other; the two tribes had many disputes during their encampment. Furthermore, the initial plan was for around 5,000 people, certainly not 10,000 men, women, and children. Water and firewood were major issues from the start; the water was brackish and the round grove of trees was quite small. Nature and humans both caused crop failures every year. The corn crop was infested with army worms and failed repeatedly. The Pecos River flooded and washed out the head gates the irrigation system. The Navajo began leaving and the remaining refused to plant a crop. The non-Indian settlers also suffered as they were also trying to feed their starving people on the Bosque Redondo. There was inept management of supplies purchased for the reservation and it cost the army as much as $1.5 million a year to feed the Indians.

Why did imperialists support the spanish-american war apex?
serg [7]
Imperialist supported the Spanish-American War because it would result in America spreading their political and economic power.

The Spanish-American War saw Cuba fighting against Spain. In this case, the US took the side of Cuba. The goal was to get rid of Spanish influence in Cuba, as the ruler of the Spanish government had treated Cuban citizens unfairly.

Besides getting rid of the Spanish rule, this war would also help America gain access to new markets to sell their goods and new resources. Ultimately, this experience would help the US gain more power as the treaty that ended this war resulted in the US receiving territories like Guam and Puerto Rico.
