here you go

The diplomatic neutrality of the United States was tested during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The warring nations of Britain and France both imposed trade restrictions in order to weaken each other's economies. These restrictions also disrupted American trade and threatened American neutrality. As time went on, British harassment of American ships increased. Controversial measures included British impressment of American men and seizure of American goods. After the Chesapeake Affair in June 1807, pitting the British warship Leopard against the American frigate Chesapeake, President Thomas Jefferson faced a decision regarding the situation at hand. Ultimately, he chose an economic option to assert American rights: The Embargo Act of 1807.

Impressment

Although not restricted to the presidential administrations of Jefferson and James Madison, the on-going impressment of American sailors became a key issue for the United States during the Napoleonic Wars. After witnessing the horrors of war with France, many British sailors deserted His Majesty's navy and enlisted in the American merchant marines. In order to retrieve the deserters, British "press gangs" came aboard American ships. The British, however, tended to take anyone who could pass as a British soldier – unless the sailor could prove his American citizenship. Approximately 1,000, out of the estimated 10,000 men taken from American ships, were proven to have British citizenship.1

James Madison had summed up the contrasting points of view in an 1804 letter to James Monroe:

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, no anexaste las opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta. De ahí que lo que podemos hacer en contestarla basándonos en nuestro conocimiento sobre el tema.

En 1830, en Francia, una revolución liberal puso fin a la monarquía de Carlos X e instauró en el trono a Luis Felipe de Orleans, quien se comprometió a respetar una Constitución. ¿Qué sector social ascendió al poder del Estado con este cambio de régimen político?

El sector social que ascendió al poder con este golpe de Estado fue la Burguesía.

Esa Revolución, con respaldo del proletariado permitió cambios en la monarquía Francesa, como el hecho de que la corona Francesa y ano podía ser heredada por derecho divino, sino por la aprobación del pueblo Francés, que por cierto, estaba harto de tanta injusticia y excesos por parte del anterior rey Carlos X. La Cámara de Representantes se fortaleció una vez destronado Carlos X.
