What changes do you think made the biggest impact on American society and culture in the 1950s?

History
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
5 0

During the 1950s, a sense of uniformity pervaded American society. Conformity was common, as young and old alike followed group norms rather than striking out on their own. Though men and women had been forced into new employment patterns during World War II, once the war was over, traditional roles were reaffirmed. Men expected to be the breadwinners; women, even when they worked, assumed their proper place was at home. Sociologist David Riesman observed the importance of peer-group expectations in his influential book, The Lonely Crowd. He called this new society "other-directed," and maintained that such societies lead to stability as well as conformity. Television contributed to the homogenizing trend by providing young and old with a shared experience reflecting accepted social patterns.

Compare democracy and monarchy in terms of the rights and responsibilities of citizens
Paul [167]
A democracy and a monarchy are very different in terms of the rights and responsibilities of citizens, since in a democracy the citizens have the right to overthrow or remove their elected officials, where as in a monarchy they have no choice over who rules them. Citizens therefore have less political responsibility in a monarchy, however.

kaheart [24]
<span>One of the most notable protests took place in the spring of 1932 as VETERANS marched from all over the country and converged on Washington, D.C., to demand a BONUS PAYMENT.  The bonus was due these men in 1945, but economic circumstances led them to plead for an early payment. Over 20,000 men and their families formed a Hooverville on the Capitol mall hoping to be heard. Instead of meeting their demands or listening to their concerns, Hoover called in the U.S. Army, under the command of GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, who, by engaging THE BONUS ARMY, scattered the men and their families.

"The Bonus Army" is how the veterans' march was known.  The overreaction by President Hoover and General MacArthur did not help Hoover when he was running for reelection that year.  Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Hoover by an Electoral College landslide of 472 to 59.  </span>

Which of the following group was most likely to oppose the Marbury v. Madison decision?
ycow [4]

Assuming that the groups you have to choose from are:

  • A. Believers in a strong national government
  • B. Advocates for states' rights
  • C. Supporters of abolition
  • D. Proponents of western expansion

Believers in a strong national government (A) were most likely to oppose the <em>Marbury v. Madison</em> decision.

This famous 1803 Supreme Court case opposed William Marbury, backed by ex-President John Adams, and James Madison, backed by President Thomas Jefferson.

Adams was a Federalist, a believer in a centralized, national government.

Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, a defender of states' rights (B), western expansion (D), and the abolition of slavery (C).

<em>Marbury v. Madison</em> was won by the Democratic-Republicans, because the Supreme Court ruled that Madison had a right to prevent Marbury from getting the job he wanted as a justice of the peace commissioned by the former president.

What does this paragraph from federalist no 51 mean? “Justice is the purpose of government and civil society. If the government
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Answer below because its longer :)

Explanation:

When they say "strong groups" they mean factions. These are interest groups basically. The framers of the constitution recognize that factions are inevitable but by creating a stronger central government, we can balance these factions and form a better government.

Remember, the federalists used these papers to support the new constitution. So this instilled some fear about the out comes of a weak central government that the Articles of confederation had.

Hope this is somewhat correct or useful! :D
