Answer: The theory that was used to justify claims of racial superiority was social Darwinism.

Social Darwinism was a group of ideologies that arose in the late 1800s in which Charles Darwin´s theory of evolution by natural selection, was used to justify certain social views.

According to the theory, the weak were diminished while the strong grew in power over the weak.

One of the persons who adopted social Darwinism was Adolf Hitler, who considered that the German master race had grown weak due to the influence of non-Aryans, so he targeted certain groups of people that he considered biologically inferior for extermination such as jews, homosexuals, etc.

zhuklara [117]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Who makes decisions to manage or regulate conflict in our society?

Answer: The federal government, the state government, the United States Congress with its two chambers(the House of Representatives and the Senate), and the judicial branch with all of its courts.

How are those "decision-makers" selected and by whom

Answer: United States citizens have the right to select the President of the United States and their representatives at the federal and state levels.  That is why they vote.

The leader of the United States is the President, who also is the chief of the executive branch and its cabinet. He is the most important decision-maker. At the state level, it is the governor. However, the US Congress and the state's congress also play a key roll in creating legislation.
