The public places great importance on a broad range of democratic ideals and principles in the United States today. Across 16 democratic values asked about in the survey – including respecting the rights of all, having a balance of power across government branches and having officials face serious consequences for misconduct – large majorities say these are very important for the country.
But evaluations of how well the country is upholding these values are decidedly mixed. And when it comes to ideals more squarely in the political arena, such as an unbiased news media, partisan cooperation and respectful political debate, broad majorities of the public – including large shares of both Republicans and Democrats – say the country is falling short.
Nine-in-ten or more say each of the 16 items is at least somewhat important for the country. About eight-in-ten or more say it is very important for the country that the rights and freedoms of all are respected (84%), officials face serious consequences for misconduct (83%), that judges are not influenced by political parties (82%), and that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed (82%).
Majorities place great importance on partisan cooperation (78% very important), independent news media (76%) and the right to peaceful protest (74%).
Comparably large shares also say it is very important that the government is open and transparent (74%) and that people who give a lot of money to elected officials do not have more political influence than other people (74%).
The public is relatively less likely to emphasize the importance of respecting the views of those who are not in the majority, respectful tone in political discourse, shared acceptance of basic facts, and government policies that reflect the views of most Americans. Still, roughly 90% call these principles at least somewhat important, including about six-in-ten who say each is very important.
Public deeply skeptical about partisan cooperation, tone of debate, influence of major political donors
About three-quarters say the U.S. is described very or somewhat well by the phrases “military leadership does not publicly express support for one party over the other” (74%) and “people are free to peacefully protest” (73%).
More than half (55%) say the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government keep the others from having too much power; and 52% think the country is described well by the phrase “everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.
However, for the remaining 12 of 16 democratic ideals and principles included in the survey, majorities say they describe the country as doing not too or not at all well.
For instance, on such core principles as an independent judiciary, just 43% say that “judges are not influenced by political parties” describes the country well; 56% say this describes the country not too or not at all well.
Larger majorities say that an open and transparent government (69%) and news organizations that do not favor a political party (70%) do not describe the country well.

How was slavery different in the roman republic than it was in the united states?
Answer:
In the Roman Empire, slaves could obtain freedom much more quickly than slaves during 1600s-1800s in North America. Also, in the Roman Empire, slaves were at times educated, held status within their households and were valued by their owners. That is not to say that all slaves within the Roman Empire had access to these aspects, but they were present and common practice within Roman society. In comparison, slaves in North America were not afforded these features, they were a source of labor and, eventually in the Southern Colonies, they became essential for the economy. Furthermore, slaves during the Roman Empire were typically ‘white’ and viewed as a person/human being. While in the North American Colonies, slaves were typically black or Indian, no white person was enslaved, and slaves were typically not viewed as having the same rights as free individuals, nor were they believed to be fully human.
Following the Treaty of Paris in 1763, what event left the vast interior of the continent open for Americans to colonize?
A.
France being removed from North America
B.
The Proclamation of 1763
C.
The Townshend Acts
D.
King George III allowing settlers to move west of the Appalachian Mountains

Option B is not correct as Proclamation forbade the colonist to settle west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Option D is not correct because of the same reasons as mentioned in option B.
Read the excerpt from an 1810 speech by Tecumseh.
You wish to prevent the Indians from doing as we wish them, to unite and let them consider their lands as the common property of the whole. You take the tribes aside and advise them not to come into this measure. . . . You want by your distinctions of Indian tribes, in allotting to each a particular, to make them war with each other. You never see an Indian endeavor to make the white people do this. You are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them onto the great lake, where they can neither stand nor work.
PLEASE HURRY. According to the excerpt, what did Tecumseh want other American Indians to do?
fight among themselves so Tecumseh could gain their land
think of their land as common American Indian property
negotiate and then agree to peace with whites
relocate to the great lake for work
Answer: Think of their land as common American Indian property
Explanation:
From the excerpt it would appear as though Tecumseh wants Indians to unite and think of their land collectively as common American Indian property which would put them in a better position to resist attempts by the government (white people) to take their land.
It would appear from the speech however, that the white people are encouraging groups not to accept this thought and little wonder because a disjointed response to the whites wanting their land would give the whites better chances of possessing Indian land.
Answer:
B
Explanation:

What was the court’s majority opinion in Gideon v. Wainwright?
Answer:
The court unanimously ruled that the Florida state law providing legal counsel only for capital crimes was unconstitutional. This ruling also overturned a previous decision (Betts v. Brady, 1942), which had established the precedent that counsel would not be provided to poor defendants who were being tried at a state level.
The court opinion (written by Justice Black) states: “We think the Court in Betts was wrong, however, in concluding that the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of counsel is not one of these fundamental rights.”

Which of the following statements is true about the Ottoman Empire?
A Mesopotamia was part of the Ottoman Empire.
B The Ottoman Empire was east of the Safavid Empire.
C Both Spain and Portugal were part of the Ottoman Empire.
D The Ottoman Empire included part of Italy.
Answer:
A. Mesopotamia was part of the Ottoman Empire.
Explanation:
Here is why B, C, or D are incorrect:
The Safavid Empire was located in present day Iran and Azerbaijan. If anyone knows basic geography and the location of the Ottoman Empire, they would know that the Ottomans were West of the Safavid Empire.Ottoman never reached Spain or Portugal. The Ottomans and Portugal were Trade partners and competed for trade however, Ottomans never had the navy or army to go up against the modern Europeans.Ottomans tried to reach Italy through heading north to Venice and moving down the peninsula to take Rome but they were stopped at Vienna. "But, would if they used ships to go from Albania to Italy?" Yeah no, the Ottoman navy was crushed at Patras and even if they had the navy to reach that land, they couldn't go up against the previously mentioned modern European armies.Final Answer would be A. Ottomans controlled Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia is Iraq and Kuwait)
Hope this helped.

Explain how the Kingdom of Songhai arose. What role did religion play in its development?
Answer:
The Songhai culture became a blend of traditional West African beliefs and the religion of Islam. Daily life was often ruled by traditions and local customs, but the law of the land was based on Islam. The slave trade became an important part of the Songhai Empire.
Explanation:
King Sunni Ali's military prowess propelled the Songhai to dominance. The empire reached its pinnacle under the reign of King Askia Muhammad, who overthrew King Ali's son, Sonni Baru, in 1492.
What happened to the Songhai empire?From the last quarter of the 16th century, the Songhai Empire began to erode along the margins, particularly in the west. This was largely owing to a series of ineffective leaders and civil battles over succession rights that had plagued the empire since King Mohammad's death in 1528.
Songhai, like the kingdoms of Ghana and Mali before it, became wealthy through trade. A select class of craftsmen existed, while slaves were largely used as farm laborers. Only under Muhammad Toure did trade flourish, with kola nuts, gold, and slaves as the principal exports.

HELPPP...Which of the following is NOT one of the natural resources needed for industrialization* A- Harbors for merchant ships B- Timber (lots of trees) for wood products C- Rivers for inland transportation D- Iron ore to construct machines and buildings
Answer:
From before the industrial revolution period the price of timber in England had been increasing as domestic quantities became more difficult to obtain. Many industries thus were forced to change to substitutes. As the industrial revolution progressed coal replaced timber for use as fuel, while brick replaced timber for use in construction.
It would be many decades, however, before iron could be used to replace timber in shipbuilding. By the eighteenth century England had not exhausted its supply of suitable domestic hardwood timber but – like the Netherlands – it imported softwood supplies. While every nation has trees and wood, ship timber is a far more limited product. The ideal woods were oak, Scots pine – but not spruce, and other large trees. Especially difficult to find were trees suitable to be masts, a crucial requirement for any sailing ship, and one that often had to be replaced after storms or wear. As suitable trees take decades to grow, in densely populated nations like England any given square meter of land could, usually, be far more valuably employed by producing foodstuffs rather than timber.
