@WriteTeacher Jen didn't ask for the answers all she did was post the questions, I mean she/he/they could've posted the questions for other people because she did the quiz/test. On others that dont have answers you still help them or bring the to a HELPFUL website and not just say stuff like "Please note that we don't do students' homework for them." or "Once YOU have come up with attempted answers to YOUR questions, please re-post and let us know what you think. Then someone here will be happy to comment on your thinking." I get that your trying to say this isnt a site for cheating but you couldve ATLEAST led her to a site about her/his/their problems. Instead you led her/him/them to some site thats probably nothing about her questions, How should i know? It was a 404 error page
do you idiots know that she wrote that 12 mf years ago
Yea anonymous is right she wrote that when I was born and when I finish it I will give the right answers for connexs
🖤Mavis🖤 is correct 100%
1) Judicial review upholds and reinforces democracy by serving as a check on the actions of the legislative and executive branches. It ensures that laws and actions taken by these branches are in accordance with the constitution and do not infringe upon individual rights or violate the principles of democracy.
For example, let's consider the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) in the United States. The Supreme Court overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine that allowed racial segregation in public schools. This decision was based on the court's interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law. By declaring segregation unconstitutional, the court upheld the principle of equality and reinforced democracy by promoting racial integration and ending a system that deprived African American children of equal educational opportunities.
2) There are several constitutional provisions that can be considered semi-democratic because they either limited certain democratic principles or included elements of elitism. One such provision is the Electoral College in the United States. The Electoral College is an indirect method of electing the President, where the winner is determined by the number of electoral votes rather than the popular vote. This system can be considered semi-democratic because it can result in a candidate winning the presidency without receiving the majority of the popular vote.
Another example is the Senate in many countries, including the United States. The Senate typically gives each state equal representation, regardless of population. This means that smaller states have an oversized influence compared to their population. While this provision can be seen as an attempt to balance power between larger and smaller states, it can also limit the democratic principle of majority rule.
3) The reliance on elites in governing a country has been a subject of debate. Proponents argue that elites, who are often well-educated and experienced in governance, are better equipped to make informed decisions and lead the country efficiently. They argue that the ruling of the country requires expertise and that elites possess the necessary knowledge and skills.
On the other hand, critics argue that relying on elites can lead to a concentration of power and limit the representation of the diverse interests and perspectives of the population. They argue that this concentration of power can result in policies that benefit elites at the expense of the broader population.
One significant example of the reliance on elites occurred during the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970s. The Khmer Rouge implemented a radical communist regime that sought to eliminate economic inequality by forcibly removing elites and intellectuals from society. This radical approach resulted in horrific consequences, including mass killings and widespread suffering. The ruling elite in this case can be blamed for their authoritarian and oppressive actions, which caused immense harm to the country.
4) Semi-democratic masses can bring about positive impacts for a democracy by challenging the status quo, advocating for change, and holding the ruling elites accountable. By participating in protests, demonstrations, and engaging in peaceful activism, the masses can influence public opinion and drive political reform.
A significant example of semi-democratic masses bringing about positive impacts is the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. The movement, led by activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., fought against racial segregation and discrimination. Through nonviolent protests, marches, and acts of civil disobedience, the masses challenged discriminatory laws and practices. Their activism and advocacy contributed to significant legislative changes, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eradicate racial segregation and protect the voting rights of minority communities.
5) The question seems to refer to a specific president who acted as if he were above the law. However, without knowing the context or the time period, it is difficult to provide a specific answer. It is worth noting that in any democracy, the principle of equal protection under the law is a fundamental principle that guarantees that all citizens are treated equally by the government and its institutions.
If you can provide more information or clarify the context, I would be able to provide a more specific answer regarding the political controversy surrounding the president and the equal protection principle of democracy.
Please note that we don't do students' homework for them. Please use your textbook, class notes, etc., to look for information on these questions. Also here: http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/
Once YOU have come up with attempted answers to YOUR questions, please re-post and let us know what you think. Then someone here will be happy to comment on your thinking.
