To determine which one of the responses demonstrates a democratic value, we need to understand what democratic values are. Democratic values are principles or ideals that support the belief in the power and authority of the people in a society.
Out of the given responses, the one that best aligns with a democratic value is:
Lisa places a sign of a current political candidate in her front yard.
By placing a sign of a political candidate, Lisa is exercising her freedom of expression and actively participating in the democratic process. This action shows her support for a particular candidate and her engagement in the political system.
The other responses, such as Mike receiving a promotion for his hard work, John receiving a scholarship, and Angela refusing to appear for jury duty, do not directly relate to democratic values.
So, the correct answer is:

The requirements that Jose needs to meet in order to become a U.S. citizen are:
- He must wait at least five years.
- He must take a citizenship test.
These are the correct responses. The naturalization process in the United States typically requires an individual to have lived in the country as a permanent resident for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen). Additionally, applicants are required to pass a citizenship test, which includes questions about U.S. history, government, and civic rights and responsibilities. The option of marrying a U.S. citizen or promising to serve in the military are not mentioned as requirements for citizenship in this scenario.
Under the Articles, each state sent one delegate to Congress. Thus each state, no matter its size or population, had one vote. Congress did have the power to declare war. It could appoint military officers, coin money, and operate post offices. It was also responsible for foreign affairs and could sign treaties.

Based on the excerpt from the text, one potential problem with the Articles of Confederation was:
Smaller states had the same voting power in Congress as larger states.
This can be inferred from the sentence "each state, no matter its size or population, had one vote." The equal representation of states, regardless of their size or population, can lead to unequal representation and influence in decision-making processes, potentially disadvantaging larger states.
