D. He opposed government support for farmers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. He opposed government support for farmers.

Explanation:

The election of 1896 was just as much a partisan battle over the future of American economic policy as the 2012 election. On this day in 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his rousing speech as a delegate to the Democratic convention declaring that mankind would not be “crucified on a cross of gold.” In the speech, Bryan, who was from the western farming state of Nebraska, advocated the inclusion of a silver standard for U.S. currency, which rallied the populist base of the Democratic Party and helped Bryan win the nomination for the presidency.

To take a step back in history, the source of the issue began with the Gold Rush in 1849, which altered the bi-metallism status quo. For decades, both gold and silver backed U.S. currency and both silver and gold species could be turned into a Sub-Treasury Mint for dollars. The government valued silver at a ratio of 16:1 to gold in ounces. With the flood of gold to the market following the Gold Rush, people could sell their silver privately and to foreign markets at a lower ratio, thus making more money. However, when silver was discovered in Nevada in the 1860s, the ratio of silver to gold sold privately or abroad increased, but the government continued to offer the 16:1 ratio. In short, the government policy increased currency circulation, benefitting westerners, rural farmers, and the poor who could more easily pay off debts or make purchases. Meanwhile, Wall Street and banks in the East mobilized against the government’s policy because they would not receive as much profit on loans to farmers and the poor.

However, by 1873, the flood of silver into government coffers created an economic crisis. Congress responded by passing the Coinage Act of 1873, which effectively ended bi-metallism by eliminating the silver dollar and by making gold the only metallic standard (though the U.S. did not accept the Gold Standard de jure until 1900). Western miners and farmers termed it the “Crime of 1873.” Their “Free Silver” movement became a core constituency of the Democratic Party, represented by William Jennings Bryan.

A clear partisan divide in the elections of 1896 and 1900 centered on the bi-metallism debate. Republican candidate William McKinley blamed the Democrats and their platform of bi-metallism for the Panic of 1893, while Republicans and Eastern banking interests called the gold standard “sound money” policy.  One article of campaign propaganda is illustrative: McKinley’s campaign issued fake dollar bills that read “In God We Trust…for the Other 53 Cents” to argue that the dollar backed by silver would only be worth 47 cents. Another campaign poster linked the Republican Party’s gold coin as “sound money” policy to the beneficial aspects of the party’s protectionist policy compared to the detrimental impact of the Democratic Party’s free trade policy.

In the “Cross of Gold” speech, Bryan argued that the Democratic Party’s focus on bi-metallism in its platform was justified because a gold standard alone could not solve the country’s problems at the time, including debt, small business failure, and monopolies. According to Bryan, if silver was restored, “all other necessary reforms will be possible.” He compared the situation to fights over the national bank, arguing that “What we need is an Andrew Jackson to stand, as Jackson stood, against the encroachments of organized wealth.” In the speech, Bryan also connects the Democratic Party’s tradition since Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson against moneyed interests in favor of the little guy. Bryan favored a regulatory role for government in issuing money and called for banks to “go out of the governing business.”

The excerpt from the “Cross of Gold” speech below resounds with populist rhetoric, though the speech itself took the wind out of the Populist Party’s sails, rallying supporters to the Democratic Party. The excerpt also links the issue to the Democratic Party’s position on international trade.

Jschlatt blames Tubbo for being a traitor and demands that Technoblade kills Tubbo with his crossbow and fireworks. The first shot misses, and the second shot kills Tubbo, and accidentally also kills Schlatt and Quackity as well.The Manberg-Pogtopia war happens in efforts to take Schlatt out of powerWilbur blew up the nation with a lot of TNTWilbur tells Philza to kill him, which he does, and Wilbur`s final canon life is taken.

Answer:

i know c!purpled definitely became unpopular for what he did to c!slimecicle but i'm not gonna lie, i think he was justified in doing it, even if he was wrong.

it's been a while since c!purpled was first scouted and employed to las nevadas, so i feel the need to mention that the way he had initially been involved was through c!quackity blowing up his ufo, one of the few things on the server that indicated his presence where he otherwise felt forgotten.

c!purpled is a lonely character. there's camaraderie to be found between the other characters on the server, but never him and someone else before he was recruited by c!quackity. he shows this loneliness in the way dogchamp accompanies him wherever he goes, despite the constant danger on the server.

where some people would hide their pets, c!purpled keeps his by his side, otherwise who else would be there?

one of the main things that c!quackity said in the stream where he blew up the ufo was that "the ufo was your legacy, and i've taken it from you."

legacy is so important in this server. when you leave a mark on the smp, it's remembered, for better or for worse. for c!purpled, who was alone and resented that, his ufo being blown up, which was a reflection of him, was something that cut deep. c!quackity and his ruthlessness in destroying it and knowing what he was doing would not be easily forgotten by c!purpled, no matter how much he could claim it was water under the bridge.

the way c!quackity framed this deal between the two of them was that c!purpled had the choice to be forgotten with his ufo or remembered with las nevadas. there was no way he could walk away happy in either instance, but there was a way he could walk away remembered, which c!quackity knew was the only thing that would get him to join.

c!purpled needs to be remembered because he needs to feel less alone. being remembered means he's important which means people will be there for him.

the ufo was an extension of himself, his legacy, and c!quackity took it away without giving a it a second glance, because at this point in time, he didn't care! he didn't care for attachments, his or others, and that made it easier for c!quackity to destroy them.

by the time c!quackity began to relearn the fact that attachments were natural and he would be burdened with them no matter what and c!slimecicle was one of them, c!purpled had been letting this bitterness fester. he had been pushed aside for c!slimecicle, in his viewpoint, and c!quackity was someone who promised him greatness and belonging and hadn't delivered.

it didn't matter that c!quackity meant for them to be together, that he had acknowledged his fondness for c!slimecicle, that las nevadas mattered more to him than just material gain, because c!purpled didn't know and to him, it looked as though c!quackity destroyed his legacy only to pass las nevadas on to c!slimecicle as thought it didn't matter.

and then we get to the betrayal!

on the surface, it doesn't look like c!purpled would have any reason to go after the revival book. he has no connection to it, nothing that would make him desire it because there's no one he needs to be revived.

for c!purpled, however, the revival book isn't something he needs for the revival aspect, but rather the fact that it's something that c!quackity has that he values. he wants to hurt c!quackity the same way c!quackity hurt him, and the most obvious way he knows to do this is to take away the one thing that he had been working tirelessly for, for months on end.

the revival book is less a revival book and more of another part of c!quackity's legacy.

its why he brings up c!quackity destroying his ufo in the middle of asking about the revival book, otherwise why else would he mention it? they're connected, both extensions of the person behind them. c!purpled and his ufo, c!quackity and his revival book.

yet at this point, c!slimecicle is there and c!quackity clearly cares for him, and c!purpled notices, so what else to do but hurt c!quackity the way he was and take this extension of him away?

because in a way, c!slimecicle was an extension of c!quackity— his humanity. everything about c!quackity and this web hes created centres around humanity and legacy and people and connections. in forging a connection with c!slimecicle and a legacy in las nevadas, c!purpled was caught in the crossfire.

c!purpled, in the end, was lonely and desired company, had his legacy destroyed by c!quackity only to be pushed away again by him after promises of riches and togetherness, and lashed out the only way he knew how because he was a mercenary and never offered the same support c!quackity was.

i can't fault him for that, can i?

how did the constitution fix the problems of articles of confederation?

Answers

Answer:

The constitution created an actual federal government. A big problem that the articles of confederation had was that there was no federal government to solve problems between the states. Additionally, there was no way for the federal government to raise funds. Finally, the articles barely connected the states, and each state just wanted to maintain its own power.

The constitution solved these problems because it made a stronger federal government. The federal government now has the power to solve problems between the states and tax the citizens. This allowed the government to function correctly and protect the security of the nation.

It turned the U.S into a federal country which means the government holds ALL the power and the laws/rights in the constitution. States can still have different laws but they can’t be against the constitution

The constitution gave the power to collect taxes (to pay for hospitals, and government run jobs)

The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of riots that took place in Los Angeles, California, between June 3 and 8, 1943. They involved young Latino and Mexican American city dwellers as well as the American military stationed in Southern California.

It was one of the dozen industrial wartime cities, along with Mobile, Alabama, Beaumont, Detroit, Texas, Michigan, and New York City, that experienced racial riots in the summer of 1943.

White Angelenos and American servicemen attacked and stripped toddlers, teenagers, and young people who were wearing zoot suits, reportedly because they thought the garments, which were created from a lot of fabric during World War II, were disloyal. For the duration of the war, certain foods and materials had to be rationed.
