Not sure how to cite any sources as I don't see them but here's a little summary on it (you can pick out info if you'd like).
The Bill of Rights, also known as the first ten amendments in the Constitution, was ratified by Congress in 1791. It was designed to protect the basic rights of U.S. citizens by allowing them to have rights such as freedom of speech, press, religion, and bearing arms. Jefferson pushed for the ratification of a Bill of Rights because he wanted to make sure the rights of the people were protected and not violated. The Bill of Rights, which promoted giving power to the states, balanced out the Constitution, which favored a strong federal government.

Pull factors include: [ Will Mark Brainliest if answered correctly].
Answer:
Explanation:
The US was a "destination of choice" for so many immigrants because it was the land of new beginnings; a fresh start. Immigrants came from all over Europe and most settled on the east coast (think New York and such). But, some immigrants from Japan and China mostly settled on the west coast (Oregon, Washington, and California). When talking about "push" and "pull", these words refer to the reasons why people wanted to go to America and the reasons why they wanted to leave their country of origin. Four pull factors include stable government (democracy, no dictator), plentiful food supply (no famine), religious freedom (no forced religion), and a very stable, prosperous economy (many jobs available in the U.S., especially factories.

Answer:
1. When the American Revolution began, it looked like the colonies faced insurmountable odds. How did a ragtag band of volunteers without a proper source of funding for food and equipment manage to overcome the most powerful army and navy in the world?
How did each of the following contribute to the success of the American Revolution?
George Washington’s leadership abilities
Geography
Foreign assistance
Colonists’ spirit and attitude
George Washington helped us in many ways in the revolutionary war. Despite his losses he knew how to run the military. He was a really tough and brave man. Those two characteristics helped us in the military because you have to be brave and take risks t get rewards. Lastly toughness helped us out a lot. When our solders are sick or don't feel good they don't get to call in sick. They have to tough it out and if we were not tough enough then our soldiers would have gave up.
Geography helped Americans out a lot. One of the ways it helped us is by helping us know the terrain. Going to a unknown terrain and even unknown climate can be a easy way of death. Another way is by knowing a way to supply troops and how it was possible. We need geography for this because if we didn't use geography we wouldn't know where we were traveling. We also would not know how to supply our troops.
If we did not have foreign assistance then we would not have won the war. The french were pretty much the way we got our supplies. Also we would have been enormously out numbered in troops with out there assistance. Even though some assistance such as Spain's assistance was not much help to us at all.
Positive attitudes are needed in any war but it really helped us out in the revolutionary war. They believed that they were going to win and get their land. Then the french came along and grew our spirits. This also helped us because when the french came it it greatly lowered the British peoples spirit. What they thought was going to be easy instantly turned to a hard battle.

what are the five similarities between an autocracy and a democracy in details
Answer:
In an autocracy the ruler doesn’t need the consent of the people to rule the country, whereas a President or a Head of state in a representative democracy would need to be elected;
An autocratic ruler can take whatever decisions they want; an elected president in a democracy can’t, they must abide by the Constitution;
Most democracies put a limit to the duration of a term for an elected official (e.g. 5 years for the president in France, 4 for this of the US, etc.), whilst in autocracies leaders can generally stay leaders for life;
Under a democracy, people are granted constitutional rights, which is not necessarily the case in an autocracy;
In an autocracy, there’s only one leader. That’s most often not the case in a democracy, which will generally have a Parliament.

Your commander, Lieutenant Major Reginald Brighton, wants a full report on what is happening in the United States. Specifically, he needs information on the Articles of Confederation, and he wants to know why a stronger government is necessary for the country to survive. In your confidential letter of at least two paragraphs, be sure to include the following elements:
A formal tone used for writing, as you are addressing your commander
A heading or title including a date and greeting to the commander (for example, “Confidential Letter, December 1786.”)
First paragraph:
An explanation of the powers that Congress has under the Articles of Confederation
A list of the strengths of the new government under the Articles of Confederation
A list of the weaknesses of the new government under the Articles of Confederation
Examples of how people have reacted to the new government
Second paragraph:
An explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary
Answer:
Dear Commander Lieutenant Major Reginald Brighton:
As you know the confederation has its constitution and this constitution has many articles. The present missive is to inform you what is happening in the United States with respect of this constitution.
The main article of this constitution states that the president is elected by popular vote and gives the congress many attributions. The congress has to approve the nation's budget and they just have spend the money that the country has. I think the best thing of this people is that they have power balance and leaders that make many good things for their nation.
The strengths of this nation are many. For example it has a good Army because the congress has bought many good weapons and also it has passed good bills in favor of the people, for example: this country has good hospitals and medicine for everybody. The weaknesses of this new government are many but I think the worst thing can be that there is not so much Freedom of Speech. The ones that talk about the congress are immediately put under investigation.
People have reacted in different ways to the government, but I think people are started to get tired of the situation of not having the liberty of saying what they really want.
I will inform you more about this nation in my following missives.
Expressing my feelings of the highest esteem, I respectfully say good bye,
Attentively,
Sir William Shakespeare

Answer:
Tag-Teaming
Explanation:
'Tag-Teaming' a hold requires at least two senators that want to hold the legislation indefinitely. The first senator (anonymously) places a hold on the legislation, and then, before their name is entered into the record, releases the hold. As a result, Senators can effectively wage (or threaten to wage) a filibuster – in effect, insist on extended debate in order to delay or prevent a final vote on most amendments, bills, or other motions.

The Electoral College has been a topic for debate. Some people believe that the Electoral College is no longer needed to decide on the president. There are many people who believe that the popular vote should determine the next president of the United States. For this assignment, you are going to research the Electoral College. You will use your research to answer each question below in paragraphs of your own words.
Directions
Address the debate on the Electoral College by using your research to answer the following questions. Your response to each question should be in a paragraph of your own words.
What reasons did the members of the Constitutional Convention have for creating the Electoral College? Use examples from your research to support your answer.
How have voters in America changed since the Constitution was created?
Should the Electoral College continue to be used? Why or why not? Use examples from your research to support your answer.
Answer:
This is gonna take awhile
Explanation:
1. Members of the constitutional convention created the electoral college so small states would have just as much of a voice as bigger states.
2. Yes. Since the constitution was written, Black men have been given the right to vote, women have been given the right to vote, and the voting age was changed from 21 to 18 (congress did that because if you are old enough to get drafted you are old enough to vote). Originally it used to be white men over the age of 21 and only them, so these were pretty big changes when these groups of people were given the right to vote.
2. Personally, I think we should get rid of the electoral college. Recently there has been much debate about it, this is because a president can win the presidency WITHOUT winning the majority of of the popular vote. If he or she wins 270 electoral votes they win the presidency and do not have to win the popular vote. But this question is more of your personal opinion, so your answer might be different from mine.
