During World War I, the Woodrow Wilson administration took unprecedented steps to mobilize public support for the war. In addition to a massive government propaganda campaign, Congress passed laws designed to silence dissent. Newspapers were censored, politicians
were jailed, and mobs attacked those suspected of disloyalty. Some Americans organized to protest the erosion of democratic freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, a group of rights that they called "civil liberties." Thus, while democratic freedoms were undermined during World War I, public concern over these policies inspired the beginnings of a twentieth-century movement to guard the right of Americans to criticize their government, even when their country is at war.
When President Woodrow Wilson called on Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917, the government faced a formidable task. Millions of young men had to be drafted, equipped, trained, and shipped an ocean away. To accomplish this in time to break the military stalemate on Europe's western front, Wilson demanded unprecedented powers to mobilize American society.
In addition to drafting men and directing the economy, Wilson took steps to control public opinion, encouraging patriotic support for the war effort. The task was made more urgent because Americans remained deeply divided about the conflict. When Germany invaded France in 1914, most Americans shared Wilson's desire to remain neutral. His reelection in 1916 was widely considered a vote for the man who "kept us out of war." When he declared war five months later, many Americans still opposed involvement. Some German immigrants remained sympathetic to their ancestral home; socialists thought the war was inspired by capitalist greed; and various religious sects opposed all war on principle. Considering national unity essential to military success, Wilson took steps to silence these critics, guarding American society from what he called "the poison of disloyalty."

How did the roles of different classes play a part in the development of the government in the Roman Republic?
If you can (I'll mark brainliest), write a paragraph like 6-8 ish sentences. If you can't, please just list some points.
Answer: Citizenship and the government varied greatly over time. The patricians class dominated the Republic. The highest positions were the two consuls. The senate, made of patricians, elected these consuls. During most of the Republic the Senate was the most powerful governing body. Senate power was diluted by Sulla and Julius Caesar leading to the end of the Republic. Full citizens could vote, marry and trade, but lower class plebeians could not. Patricians were able to use their wealth to control the Republic but gradually, plebeians gained the power to elect tribunes. Tribunes could veto Senate acts. Eventually plebeians even held the position of consul. During times of war The Senate could appoint a dictator with the power of absolute control over the military.

Built in the 1960s for greyhound races where you could get seats for as little as $.50, the track fell into decay after it shuttered in the ‘80s. The building had a short-lived second life when it was transformed into swap-meet grounds, but that didn’t last either. Today the hollowed-out structure is overgrown with weeds and cacti, and the kennels are empty, aside from the nesting birds.

I need help ASAP plz
Answer:
.09 mm
Explanation:
Answer:
The minimum is also known as the vertex
First you need to identify the coefficients of a and b
a = 1, b = 6
Step 1 : sub in a = 1 and b = 6 and solve
x = - 6 / 2 x 1
x = 03
Step 2 : evaluate the function for x = -3
f(x) = x^2 + 6x - 1; x = -3
Step 3 : calculate the function value of x = -3
f(-3) = -10
The vertex aka the minimum is:
( -3, -10 )
