"We of the South will not, cannot, surrender our institutions. To maintain the existing relations between the two races, inhabiting that section of the Union, is indispensable to the peace and happiness of both. …There is and always has been in an advanced stage of wealth and civilization, a conflict between labor and capital. The condition of society in the South exempts us from the disorders and dangers resulting from this conflict; and which explains why it is that the political condition of the slaveholding States has been so much more stable and quiet than that of the North."

What was America’s original form of democratic government
Here is my essay of your question,
I often hear people argue that the United States is a republic, not a democracy. But that’s a false dichotomy. A common definition of “republic” is, to quote the American Heritage Dictionary, “A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them” — we are that. A common definition of “democracy” is, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives” — we are that, too.

The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions) are made predominantly by majority vote. Some lawmaking is done this way, on the state and local levels, but it’s only a tiny fraction of all lawmaking. But we are a representative democracy, which is a form of democracy.
And indeed the American form of government has been called a “democracy” by leading American statesmen and legal commentators from the Framing on. It’s true that some Framing-era commentators made arguments that distinguished “democracy” and “republic”; see, for instance, The Federalist (No. 10), though even that first draws the distinction between “pure democracy” and a “republic,” only later just saying “democracy.” But even in that era, “representative democracy” was understood as a form of democracy, alongside “pure democracy”: John Adams used the term “representative democracy” in 1794; so did Noah Webster in 1785; so did St. George Tucker in his 1803 edition of Blackstone; so did Thomas Jefferson in 1815. Tucker’s Blackstone likewise uses “democracy” to describe a representative democracy, even when the qualifier “representative” is omitted.
Likewise, James Wilson, one of the main drafters of the Constitution and one of the first Supreme Court Justices, defended the Constitution in 1787 by speaking of the three forms of government being the “monarchical, aristocratical, and democratical,” and said that in a democracy the sovereign power is “inherent in the people, and is either exercised by themselves or by their representatives.” And Chief Justice John Marshall — who helped lead the fight in the 1788 Virginia Convention for ratifying the U.S. Constitution — likewise defended the Constitution in that convention by describing it as implementing “democracy” (as opposed to “despotism”), and without the need to even add the qualifier “representative.”
To be sure, in addition to being a representative democracy, the United States is also a constitutional democracy, in which courts restrain in some measure the democratic will. And the United States is therefore also a constitutional republic. Indeed, the United States might be labeled a constitutional federal representative democracy. But where one word is used, with all the oversimplification that this necessary entails, “democracy” and “republic” both work. Indeed, since direct democracy — again, a government in which all or most laws are made by direct popular vote — would be impractical given the number and complexity of laws that pretty much any state or national government is expected to enact, it’s unsurprising that the qualifier “representative” would often be omitted. Practically speaking, representative democracy is the only democracy that’s around at any state or national level.
Now one can certainly argue that some aspects of U.S. government should become less direct, and filtered through more layers of representation. One can argue, for instance, that the 17th Amendment should be repealed, and that U.S. senators should no longer be elected directly by the people, but should return to being elected by state legislators who are elected by the people. Or one can argue for repealing state- and local-level initiative and referendum schemes. Or one can argue for making the Electoral College into a deliberative body, in which the electors are supposed to discuss the candidates and make various political deals, rather than being elected solely to vote for particular candidates. And of course one can equally argue for making some aspects of U.S. government more direct, for instance by shifting to truly direct election of the president, or by institute a federal-level initiative and referendum.
But there is no basis for saying that the United States is somehow “not a democracy, but a republic.” “Democracy” and “republic” aren’t just words that a speaker can arbitrarily define to mean something (e.g., defining democracy as “a form of government in which all laws are made directly by the people”). They are terms that have been given meaning by English speakers more broadly. And both today and in the Framing era, “democracy” has been generally understood to include representative democracy as well as direct democracy.

"There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the meer pleasure of God. By the mere Pleasure of God, I mean his sovereign Pleasure, his arbitrary Will, restrained by no Obligation, hinder'd by no manner of Difficulty, any more than if nothing else but God's meer Will had in the least Degree, or in any Respect whatsoever, any Hand in the Preservation of wicked Menone Moment." - from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards, 1741 The purpose of Jonathan Edward's sermon as illustrated in this excerpt was to A) unify culturally diverse immigrants promote religious acceptance. B) promote the Christian religion by promoting peace, forgiveness, and unquestioned acceptance. C) provide support for the new cultures coming to the new world and the cultural blending that is taking place. D) warn or remind his congregation that the nation as a whole must repent their sins and ask forgiveness from God to escape hell.
Answer:
D) Warn or remind his congregation that the nation as a whole must repent their sins and ask forgiveness from God to escape hell.
Explanation:
Christian Theologian Jonathan Edwards’ sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" presents an appeal to the people of Massachusetts to deviate from their sinful nature and come back to the right and "Christian" way of life. This sermon successfully and profoundly affected the listeners, the congregation with Edwards's 'frightful' presentation of an angry God.
In the given excerpt from the sermon, Edwards presents an image of a God who is fearful of those who choose to deviate from His right ways. In this sermon, Edwards serves a reminder to the people to repent their sinful ways and return to God, or else their fate is to be destroyed and perish eternally in Hell. He warns them to seek forgiveness while there is still time so that they will not be judged by God's wrath.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What do the people of Kosovo, the Scots, and the Basques all have in common?
Answer:
They have in common the fact that they are minority groups within internationally recognized countries, and that they have active separatist movements.
Explanation:
In the case of Kosovo, they are Albanians living in Serbia, and they declared independence in 2008, however, this declaration was not accepted by Serbia, and many other countries do not recognize Kosovo as a legally independent country.
The Scots held an independence referendum in 2014, but the option to remain part of the United Kingdom narrowly won.
Finally, the Basques have two main political parties: the Basque National Party, which does not seek independence, and Bildu, which seeks independence. Both parties have similar electoral power.

that rule?
Too much regulations (often devised with good intentions) leads to unitneded consquences and tend to help bigger businesses with money and connections in washington while hurting smaller businesses since they dont have the capital for lawyers and lobbyists and have to spend the smaller pool of money they have to comply with regulations.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
It seems that you are missing the question. You only attached a statement. If it is a true or false question, then the correct answer is "true."
It is true that too many regulations (often devised with good intentions) leads to unintended consequences and tend to help bigger businesses with money and connections in Washington while hurting smaller businesses.
What happens is that large firms or corporations are wealthy enough to pay for lobbyists that can negotiate favorable agreements with US Congressmen. Other businessmen belong to interest groups that have their own agendas and are always trying to influences legislators to approve the kind of laws that favor their companies.

In this activity, you will discuss the hypothetical scenarios below, and evaluate the president's decision in each of the cases below. You should draw upon your knowledge of the formal powers of the president outlined in Article II of the Constitution as well as the informal powers and roles enjoyed by modern presidents. Answer in complete sentences.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not include the hypothetical scenarios, so we do not have that reference. However, doing some research we can say that one hypothetical scenario would be the following.
The President issues an order that women in the armed forces may now serve in direct combat capacity during wartime.
If this is the case, then we can comment on the following.
According to the formal powers of the president outlined in Article II of the Constitution, the President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Airforce, and Coast Guard. So the President has the power to issue orders in this regard.
This act is constitutional because it is included in the above-mentioned section of the COnstitution of the United States. As the Commander-in-Chief he is, he can order whatever he considers is necessary for the security of the nation and for the most benefit of the troops.

Please help!!!!! | How did the mining industry change the Indian Territory? Explain its positive and negative effects on the territory’s future.
Answer:
The mining industry brought many new opportunities to the Indian Territory. It helped the territory develop quickly, encouraged companies to build more railroads, helped fund the construction of new towns, and supported other growing industries. It also provided money for tribes, who took royalties, sold permits, and leased land to miners. However, the industry also took power and control away from the tribes that lived in the territory. Although the tribes found ways to profit from mining, new immigrants poured into the territory and started new towns and settlements. The industry was often dangerous, and unions fought to protect workers’ rights and needs.

Answer:
American politics operate on a two-party system, meaning that two major political parties dominate voting in most elections and consequently dominate elected offices. In modern United States elections, the two major parties are the Democratic and Republican parties. These parties are associated with liberal and conservative views respectively, and nearly all elected officials are affiliated with one of the two. Campaign endorsements, funding, and resources are allocated to candidates on the basis of nomination by one of these two parties.
