"Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions—it only guarantees equality of opportunity."—Irving Kristol

What did the author mean by this statement?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This means that while we all have the opportunity to succeed, this does not mean our success will be equal. We all have the opportunity to be successful, but some people will have an easier time or a harder time based off of the conditions around them.

eg: Someone born in a ghetto and someone born in an upper-middle class house have the opportunity to be a millionaire. But, the person in the upper-middle class home will have easier access to the things to get them there.

Describe the rise of authoritarian governments (Soviet Union, Italy, Germany, Spain), and analyze the policies and main ideas of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and Francisco Franco.

Answers

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Explanation:

The regimes of Iosiv Stalin (USSR), Benito Mussolini (Italy) and Adolf Hitler (Germany) were totalitarian, not authoritarian, since those regimes pretended to subordinate everything to the power of state. Only the regime of Francisco Franco could be considered as authoritarian.

Such regimes rose due to the political instability, economic crisis and social tension that suffered several European country after World War II.

The regime of Stalin was the most extreme form of totalitarism, which consisted in the elimination of private owning over means of production and private property in every way, central planning in economics, use of violence and suppresion to control society and eliminate any opposition or group or nation, state atheism and jingoism.

On the other hand, the regime of Hitler was more moderate by allowing the existence of private property and private owning of means of production, but exist a strong State interventionism, and justification of genocide by considering certain people as inferior regarding to Germans. The regimens of Mussolini and Franco were even more moderate by allowing a limited freedom to Roman Catholicism.

Why couldn’t RFK help the Lovings? Why did they need to go through the judicial system?


Answers

Answer:

Robert Francis Kennedy was the attorney general at that time and therefore he could not directly help Mildred but he advised to contact the American Civil Liberties Union.

Explanation:

Mildred Loving was an African American woman and her husband Richard was a white, they got arrested and imprisoned for violating the anti-miscegenation law of Virginia, the 1924 Racial Integrity Act. Only a higher court could help the couple now and on advice of RFK, they approached ACLU. The  American Civil Liberties Union instantly decided to support the couple. It became a landmark Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia. The court unanimously held that state prohibitions on interracial marriage were unconstitutional-and proclaimed that the freedom to marry belonged to all citizens of America.

PLZ ANSWER 45 POINTS AND BRAINLY PLZ ANSWER SHORT AND CORRECTLY

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is a federal program that was established under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which requires that transportation fuels sold in the united states of America must have a certain minimum volume of fuels from renewable sources. The renewable fuels, as required by the federal program would be blended into the transportation fuels in a yearly increasing order, expecting to reach 36 billion gallons by 2022.

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) further amended the RFS program and set the volumes in the attached document.

 

The pathways approved by EPA for the RFS program are shown below

Diesels from biomass must achieve 50% lifecycle Green House Gas (GHG) reduction .

Biofuels produced from Cellulose must meet 60% lifecycle GHG reduction.  

Advanced biofuel must meet a 50% GHG reduction and should be produced from qualifying renewable biomass.
