Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt

(…) For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are:
Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
Jobs for those who can work.
Security for those who need it.
The ending of special privilege for the few
The preservation of civil liberties for all.
The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.

These are the simple, basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations.
Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement. As examples:
We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.
We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.
We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may
obtain it.

I have called for personal sacrifice. I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call.

A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.

If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of
armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to
commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.

Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick—lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

In his speech Roosevelt states, "In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today."

Which of the following best describes what "this great defense program" refers to?

Improving arguments against war
Improving arguments in favor of free speech
Improving military defense by investing in training, arms, and equipment
Improving pensions, unemployment insurance, medical care, and employment opportunities

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Improving pensions, unemployment insurance, medical care, and employment opportunities

Explanation:

He says, "No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation." which indicates it has nothing to do with war, the military, or free speech.

Before this he also says, "Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement. As examples:

We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.

We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.

We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may

obtain it." then goes on to talk about sacrifice.

what did not contribute to the fall of the Mughal Empire?

Answers

Answer: A. slave Trade

Explanation:

Even though the slave trade continued under the Mughal empire, it was not very widespread and was limited so could not have contributed to the fall of the empire.

The empire however, was known to engage in extravagant spending such as when emperor Shah Jahan built the very expensive and renowned Taj Mahal simply to house his wife's dead body.

To pay for this spending, the empire imposed unpopular taxes that led to widespread discontent and rebellion. Added to this was the occasional forced conversions of people of other religions to Islam which was drew contempt from the population and hastened the decline of the empire.

Explanation:

When California was under the Spanish, they gave away a lot of land to former soldiers in order to get them to stay there. When Mexico became independent, they continued this policy and this gave way to the rise of Rancheros.

Rancheros raised large herds of cattle and sheep on the land given to them by the Spanish and then the Mexicans. These lands were called ranchos and were usually close to water and grazing sources to enable ease of feeding the large herds of cattle and sheep.

3.President Lincoln reduced the amount of people from New York drafted.

4.African-Americans fled the city permanently.

Answers

Answer:

#2 is the correct answer!

Explanation:

The North WON the civil war, and they never surrendered. It was the South that surrendered!

In this, the North surrendered because it didn't have a large enough army was not an outcome of the New York City draft riots of 1863. The correct option is (2).

What do you mean by the New York City draft riots of 1863?

The New York Draft Riots were five days of some of the bloodiest and most damaging rioting in American history that took place in July 1863 as a result of the ire of working-class New Yorkers over a new federal draught law during the Civil War.

The primary recruiting center in New York was destroyed by a crowd when army recruitment started in July 1863.

Then, over the course of three days, large groups of white workmen marched across the city, tearing down homes, factories, buildings, and streetcar lines.

The anti-Black, anti-rich, and anti-Republican aspects of the conscription riots were multifaceted.

Therefore, in this the North surrendered because it didn't have a large enough army was not an outcome of the New York City draft riots of 1863.
