''The British Empire was a force for good in India.” How far do you agree with this statement?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

uh, nowhere. They were HORRIBLE

Why not, you may ask?

- The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

- By 1890 about 6,000 British officials ruled 250 million Indians

- Racism was also reflected in the penal code. There had never been a taboo against homosexuality in Indian culture and practice until the British Victorians introduced one.

- Britain also helped solidify and perpetuate the iniquities of the caste system, which was a horrible division of people.

- Religion became a useful means of divide and rule, with the fostering of a two-nation theory that eventually divided the country and made partition inevitable; one million were killed and 17 million displaced.

- Winston Churchill, widely heralded as one of the greatest brits was viciously racist and perpetuated hardline racism in British colonies around the world, once saying: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion . . . Let the Viceroy sit on the back of a giant elephant and trample Gandhi into the dirt.”

- Up to 35 million died unnecessarily in famines; London ate India’s bread while India starved, and in 1943 nearly four million Bengalis died. It was their own fault, according to Churchill, for “breeding like rabbits”.

and that's barely skimming the surface. The sheer number of atrocities Britain has committed in India established its legacy as being one of genocide, tyranny, cultural theft and erasure. The few positive things its presence accomplished are far outweighed by the sick acts it carried out on the Indian people.

you think might happen if one branch of government was granted too much power over
others? Explain your response.
ma

Answers

Answer:

Answer below.

Explanation:

Executive, Judicial, and Legislative these are the three branches of the government.

Executive branch is the presidents office. They have the power to Carry out and enforce laws. This branch consists of President, Vice President and the Cabinet.

Judicial branch is called the court system, The courts review laws. The courts explain laws. The courts decide if a law goes against the Constitution.

Legislative branch drafts proposed laws, confirms or rejects presidential nominations for heads of federal agencies, federal judges, and the Supreme Court, and has the authority to declare war.

The legislative branch makes laws, but the President in the executive branch can veto those laws with a Presidential Veto.

The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional.

The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These Federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.

The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes.

The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.

The executive branch can declare Executive Orders, which are like proclamations that carry the force of law, but the judicial branch can declare those acts unconstitutional.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges who make the evaluations.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the Senate in the legislative branch confirms the President’s nominations for judicial positions, and Congress can impeach any of those judges and remove them from office.

It is important to keep these checks and balances because they are able to keep each other in line and working for the law not their pocketbooks.

If one branch was given too much power the entire system would not work and could possibly fall apart. It is set up this way for a reason and that reason is because it works and functions for the benefit of the people.

From 1855 to 1890, western settlement increasingly brought Americans and American Indians into conflict with one another, especially on the plains. Analyze the causes and effects of these conflicts.

Answers

Answer:

The main cause of the Indian Wars of this period was the notion of Manifest Destiny. For decades, Americans from the east were pushing west in an effort to gain control of more land and resources. Many felt that it was their God-given right to control the continent from sea to sea. This was accelerated by the expansion of the railroad during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Sometimes valuable resources such as gold and other precious metals were discovered on native land. This encouraged more settlers and led to inevitable conflict. Land was also desired for the purposes of ranching and farming.

Explanation:

This meant that the the relations between Americans, and natives would be in a enemy context.

Answer:

During the late 1800s, Americans and the natives typically experienced tensions with regard to territory, resources, and competition among the groups. With that being said, the main cause of the Indian Wars of this period was the notion of Manifest Destiny. For decades, Americans from the east were pushing west in an effort to gain control of more land and resources. Many felt that it was their God-given right to control the continent from sea to sea. This was accelerated by the expansion of the railroad during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Sometimes valuable resources such as gold and other precious metals were discovered on native land. This encouraged more settlers and led to inevitable conflict. Land was also desired for the purposes of ranching and farming. As a result of this destructive mindset, much of Native American land was taken away not only by settlers, but by the United States federal government. Americans increasingly began to see the West as land of the United States' and, consequently, treated it as such. Eventually, natives were forced to neglect their traditional nomadic lifestyle and seldom assimilate into American culture and society.
