...DBQ: “ Jacksonians Democrats viewed themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. In light of the following documents and your knowledge of the 1820’s and 1830’s, to what extent do you agree with the Jacksonians’ view of themselves? According to the Jacksonians, they were guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity; this I agree with, for the most part. There are things in which evidence does not support the Jacksonians’ protection of the U.S Constitution and individual liberty. However, there are multiple examples of the Jacksonians guarding political democracy and equality of economic opportunity. Many documents from the time period of the 1820’s to the 1830’s provide obvious proof of the Jacksonians’ preservation of political democracy and equality of economic opportunity. The Jacksonians plainly guarded the political democracy through the people’s part as a whole in government, (doc E) especially in elections. Some refer to “democracy” as “mob rule” and with good reason as (doc E) Philip Hone’s Diary of Philip Hone described many riots during the election times. These riots seem negative as persecution of blacks also took place during the election and law riots, but nevertheless theses riots are evidence of political democracy. The Jacksonians’ claims to conserving political democracy are also proven...

...1993 DBQ Essay In the 1600s there was still much to uncover in the New World. People from all over set out to discover what they could, and settle in this unknown territory. The English colonists came to the New World and settled in the New England and Chesapeake regions. The New England colonies developed differently than the Chesapeake colonies due to their differing motivations for settlement, social systems, and economic emphasis. In the early 17th Century the Puritans settled in New England, forming the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Massachusetts settlers were first and foremost interested in religion. They had come to America to separate themselves from the English Anglican Church and to be able to practice their beliefs freely. As shown by Document B, the first member listed - and therefore the most prominent figure - on one of the ships bound for New England was a minister, underlying the importance the Puritans placed on religion. Accordingly, Document A shows how John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, desired to achieve the ideal Puritan city, a “city upon a hill,” that provided other Puritan towns a perfect example of what to be like. The settlers wanted to create a permanent religious settlement with a strong sense of a Puritan community in which everyone helped out and was kind to one another. Their shared interest in religion enabled them to get along well with each other and keep their colony organized, with documents such as the Articles of...

...Political Empowerment of Women: Comparative Study of South Asian Countries Amna Mahmood A South Asia is a home of variety of cultures, languages and religions. Here we can find a number of variations in customs, value systems and ways of life. But one thing is common among all the cultures and regions of South Asia that is gender discrimination. Women traditionally are considered subordinated to the male and this remained a prominent feature both in the rural and the urban areas. In urban areas a little improvement is due to enhanced level of education and economic independence in women. There is very less distinction of educated and uneducated as that of religion in this regard. The situation is improved with regard to political empowerment especially with the allocation of 33% seats in local government in South Asia but in most of the cases this change is not satisfactory. The real empowerment would be achieved only if it would be accompanied by the social and economic empowerment. For that purpose, society has to be changed at large. Such change cannot be materialized only through any coercive legislation or strong state action in the blink of an eye. But the fact remains there that in societies where all the changes start from top to bottom these measures along with a strong political will can stimulate a change to improve the situation gradually. This paper discusses the measures taken by different governments in South Asia to achieve the goal of political empowerment and...
