Answer:In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected. In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

Explanation:
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.
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.
What is the significance of Third Parties? How have they impacted the electoral fortunes of the two major political parties? Give examples.
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.

What this means is that, there was little centralization of power in the Greek empire, so it could be referred to as been a fragile empire.

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.

"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."

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.
