Does the system promote political equality and inclusion of political minorities?
The system is rigged in favor of those with the most money especially since money is now speech. Money is not equally divided as far as I can see.
What sort of political equality exists in the United States?
I'm not familiar with the term "political equality" - I don't believe that any culture, society or country has ever had "equality" among divergent political convictions.
Where do we fail to provide political equality?
According to a pew research, they identify eight distinct political ideologies in the United states and we only have two parties. http://inthecapital.streetwise.co/2014/0... To achieve political equality, each group needs its own representation. We are still a young nation, and still have a few things to work out before we catch up to the rest.
Where do you stand on the political spectrum?
Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism[1], laissez-faire liberalism[2], and market liberalism[3] or, outside the United States and Britain, sometimes simply liberalism[citation needed]) is a doctrine stressing individual freedom, free markets, and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, individual freedom from restraint, equality under the law, constitutional limitation of government, free markets, and a gold standard to place fiscal constraints on government[4] as exemplified in the writings of John Locke, Adam Smith, David Hume, David Ricardo, Voltaire, Montesquieu and others. As such, it is the fusion of economic liberalism with political liberalism of the late 18th and 19th centuries.[2] The "normative core" of classical liberalism is the idea that laissez-faire economics will bring about a spontaneous order or invisible hand that benefits the society,[5] though it does not necessarily oppose the state's provision of some basic public goods with what constitutes public goods being seen as very limited.[6] The qualification classical was applied retroactively to distinguish it from more recent, 20th-century conceptions of liberalism and its related movements, such as social liberalism.[7] Classical liberals are suspicious of all but the most minimal government[8] and object to the welfare state[9]. __________________________________ Although Now after 8 dismal Long Years of Republican Neo con Rule It has become necessary and compassionate to implement Socialism as a cure right now .
When democracy is viewed primarily as a practice of political equality, it ensures above all else that?
Look I WOULD help you with your homework but really it would do you no benefit and just make me irritated at you. Perhaps you could spend 5 minutes doing some research and answer it yourself instead of having me ticked off at you. Go on - give it a go :)
Where do you see principles of popular sovereignty, political liberty, and political equality in the...?
In the words of James Madison (the "Father of the Constitution", author and champion of Bill of Rights, and 4th President) government is for "protecting the minority of the opulent from the majority". The preamble does not at all mention any of those principles in any way. I mean even in the best possible light it has those principles for landowning white males considering only they could be elected to office or vote. The closest mention of these principles would actually be the Declaration of Independence in the part of that talks about "unalienable Rights" and people have the right and the duty to throw off government that becomes destructive to their rights and/or after a "long train of abuses & usurpations". Even though they didn't intend that to mean everyone either it still in fact applies because both principles essentially equate to any person/people who do not have equal rights or face abuses/injustice are in fact the ones who allow it. No one can take away someones rights they can only be given away (meaning you can always not accept it, this just usually results in violence and/or death and people choose to be oppressed instead of dead... but that is still a choice that was made).
How should the US government promote equality in society?
There are different kinds of equality that governments can advocate for: Equality of condition, which is what Communism theoretically promises, and then equality of opportunity, which means that every person is provided with the conditions in which they can pursue their own skills to their highest level of achievement without artificial barriers. This is the kind of opportunity that America’s government, in principle, works for. So, in our ideal nation, every person, despite race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, nationality etc, would have equal access to the ladders of success in their chosen area of expertise. The government’s role should be to see to it that there are no institutional barriers that would keep them from rising to their own level of success. Racism, gender discrimination, ethnic discrimination etc are all barriers that a dominant group can impose to deprive minority groups of equal opportunity. That is why America, in principle, establishes majority with protections for minorities. So the government, when operating according to principle should play the role of umpire, seeing to it that the game is played by the rules. When majorities try and dominate politics, economics, professions, by denying opportunities to any group or groups of people it should be the job of the government to level the playing field. Every person in America, in principle should be able to achieve whatever level in life they are willing to work hard for. No one should be denied the full expression of their own lives due to artificial barriers imposed at any level.
Where does The Political Compass test place you?
Despite the huge amount of political compass questions on Quora, I really enjoy doing them to see how my political ideals shift, if they do indeed shift. I think what we really need is a Quora-wide database where all users are plotted on a singular political compass. Now that’d be interesting!I’ve filled in a number of these questionnaires to see where my average lies on the spectrum. What we can gather from my tests is that I’m usually in the authoritarian-left quadrant, that would put me near Lenin and Trotsky. I’m usually a mid-way on conservative issues.Political Compass TestFairly standard, middle-of-the-road, slightly in the red. I find the political compass is a little more skewed to the libertarian side since you have to be really conservative to be in any of the top quadrants.Political Compass ProjectMuch farther into the red. Solidly Leninist, middle-ground on social issues.SpekrSpekr labelled me as a socialist. Similar results to before.Political Spectrum QuizWe’re starting to see an observable trend here. Below, the cultural scale aligns with the previous results. Perhaps slightly to the right on cultural conservatism. On foreign policy it has flagged me as ‘neo-conservative’, a marked change from a year ago when I was strictly non-interventionist. Neo-Conservative foreign policy being, promoting the national interest in foreign affairs and trade - which would fit in with my more recent shift from internationalist socialism to ‘national interest socialism’; an adaptation of Stalinist ‘socialism in one country’.8valuesFlagged me as a Marxist which is kind of what I am. I like to describe myself more as a communist with moody characteristics…I trust User-13010607010541810263 and Masiello will be up next to discuss theirs. ;-)
