Question

medal

Answer 1

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but was out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

How is the example of a public protest similar to the family dinner vote?

Both require government laws to maintain order and safety.
Both show conflict between the rights of individuals and groups.
Both explain why the rights of groups always win over individual wants.
Both demonstrate the downside of depending on voting to make decisions.

The USS Alabama, built in 1942, is a monster weighing in at 35,000 tons. The ship was built during the Second World War and spent 40 months actively assisting the war effort in the Pacific Ocean. During that time, she was in 26 battles. In 1964, the ship moved to her present home in Mobile, Alabama.
