    Why is it important for citizens to pay taxes? - ProProfs

    Why is it important for citizens to pay taxes?

    • To provide money to pay government services.

    • To provide money to pay civil servants.

    • To provide money to finance road constructions.

    • To provide money for better infrastructures.

    Correct Answer
    A. To provide money to pay government services.
    Explanation
    It is important for citizens to pay taxes because taxes are the main source of revenue for the government. This revenue is used to fund various government services such as healthcare, education, defense, and public infrastructure. Without taxes, the government would not have the necessary funds to provide these essential services to the citizens. Therefore, paying taxes ensures that the government can continue to function and provide necessary services for the welfare and development of the society.

    • Without registering you cannot express you political views through voting.

    • It ensures that the right candidate is finally elected.

    Registering to vote fulfills a responsibility of citizenship because without registering, individuals are unable to participate in the democratic process and express their political views through voting. By registering, individuals are given the opportunity to have a say in the election of leaders and the decisions that affect their lives. It ensures that every citizen has the chance to contribute to the selection of the right candidate and have their voice heard.

    Correct Answer
    A. By imposing presidential term limits, it prevents one president from gaining too much power.
    Explanation
    The twenty-second Amendment protects individual rights by imposing presidential term limits, preventing one president from gaining too much power. This ensures that no single individual can hold the position of president for an extended period, reducing the risk of authoritarianism or abuse of power. By limiting the time a president can serve, it allows for a more democratic system where power is distributed among different leaders over time. This safeguard helps to maintain the balance of power and protect the rights of individuals from potential abuses by a single president.

    What is the most likely reason it was difficult to pass laws under the articles of confederation? - ProProfs

    What is the most likely reason it was difficult to pass laws under the articles of confederation?

    • The very small population in all 13 states.

    • Passage required the votes of 9 of the 13 states.

    • Not enough people to vote.

    • Illiteracy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Passage required the votes of 9 of the 13 states.
    Explanation
    Under the Articles of Confederation, passing laws was difficult because it required the votes of 9 out of the 13 states. This means that a majority of states had to agree on a law in order for it to be passed. This requirement made it challenging to reach a consensus and get the necessary support for legislation. The small population in all 13 states or illiteracy may have been contributing factors, but the primary reason for the difficulty in passing laws was the high threshold of 9 state votes.
