Based on the reading, how would a democratic leadership
lead to a tyrant taking control?
Answer:
Plato, in his Republic, tells us that tyranny arises, as a rule, from democracy. Historically, this process has occurred in three quite different ways. Before describing these several patterns of social change, let us state precisely what we mean by “democracy.”
Pondering the question of “Who should rule,” the democrat gives his answer: “the majority of politically equal citizens, either in person or through their representatives.” In other words, equality and majority rule are the two fundamental principles of democracy. A democracy may be either liberal or illiberal.
Answer:
Explanation:
He would do it the way Hitler did it. He would gain control by completely democratic means. He would persuade the majority that he has their interest at heart and no one else's.
What Plato wrote is a blueprint for all tyrants everywhere. Comply and slowly destroy your opposition. When the opposition is diminished to ineffectiveness then take control.

4. In what ways did educational opportunities change for minorities and women in this era?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not specify in what era you are talking about and did not attach options for this question, we can help you by commenting on the following.
In what ways did educational opportunities change for minorities and women in this era?
We are going to assume the era you are referring to is after the American Civil War. This was a time when women started to demand better opportunities in general terms, including education for women. American women wanted to have a better role in society, not only as mothers in the family environment.
In that time and before the Civil War, the expansion of education including higher education opportunities for women was widely opposed in most parts of the country. This made women seek education or better education in other states or started to raise their voices to get the education they deserved.

The Soviet Union pre-WWII
Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia, a country just south of Russia. He joined the Russian Bolshevik revolutionaries who were a group of people that followed communist ideals. Stalin led riots and strikes and raised money by robbing banks and committing other crimes. Soon Stalin became close to Vladimir Lenin (Soviet Russian Communist leader). In 1917, the Russian Revolution took place when the government led by the Tsars (royal family) was overthrown and the Bolsheviks came into power. Russia was now called the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin was a major leader in government.
After Lenin's death, Stalin took over as the dictator of the Soviet Union. Stalin decided that the country should move away from agriculture and become industrialized. He had factories built through the country. The Soviet government controlled the economy and took over all farms, limiting the amount of food. Stalin would not supply food in some areas of the country to starve those that he no longer wanted to live. Stalin was responsible for the deaths of over 20 million of his own people! Stalin had secret police who spied on people. He had anyone that did not agree with him killed. Stalin put anyone who could be seen as an enemy in the gulags (prison camps) without a trial, where they faced hard labor and terrible conditions.
Stalin attempted to rewrite history books about himself, renamed cities in his name, put up numerous statues of himself, and had songs and art dedicated to him. Throughout his rule he ordered millions of people he thought were against him to be killed or put into slave labor camps. At the start of World War II, Stalin formed an alliance with Adolf Hitler and Germany. However, the Germans made a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in 1941. In order to fight off the Germans, Stalin joined the Allied countries. After World War II, Stalin set up governments in the Eastern European countries that the Soviet Union had "freed" from Germany. These governments were under control by the Soviet Union. This started the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Someone plz help me it’s history and it’s about “The Colonists Rebel” plz help me
I need the map for the first one but I will answer the second one.
Explanation:Loyalist - Means you were loyal to the King of England even though you were residing in the colonies.
Patriot - Means you wanted freedom from the King. Patriots wanted to form a new government in the Colonies.
Colonist came to the 13 colonies in 1619. Which means its been more than 150 years. At this time many people hated the king and wanted to reform.
Answer: So, I would be a Patriot. Patriots were way more respected in the colonies, since people no longer wanted to serve and obey the kings laws in a whole another continent. They thought it was unfair. While, Loyalists were sometimes mocked and disrespected for their beliefs. Which at the end of the day, Patriots won which is why we have the United States of America.

Source: The Histories a historical account of the rise of the Roman Empire, written by the
Greek-bom historian and philosopher Polybius, c. 120 BCE
The Roman constitution established three branches of government, each of them
possessing their respective share of power. Even a Roman could not say for certain whether
the constitution as a whole established an aristocracy, a democracy, or a dictatorship. It is
no wonder. Because if we focus on the power of the consuls alone, we would regard the
Republic as a dictatorship. If we focus on the Senate alone, we would view the Republic as
aristocratic. Finally, if one looks at the power that the people possessed the Republic would
seem a clear case of democracy,
