What are some characteristics to imperialism

olonialism is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. In other words, Colonialism is a relationship between an indigenous (or forcibly imported) majority and a minority of foreign invaders for territorial expansion. Since a colony is part of an empire and so colonialism is closely related to imperialism. The initial assumption is that colonialism and imperialism are interchangeable, however Robert Young suggests that imperialism is the concept while colonialism is the practice.

You have to study the motive behind imperialism to derive the characteristic of imperialism.

The main motives:
1. Political- motives based on a nations desire to gain power, to compete with other countries, to gain prestige from winning colonies, and to boost national pride.
2. Religious- motives included the desire to spread Christianity, to protect missionaries, to educate natives, and to end the slave trade.
3. Ideological- motive based on cultural values such as the white race was superior and other cultures were "primitive." Europeans should civilize other people, religion, government, etc.
4. Military- motives based on the expansion of strategic territory and the ability to exercise military force.
5. Economic- motives based on desire to make money and expand foreign trade. Europeans wanted to open new markets, acquire raw materials, and cheap labor to aid their industrialization and scientific research

In many cases, the main characteristic of imperialism is highest stage of capitalism.

Answer from: Quest

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.

Answer from: Quest

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial. persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
