Why might the recession of 2008 not have brought about the degree of extremism triggered by the depression of the 1930s?

The most likely reason is that by the time of the 2008 recession, people, word leaders, and world organizations alike, were aware of the dramatic consequences that the extremism of the 1930s had not only on the economic, but also on the social and geopolitical landscape. For this reason, most people tried to act differently, in order to avoid the same dire situations of the past (mainly World War II).

Another reason is that the Great Recession of 2008 was not as dire as the Great Depression. In both the economy did plunge a lot, but in the Great Depression the fall of economic activity was much more pronounced, and lasted for a lot longer.

to protect the united states' role as a world leader, president truman wanted to prevent the soviet union from spreading communism beyond its post-world war ii boundaries. he declared that the united states must assist any nations struggling to prevent a communist takeover.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
