1. The movement in Democracy means democrats basicaly getting bigger and expanding their beliefs. A time when democracy expanded was then the federalists crashed and then the Democratic Republicans split and became two separate parties known as the Democrats and the Republicans.
2. Religion efffected colonial Maryland because Maryland was known as Catholic heaven where everyone was religious.

"Reform movements in the US sought to preserve Democratic Ideals."

With the refrom movements, many people had more ideas how to make the nation a better country and many politics joined in for hope of their support. Most of the reforms had a huge impact on the Democracy in the US.

The Reform movements in the US sought to preserve Democratic Ideals because the political parties wanted support from ablitionists to abolist slavery. Abolishing slavery would make democracy look beter for the north.

The reforms in the United States have helped change the country to the nation it is today, such as the abolitionist, who fought for slaves freedom, and the femonist movement, which gave females rights.
