Answer 1

After the American Revolution, the rise of American democracy became the most popular public ritual, marked by greater political participation, and the shift from elite rule to popular elections based on majority rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Immediately after the end of the American Revolution, and well into the early 19th century, the rise of American democracy was the most popular public ritual in the United States. This period witnessed a significant shift from the founders' vision of a republic led by the elite, to a system drawing upon the will of the people through popular elections. Influenced by the market revolution and post-War of 1812 transformations, American men became more politically active with the expansion of voting rights beyond property owners, thereby increasing voter participation. This transformation induced greater democratic practices and ideals, emphasizing majority rule and the idea that every white man could contribute to the political decision-making process.

The transformative period after the American Revolution also included the embracement of radical reforms on the state level. This included lowering property qualifications for voting, the gradual abolition of slavery in certain states. Most importantly, the most notable public ritual was the frequent gatherings and heightened political participation of citizens expressing their newfound republican values and testing the limits of democracy within their newfound country.
