Explanation:

The United States is the largest economic and military power in the world, being the most important player in global geopolitics. The US led the consolidation of capitalism and democracy in most countries. In addition, the US takes the lead in protecting human rights. The 1787 American Constitution was the starting point since it already sets out essential guarantees for American citizens. After the Second World War, the United States played a leading role in the formation of the UN and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The United States therefore works to encourage and ensure, as far as possible, that human rights are respected around the world. This contributes to maintaining its status as a world leader.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
