What book helped convince the colonists and the Congress that the United States should be independent from England?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Common Sense[1] is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776[2] at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

39.94041°N 75.14645°WMarker TextAt his print shop here, Robert Bell published the first edition of Thomas Paine's revolutionary pamphlet in January 1776. Arguing for a republican form of government under a written constitution, it played a key role in rallying American support for independence.

It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history.[3] As of 2006, it remains the all-time best-selling American title and is still in print today.[4]

Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. Paine connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity and structured Common Sense as if it were a sermon.[5][6] Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."[7]

The text was translated into French by Antoine Gilbert Griffet de Labaume in 1790.

True or False: President Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, which he viewed as unconstitutional.

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

President Johnson had repeatedly clashed with Congress on the way forward with regards to the treatment of the newly freed African Americans and one such result was the passage of the Tenure of Office Act.

Under this Act, the President could not terminate the employment of a cabinet member unless approved by Congress. Johnson had been clashing with his Secretary of War,  Edwin M. Stanton, who was liked by the Republicans who controlled Congress.

When the Johnson suspended Stanton without telling Congress they had him impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act.

Question 9 of 25
Who owns the factories under the system of capitalism?
A. Workers
B. Private companies
C. Consumers
D. The government
COM

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

That's an awful lot of points. You can get our attention with 10 or 15.

A: not true. That sounds like communism.

C: not true either. I know of no government that bases ownership on those who buy the products. If it happens, it is a very small percentage where the employees themselves buy the products they make and sell.

D: The government can own businesses. In Canada, our governments used to own oil companies and air lines and part ownership in other businesses (which makes us sound socialistic which we are).

The answer is B. Private companies own the factories that produce their products. Think companies like Ford and General Motors and Exxon to name just a very few. Most of the Dow 30 fall into this category. There are exceptions. Some of the Dow 30 are things like computer software. So they don't have factories as such.

How did migrant labour system affect the family lives in the community? ​

Answers

Answer:

The system of migrant work resulted in the fatherlessness of fathers who worked in low pay jobs in the city and are returned to their homes only once a year.

Explanation:

Apartheid architects made taverns easy for migrant workers to access. This resulted in those men spending all their money on the taverns as a way of discouraging them from sending money home due to the frustrating, terrible conditions under which they worked.

Economic climate requires both men and women to work to supplement revenue, with a large number of black women leaving their homes to find a better future in the city.

These young women raise their children alone in towns, contrary to the African saying: a village needs to raise children.

The system of migrant work resulted in the fatherlessness of fathers who worked in low pay jobs in the city and are returned to their homes only once a year.

ôi đã được hỏi trong các ý kiến \u200b\u200bmột câu hỏi rất thú vị về việc đảng Cộng hòa khác với đảng Dân chủ như thế nào. Đương nhiên, các nhà bình luận ngay lập tức được tìm thấy, người tuyên bố rằng tất cả là một và giống nhau, trong khi những người khác mâu thuẫn với họ. Thực tế là cả hai đều đúng, bởi vì nếu bạn nhìn vào Đảng Dân chủ và Cộng hòa theo quan điểm của một người nước ngoài, nếu bạn sống ở một quốc gia khác, không phải ở Hoa Kỳ, thì, đối với bạn, họ không khác, bởi vì bên ngoài họ có chính sách gần như giống nhau.

Những gì chúng ta đã thấy dưới thời Clinton, Bush, những gì chúng ta thấy dưới thời Obama - về nguyên tắc, chính sách đối ngoại cũng tương tự. Nhưng chính sách đối nội rất khác nhau, vì vậy đối với người Mỹ, có một sự khác biệt lớn giữa Đảng Cộng hòa và Dân chủ. Và hôm nay tôi sẽ nói về sự khác biệt này.

Tôi sẽ bắt đầu với những thứ hời hợt. Như nhiều người có thể biết, đảng Dân chủ tự do hơn, còn đảng Cộng hòa thì bảo thủ hơn. Nó được thể hiện như thế nào: Đảng Dân chủ tin rằng thời gian đang chuyển động, và đất nước, chính trị, con người nên phát triển, vì vậy Đảng Dân chủ ủng hộ nhiều điều mà đảng Cộng hòa không ủng hộ. Ví dụ như phá thai, hôn nhân đồng giới, quy định về vũ khí. Đổi lại, lý tưởng của những người Cộng hòa là nước Mỹ của những người sáng lập. Như đã được họ để lại, đất nước nên được phát triển. Do đó, đảng Cộng hòa ủng hộ nhiều hơn các giá trị lịch sử, bảo thủ hơn; hầu hết trong số họ chống phá thai, hôn nhân đồng giới; chống lại quy định của vũ khí. Đây là một cái nhìn hời hợt về Đảng Dân chủ và Cộng hòa và chính trị trong nước của họ.

Đảng Dân chủ dựa vào chính phủ và nói rằng nên chăm sóc người dân. Do đó, họ chỉ trích đảng Dân chủ và Obama vì đã phát triển chủ nghĩa xã hội và bình đẳng ở Hoa Kỳ. Và đảng Cộng hòa dựa vào mọi người và tin rằng mỗi người nên tự chăm sóc bản thân mình, rằng nhà nước nên cho phép mỗi người độc lập đạt được những gì mình muốn. Nếu bạn có sự kiên trì, thông minh, kỹ năng, thì bạn sẽ đạt được điều gì đó, nhưng nếu bạn không có nó, thì bạn sẽ sống kém. Đó là sự khác biệt lớn giữa hai lực lượng này.

Do đó, quan điểm về thuế: Đảng Dân chủ cho rằng cần phải tăng thuế cho người giàu và giảm cho người nghèo, nghĩa là cho người nghèo sống nhờ người giàu. Đảng Cộng hòa nói rằng thuế nên giống nhau cho tất cả mọi người, bởi vì tất cả mọi người đều bình đẳng; người giàu đã tự mình đạt được điều gì đó, người nghèo không đạt được điều gì vì bản thân mình.

Đảng Dân chủ cũng tin rằng nhà nước nên tăng mức lương tối thiểu, và đảng Cộng hòa chống lại điều đó, vì họ nói rằng điều đó sẽ can thiệp vào các doanh nghiệp nhỏ. Nếu nhà tuyển dụng không trả tiền cho nhân viên, thì điều này sẽ gây hại cho chính doanh nghiệp, nền kinh tế và đất nước trong dài hạn.

Tiếp tục chủ đề xã hội chủ nghĩa, tôi sẽ nói rằng đảng Dân chủ tin rằng cần phải tăng chi tiêu cho tất cả các loại chương trình xã hội, như tem thực phẩm, nhà ở ngân sách, v.v. Ngược lại, đảng Cộng hòa nói rằng tất cả những điều này phải được giảm bớt, bởi vì có rất nhiều gian lận trong khu vực này Nhiều người làm việc "một cách thường xuyên" và nhận được phiếu giảm giá dưới vỏ bọc của người nghèo; Nhiều người không tìm kiếm việc làm, nhận thất nghiệp (trợ cấp thất nghiệp) và sống bằng chi phí của người nộp thuế, v.v. Và đảng Cộng hòa ủng hộ thực tế là nếu bạn đã cắt giảm chi tiêu cho các chương trình xã hội khác nhau, bạn cần đưa ra một số quy tắc, luật lệ sẽ quy định việc nhận trợ cấp xã hội của mọi người để có thể kiểm tra những người đó sử dụng ma túy và những người này thực sự đang tìm việc.

Answers

Answer:

He negotiated the Torrijos–Carter Treaties, which provided for the return of the Panama Canal to Panama in 1999. In an effort to end the Arab–Israeli conflict, he helped arrange the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt. Carter clearly defined the foundation of his foreign policy: “Our policy is based on an historical vision of America's role. Our policy is derived from a larger view of global change. Our policy is rooted in our moral values, which never change. Our policy is reinforced by our material wealth and by our military power.

Explanation:

The greatest foreign policy success of the Carter presidency involved the Middle East. After the Yom Kippur War of 1973 between Israel and its Arab enemies, Egypt and Syria, the Israelis had gradually disengaged their forces and moved a distance back in the Sinai Peninsula.                                                                              .                                               HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL TO YOU

Which two items explain why the Articles of Confederation were considered weak? It did not permit Congress to conduct foreign affairs. It gave too much power to the states. It provided for a very strong federal government. It did not allow Congress to issue currency. Reset Next​

Answers

Answer:

It gave too much power to the states. It did not allow Congress to issue currency.

Explanation:

When the framers of the Articles of Confederation designed it, they did not want a Federal government that would be too powerful. They therefore gave Congress reduced powers that would keep it subservient to states.

The states therefore had too much power. They could negotiate trade deals with each other and decided the amount of taxes they would give the Federal government. They could also issue their own currency which meant that this was another power that Congress did not have.

Madison and the other framers realized that the role of the new Constitution was to define what is meant by "citizen" and "rights " strictly limit the power of government . spell out the natural rights of citizens . none of the above

Answers

The correct answer is "strictly limit the power of government."

Madison and the other framers realized that the role of the new Constitution was strictly limit the power of government.

During the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania during the summer of 1787, Federalists, led by prominent Americans such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, supported the idea of a strong central government for the United States. On the other hand, Antifederalists such as Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams did not support that way of thinking. They believed in a simpler form of government in which the citizens had natural rights.

The United States founding fathers had many differences during the Constitutional Convention but they were humble and smart enough to debate, listen to each other's arguments, and negotiate to allow the best interests of the country.

When trying to ratify the Constitution by the states, James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.

What is trench warfare, and why was so much of World War I dominated by this method of fighting?

Answers

Answer:

please mark as brainliest answer as it will also give you 3 pts

Explanation:

trench warfare, warfare in which opposing armed forces attack, counterattack, and defend from relatively permanent systems of trenches dug into the ground. The opposing systems of trenches are usually close to one another. Trench warfare is resorted to when the superior firepower of the defense compels the opposing forces to “dig in” so extensively as to sacrifice their mobility in order to gain protection

A trench system may begin simply as a collection of foxholes hastily dug by troops using their entrenching tools. These holes may subsequently be deepened so that a soldier can safely stand up in one of them, and the individual foxholes may be connected by shallow crawl trenches. From this beginning a system of more permanent field fortifications may be constructed. In making a trench, soil from the excavation is used to create raised parapets running both in front of and behind the trench. Within the trench are firing positions along a raised forward step called a fire step, and duckboards are placed on the often muddy bottom of the trench to provide secure footing.

Trench warfare reached its highest development on the Western Front during World War I (1914–18), when armies of millions of men faced each other in a line of trenches extending from the Belgian coast through northeastern France to Switzerland. These trenches arose within the first few months of the war’s outbreak, after the great offensives launched by Germany and France had shattered against the deadly, withering fire of the machine gun and the rapid-firing artillery piece. The sheer quantity of bullets and shells flying through the air in the battle conditions of that war compelled soldiers to burrow into the soil to obtain shelter and survive
