Answer:I’d say A

Explanation:

In response to widespread sentiment that to survive the United States needed a stronger federal government, a convention met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and on September 17 adopted the Constitution of the United States. Aside from Article VI, which stated that "no religious Test shall ever be required as Qualification" for federal office holders, the Constitution said little about religion. Its reserve troubled two groups of Americans--those who wanted the new instrument of government to give faith a larger role and those who feared that it would do so. This latter group, worried that the Constitution did not prohibit the kind of state-supported religion that had flourished in some colonies, exerted pressure on the members of the First Federal Congress. In September 1789 the Congress adopted the First Amendment to the Constitution, which, when ratified by the required number of states in December 1791, forbade Congress to make any law "respecting an establishment of religion."The first two Presidents of the United States were patrons of religion--George Washington was an Episcopal vestryman, and John Adams described himself as "a church going animal." Both offered strong rhetorical support for religion. In his Farewell Address of September 1796, Washington called religion, as the source of morality, "a necessary spring of popular government," while Adams claimed that statesmen "may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand." Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the third and fourth Presidents, are generally considered less hospitable to religion than their predecessors, but evidence presented in this section shows that, while in office, both offered religion powerful symbolic support.

Explain Senator Stephen Douglas’ attempts at securing a bid for the Presidency

leva [86]

Stephen Douglass was a Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate in 1858. Douglas defeated Abraham Lincoln to obtain his Senate seat. He was a supporter of the idea of popular sovereignty, the belief that the settlers in newly admitted territories should determine whether the area would be slave or free. Douglass received the Democratic nomination for president in 1860. Douglass support of popular sovereignty led to the splintering of the Democratic Party into Northern and Southern factions. Northerners opposed secession while Southerners supported it. The splintering of the party led to their defeat and the election of the Republican Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

place these events in the order in which they occurred a. schuman plan proposed b. European Union founded c. European economic c

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

1. Schuman Plan proposed (1950)

2. European Coal and Steel Community created (ECSC) (1952)

3. European Economic Community created (EEC) (1957)

4. European Union founded (EU) (1993)

Explanation:

1. Schuman Plan: On May 9, 1950, Robert Schuman, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, delivered his famous "declaration", considered as the first official proposal in which a realistic project of European unity was specified. The "Schuman declaration", inspired by another of the parents of Europe, Jean Monnet, was based on a fundamental proposal: to create a Franco-German economic community with the objective of the common use of the coal and steel resources of both countries. Once this bilateral agreement was sealed, the community would be opened to the rest of the countries in order to create a large federation in which goods, people and capital would circulate freely.

2. European Coal and Steel Community: It was an international organisation, under the Treaty of Paris 1951, signed by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, seeking to "produce and distribute arrangements for coal and steel and to set up an autonomous institutional system to manage it". It was based on the principles of "common market, common objectives and common institutions". It was founded on July 23, 1952 and started to operate for the coal market on 10th February 1953 and on the 1st May 1953 for the steel market.

3. European Economic Community: On March 25, 1957 two treaties were signed in Rome that gave life to the European Economic Community (EEC) and the Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM). The signatories of the historic agreement were Christian Pineau for France, Joseph Luns for the Netherlands, Paul Henri Spaak for Belgium, Joseph Bech for Luxembourg, Antonio Segni for Italy and Konrad Adenauer for the Federal Republic of Germany. The ratification of the Treaty of Rome by the Parliaments of "the Six" (the same countries than ECSC) took place in the following months and came into force on January 1, 1958.

4. European Union: The treaty of Maastricht signed on February 7, 1992 in the Dutch city of Maastricht and entered into force on November 1, 1993, is the cornerstone in the process of integration of the European Union as it adds a politico-legal dimension to the treaties already in force (Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and the Constitutive Treaty of the European Economic Community (EEC)) which referred to mainly to an economic integration. Its main objective was to direct the European Union to a common foreign and monetary policy, together with the creation of a Central Bank for the year 1999. Likewise, the treaty sought to initiate a serious consideration on common policies of defense, citizenship and environmental protection.

Early settlers didn't have grocery stores and pizza delivery. Give at least two examples of how settlers used their environments

konstantin123 [22]

First of all Early settler hunted their own food when they needed to and harvested their own food to survive.They made their tools, weapons, cloths, means of transportation in many ways one is by walkiing or using a horse. I am sure depending where they lived for example access to a river then they would use a boat. I can imagine if I am living in the mountain where there is snow I would most like like try to use a sled with a animal pulling me. If I lived in the south I most like had a horse with a wagon.
