<span>Iranian leaders do not like American culture with its excess and what would be considered loose morals in that part of the world.

Replacing the stop signs at Walnut and Birch Streets with roundabouts is the best choice. Roundabouts cost less than traffic signals and cost less money to keep up. Intersections with roundabouts have fewer accidents than those with signals or stop signs.
During the American Revolution, Patriot General George Washington
crosses the Delaware River with 5,400 troops, hoping to surprise a
Hessian force celebrating Christmas at their winter quarters in Trenton,
New Jersey. The unconventional attack came after several months of
substantial defeats for Washington’s army that had resulted in the loss
of New York City and other strategic points in the region.
At
about 11 p.m. on Christmas, Washington’s army commenced its crossing of
the half-frozen river at three locations. The 2,400 soldiers led by
Washington successfully braved the icy and freezing river and reached
the New Jersey side of the Delaware just before dawn. The other two
divisions, made up of some 3,000 men and crucial artillery, failed to
reach the meeting point at the appointed time.
At approximately 8
a.m. on the morning of December 26, Washington’s remaining force,
separated into two columns, reached the outskirts of Trenton and
descended on the unsuspecting Hessians. Trenton’s 1,400 Hessian
defenders were groggy from the previous evening’s festivities and
underestimated the Patriot threat after months of decisive British
victories throughout New York. Washington’s men quickly overwhelmed the
Germans’ defenses, and by 9:30 a.m. the town was surrounded. Although
several hundred Hessians escaped, nearly 1,000 were captured at the cost
of only four American lives. However, because most of Washington’s army
had failed to cross the Delaware, he was without adequate artillery or
men and was forced to withdraw from the town.
The victory was not
particularly significant from a strategic point of view, but news of
Washington’s initiative raised the spirits of the American colonists,
who previously feared that the Continental Army was incapable of
victory.
Year (III) French Constitution established during the Thermidorian Reaction in the French Revolution was more conservative than the abortive democratic Constitution of 1793. The Constitution of 1795 established a liberal republic with a franchise based based on the payment taxes similar to that of the Constitution of 179; a bicameral legislature to slow down the legislative process; and a five man Directory. The central government retain a great power, incluiding emergency powers to curb freedom of the press and freedom of association.
