History

Answer:

Social – The social conditions in France in the late 18th century were remarkably unequal and exploitative. The clergy and the nobility formed the first two Estates and were the most privileged classes in French society. They were excluded from the payment of taxes to the State. On the other hand, the Third Estate that consisted of peasants and workers formed the majority of the population. They were charged with excessive taxes with no political and social rights. As a result, they were extremely discontent.

Economic – As a result of numerous wars waged by Louis XVI the State coffers were empty. The situation was made even more complex by France’s involvement in the American War of Independence and the faulty system of taxation. While the privileged classes were excused from paying taxes the Third Estate was more and more burdened with them.

Political – The Bourbon king of France, Louis XVI was an extremely autocratic and weak-willed king who led a life of obscene luxury. This led to a lot of disenchantment among the masses who then were leading life of extreme poverty and widespread hunger.

Intellectual – The 18th century was marked by a conscious refusal by French thinkers of the ‘Divine Rights Theory’. Philosophers like Rousseau rejected the paradigm of absolute monarchy and promulgated the doctrine of equality of man and sovereignty of people. They played a pivotal role in exposing the fault lines of the old political system, i.e. the ancien regime, and articulating the popular discontent.

Which Native American tribe was an enemy of the Wichita and an ally of the Spanish in Texas?
MrRissso [65]

The Querechos or Apaches.

The Wichitas fought wars with other tribes. They didn't fight over territory, but instead to prove their courage. Some tribes the Wichitas frequently fought and consider their <em>enemies</em> were the Apaches.

During the end of the Spanish rule, the Apaches staged constant attacks against the Spanish missions. But as de 1700s wore on, they found themselves subject to attacking from the fearsome Comanches. Eventually, they entered an on-again, off-again relationship with the Spanish, sometimes warring and attacking, other times <em>allying with the Spanish</em> against the Comanches and other enemies. Those peace efforts with the Spanish resulted in the establishment of Spanish missions.

Who was the first president to make a concerted effort ot establish the primac of the national government?
ludmilkaskok [199]
The correct answer is <span>George Washington. I believe you wanted to say primacy. The idea is that there should be a strong national government and it doesn't get any earlier than him since he was after all the first president of the United States. He didn't like the idea of parties because he believed they would split the people and the government.</span>
