Answer:

Kenya

Tourism is the main source of income, although it has the most diversified industry in East Africa. Coffee and tea stand out in crops (30% of GDP). The main port of the country is Mombasa. The European Union is the main trading partner of Kenya. According to the studies on the HDI of 2006 it was the country where there is less wage differentiation between sexes (0.83). Kenya presents a free market economy with little state intervention.

South Africa

South Africa's economy is the most powerful and important in the African continent, as it accounts for almost 25% of all continent's GDP, and plays an important role in the development of the region. It is considered as a medium-high income economy by the World Bank. The South African economy has a large volume of national capital - public and private - in close relationship with the major world economies. Despite this, unemployment is extremely high and South Africa is among the ten countries with the most social inequality according to the Gini coefficient, about a quarter of the population is unemployed and the same proportion lives on less than 1.25 dollars per day. Like most African economies, this is a free market with little intervention from the state.

Did the Federalists or Anti- Federalists have more influence on the "Bill of Rights?"
Tatiana [17]

The Anti-Federalists had more influence on the Bill of Rights, as they were the ones who wanted it in the first place. The Federalists thought a Bill of Rights was unnecessary, while the Anti-Federalists pushed for it.

The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was very weak and gave little to no power to the federal government. The federal government could not tax the states, regulate trade, create and enforce laws properly, and numerous other important matters. The Anti-Federalists agreed with this, as they associated having a strong government with British tyranny. They thought that if the government was powerful, they may abuse the citizens. The Federalists on the other hand wanted a stronger government. They believed that having a strong government meant having a strong country, and they thought the Articles of Confederation was doing more harm than good. When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 occurred, the Articles of Confederation was only meant to be changed. It ended up getting thrown out all together and the United States Constitution was created instead. The Anti-Federalists disagreed with this and demanded to have a Bill of Rights, which would protect the citizen's rights. The Federalists thought this wasn't needed, as the states had the powers that the federal government did not. The Anti-Federalists insisted though and believed it was important that they had a proper document protecting their rights.

The Anti-Federalists had more influence while creating the Bill of Rights because they were the ones who pushed for it in the first place. They thought having a document to protect the rights of the citizens was needed, while the Federalists thought it was essentially useless as the states already had all of the powers that the federal government did not hold.

Why do we call a weak stock market a bear?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Food and personal care stocks often called “defensive stocks,” usually do well. There are times when bonds go up as stocks decline. Sometimes a particular sector of the market, such as utilities, real estate, or health care, might do well, even if other sectors are losing value
