The theory was that Polynesia “lay within the range of pre-European mariners from South America.” Know go and get that A+ :)
The actions of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other leaders of the United States were important because they helped determine how the concept of liberty and individual rights would be seen for future generations. (I dont know if this helps but I hope so.)
Although direct democracy had been used in some of the colonies, the framers of the Constitution granted voters no legislative or executive powers, because they feared the masses would make poor decisions and be susceptible to whims. During the Progressive Era, however, governments began granting citizens more direct political power. States that formed and joined the United States after the Civil War often assigned their citizens some methods of directly implementing laws or removing corrupt politicians. Citizens now use these powers at the ballot to change laws and direct public policy in their states.
Answer:
copper and iron swords were easier to make but less durable while bronze and steel swords were more effective for combat but more difficult to fashion.
Explanation:
Pros
- Copper: It was a very common material and it could be sharpened easily.
- Iron: Like copper, very easy to find and harder than copper, so it is a better option to fabricate iron swords than copper swords.
- Bronze: Bronze is harder than copper and its rust is just shallow which make bronze swords way durable in comparison. With the materials in hand (copper and tin), it was easy to fabricate bronze swords on a great scale.
- Steel: This is the most durable and hardest of all the elements above.
Cons
- Copper: Easy to get rusty and be broken.
- Iron: Sucseptible to severe oxidation, although it is more durable than copper.
- Bronze: As this is an alloy, it requires copper and tin, which it is not very common to find close each other, so it makes difficult to make bronze swords. Additionally, bronze weapons do not last very much; they are easy to break.
- Steel: Unlike bronze, steel rusting can wreck the sword if it is treated in time. Additionally, on ancient times, steel forges were very uncommon as not many knew the way to create steel from iron and carbon, so steel swords were very expensive and more likely to find in hand of kings and royal guards.
