The diversification of grasses has occurred mostly in the last 20 million years. Some scientists have argued that this can be explained by a decline in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Most of the Earth's surface is covered by grassland biomes, which currently account for up to one-third of net primary production on land. Grasses make up the majority of grassland biomass and plant populations, but other plant groups, especially the Daisy family, are usually as diverse as grasses.

A new landscape was created when grasslands emerged, and grazing mammals like horses, wombats, and capybaras were among the various life forms that co-evolved with this biome and benefited from the substrate that grasses supplied.

Should juveniles have the right to a trial by a jury of his or her peers?
Andrej [43]
No I don't think so because his or her peers could "cheat" meaning that they could lie and get him out of trouble. Another reason why they shouldn't is because if some of his or her peers didn't like he or she they could make it so that he or she would for sure get in trouble.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

experiments with Darwin’s original hypotheses

Explanation:

Charles Darwin is known for his theory of evolution which stated that species change over time as a result of the natural selection and all the species have descended from a common ancestor.

Mendel published his results in 1865 which termed the heredity material as factors but both of them were unknown with the concept of the gene.

Later experiments showed that evolution is correlated with genes or the genes control the evolution by causing mutation in the DNA. These experiments are the ones which were performed to test the original hypothesis of Darwin.

What democratic principles were advanced
TEA [102]
1. Rights come from God, not government

This Founding Principle is actually embedded in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The Founders didn’t believe governments bestowed rights, nor were they an agent to protect rights—governments were the ones that abridged rights.

2. All political power emanates from the people

The Founders were strongly influenced by John Locke, who advocated government as a social contract. The term, will of the governed, encapsulates this concept, which means the people are boss. The power of the people is declared in the first three words of the Constitution, “We the people …” This principle is also the underlying basis for our Declaration of Independence, “governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

This principle dictated that conventions of the people were the only authorizing force to ratify the Constitution. Neither Congress nor the state legislatures had the power.

Delegate William Paterson, author of the New Jersey Plan, wrote, “What is a Constitution? It is the form of government, delineated by the mighty hand of the people, in which certain first principles of fundamental law are established.”

3. Limited representative republic

The Founders believed in limited government in the form of a representative republic. They distrusted a direct democracy, because they equated it to mob rule. James Madison constantly preached against any system that allowed special interests (factions) to gain control of the government. He showed that throughout history, majority factions tyrannized minorities, whether the minorities be based on race, wealth, religion, or even geography.

The Founders believed that to protect against government oppression, they must disperse power, and give each branch of government formidable checks on the authority of every other branch. By the end of the Constitutional Convention, the Founders also came to firmly believe that the states must act as a solid check on the national government. Last, monarchies had general power, so they would give the national government only delineated powers.

4. Written Constitution

If government is a social contract, and it has only limited power formally delegated by the people, then the contract—Constitution—must be in writing. The strongest proponent of a written constitution was Thomas Paine, who said, “[A]n unwritten constitution is not a constitution at all.” This may seem commonplace today, but England, the most powerful nation on earth, had no written constitution. This was different in America, however, where all thirteen states had a written constitution. This American tradition goes back to the Mayflower Compact. Our national heritage is a written constitution that sets the rules for governance between the people and their elected representatives. The Founders intent was that this contract would only be changed through the amendment process.

5. Private Property Rights

The Founders were influenced by Adam Smith, and were firm believers in private property rights. In their minds, private property rights were intertwined with liberty. True liberty would never allow the government to come at any time and take a person’s property. That would be Divine Right, which they had fought eight bloody years to escape.

James Madison said, “As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.” He meant that even if a person owned nothing else, he still owned his rights, which were the most valuable property of all.

The Constitutional Convention delegates didn’t agree on everything. In fact, they possibly only agreed on these Founding Principles. After all, they did argue for four months about the design of the government.
