Answer:
There were an estimated 18 million Native Americans living north of Mexico at the beginning of the European invasion. Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, American Indians were remarkably free of serious diseases. People did not often die from diseases. As the European explorers and colonists began to arrive, this changed and the consequences were disastrous for Native American people. The death tolls from the newly introduced European diseases often reached 80-90 percent. Entire groups of people vanished before the tidal wave of disease.
Explanation:
The diseases brought to this continent by the Europeans included bubonic plague, chicken pox, pneumonic plague, cholera, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, typhus, tuberculosis, and whooping cough. The diseases introduced in the Americas by the Europeans were crowd diseases: that is, individuals who have once contracted the disease and survived become immune to the disease. In a small population, the disease will become extinct. Measles, for instance, requires a population of about 300,000 to survive. If the population size drops below this threshold, the virus can cause illness and death, but after one epidemic, the virus itself dies out.
Another important factor in the European diseases was the presence of domesticated animals. The source of many of the infections was the domesticated animals which lived in close proximity with the humans.
Overall, hundreds of thousands of Indians died of European diseases during the first two centuries following contact. In terms of death tolls, smallpox killed the greatest number of Indians, followed by measles, influenza, and bubonic plague.
That really depends as politics were constantly changing through the course of history. If you're referring to the time around the constitution, then the main political parties would be the Federalists and the Anti Federalists in which the Federalists were in favor of a strong central government while the anti Federalists scorned the idea in fear of a repeat of their much hated former king.
Answer:
I believe its: Role of government in regulating production
<u>Question 1</u>
The correct answer is: "FALSE".
The total revenue earned by a firm is computed using the formula:
R= price * quantity
According to the formula, if the term "price" increases, R would increase too. But an increase in price usually decreases the amount demanded by consumers of a certain product. Therefore, if quantity demanded drops in a higher proportion than the increase in price, the final total revenue would decrease. So the final effect depends on the size of the two variations.
<u>Question 2</u>
<u>The determinants of demand are the following:</u>
- Price: inversely related to the quantity demanded, as the larger the price the smaller the amount demanded of a product.
- Income of consumers: directly related. The larger the income earned by an economic agent, the larger the amount demanded of a normal good (there are exceptions, such as inferior goods, for which income and demand are inversely related).
- Prices of related goods of services. If two goods are substitutes, the increase on the price of one, decreases the amount demanded of that product but increases the amount demanded of the other product. It two goods are complements, the increase in the price of one good decreases the amount demanded of it, and the amount demanded of the other product too.
- Tastes or preferences of consumers. If a product is in line with the general preferences of consumers the amount demanded will be large.
- Market expectations. For example, if a price is expected to rise, consumers might prefer to buy now and therefore demand increases at the moment.
