Why is the civil war the clearest example of a conflict between state and national governments?

1 answer:

6 0

Because there was dispute on whether the United States was a single entity or an amalgamation of independent nations. Before the Civil War, some states, like South Carolina, thought that a state had the right to nullify federal laws and even to secede from the United States.

When the original 13 independent colonies announced their independence from Great Britain in 1776 they considered themselves as independent states, however, the requests of the Revolutionary War obligated the states to acknowledge a need for a central government.

Explain ONE specific way in which imperialism affected the development of the domestic economies of imperial states.

inysia [295]

Answer: The exploitation of natural and mineral resources.

Explanation:

It is common knowledge that the imperialist powers exploited the conquered lands to the extreme. Everything that could make a profit was used. The hair folks who worked those hard jobs were forced to work for free or for food. So the colonial powers had cheap labor, and they got the raw materials for free. In this way, they could satisfy the domestic market and sell the surplus and gain enormous financial benefits.

Did buddhism "triumph" in china in the same sense in which christianity triumphed in the roman world?

stira [4]

I can't say I know much about the history of Buddhism, but I think I know something about the practice itself. Christianity is a religion of action - a religion that speaks out and acts out. It's a religion that goes to war and asserts itself to gain followers and prove points. From what I understand about Buddhism, it is a 'passive' religion. It is a system of belief that stands on meditation and response rather than reaction. I haven't really heard of any Buddhist groups starting wars, fighting in battles, and singing in victory. Their triumph comes in quiet ways whereas it seems that Christianity triumphed in loud and obvious ways.
