I'm pretty sure that the most suitable one is C. Renewed interest among students in the humanities

Answer: D. Tighter federal oversight laws and restrictions.

After an environmental tragedy like this occurs, the government tends to impose tighter laws and restrictions to ensure it does not happen again. This could be a positive externality for the national environment. It is unlikely that the situation will lead to more funds being given to pro-business political candidates, especially if they were involved in the accident in any way. Moreover, there is no obvious reason for the leak to lead to more oceanic research. Finally, the interest among students in the humanities will not necessarily improve as the incident has nothing to do with the humanities.

According to Madison, how is the separation of powers between the branches guaranteed by the Constitution? What are the responsi
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

In the words of James Madison: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Within the separation of powers, each of the three branches of government has “checks and balances” over the other two. For instance, Congress makes the laws, but the President can veto them and the Supreme Court can declare them unconstitutional. The President enforces the law, but Congress must approve executive appointments and the Supreme Court rules whether executive action is constitu-tional. The Supreme Court can strike down actions by both the legislative and executive branches, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices and the Senate confirms or denies their nominations. “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition,” wrote James Madison in Federalist 51, so that each branch will seek to limit the power of the other two branches to protect its own power. Such a system makes concerted action more difficult, but it also makes tyranny less likely.

Describe the significance of decisions made by the Supreme Court in at least one paragraph must be at least five complete senten
Pani-rosa [81]

Decisions of the supreme court are extremely important because it sets boundaries for our country, and serves those who deserve it, justice. We as a nation, are sinful, and lack wisdom, but if we chose good, wise people to serve the country Justice, we can rest assured that we will be avenged. Though the supreme court does make flawed decisions - as we all do - they are people who work hard each day to bring our country justice; and for that they deserve much respect.

This is not all that the report should be, but I am not doing it for you. Use your head, and logical thinkin. What would it be like if we had no courts? Hopefully this can give you some pointers.

List and explain four new methods or inventions in agriculture in this era.
ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Cotton Gin: In colonial times, cotton cloth was more expensive than linen or wool because of the extreme difficulty of separating seed from the clinging fibers. One man could pick the seeds from only about 1 pound of cotton fiber per day.

2. Reaper/Binder: Small grains had been harvested by hand for centuries, cut with sickles or scythes, hand-raked and tied into sheaves. Grain harvesting machines first appeared in Great Britain in about 1800, and in the U.S. a decade or two later, but most failed. Obed Hussey and Cyrus McCormick developed successful reapers during the 1830s. 

3. Thresher: When grain was being cut by hand, the method for separating the kernels from the straw was equally slow and labor intensive. Grain was hauled to a barn where it was spread on a threshing floor and either beaten with hand flails or trampled by animals. That knocked the kernels free of the straw, which was then raked away. The remaining mixture was winnowed by tossing it into the air where the wind was relied upon to blow the chaff and lighter debris away from the heavier grain, which fell back onto the threshing floor.

4. Combined Harvester-Thresher: By the 1920s the steam traction engine was on it's way out, but it paved the way for the gasoline tractors that followed.

Tems11 [23]

Answer: You can consult:

Map reading and map drawing are important skills to learn in geography. ... Maps also help us to know distances so that we know how far away one thing is from another.

I'm not sure but hope it helps.
