Common law evolves in part based on decisions in court cases.


"Common law" in English history was the body of precedents established by courts and procedures from the Middle Ages onward. It wasn't so much that there was a codified system of laws, but there were past practices and procedures that informed legal decisions to be made in the present. The American legal system still takes this sort of approach to law, letting past precedents inform decisions on new situations that arise.

The arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union began when
Alika [10]

Answer:

The Soviet Union developed its own atomic bomb.

Explanation:

Among the world leaders, the United States was the first to develop and even test out its nuclear weapon. The attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War helped project the US as the most powerful power.

But the development of nuclear arms by the Soviet Union led to competition for the world power. The Soviets developed their own atomic bomb and tested its very first atomic bomb in 1949. This nuclear test codenamed "<em>RDS-1" or "First Lightning"</em> at the Semipalatinsk test site in what is now modern-day Kazakhstan led to the race for power especially between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Where was Democritus from?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Abdera, Greece

Explanation:

Democritus was said to be born in the city of Abdera in Thrace, an Ionian colony of Teos, although some called him a Milesian. He was born in the 80th Olympiad (460–457 BC) according to Apollodorus of Athens, and although Thrasyllus placed his birth in 470 BC, the later date is probably more likely.
