bulgar [2K]3 years ago

Answer:

C. It was a compromise between big and small states so that states with a larger population cannot control presidential elections

Explanation:

Durign its earlier creation, small states believed that there is no point for them to be uniting under one federal government. This perception was created because they typically have lower population compared to the bigger states.

Meaning that if smaller states and bigger states conduct a vote to elect a government that rule all of them, smaller states will always lose if the result is determined by simple majority.

As a compromise, electoral college was created.  Rather than basing the total number of votes based on the number of population, The election in the electoral college is based on  the amount of people that each state has within the The Senate and House of Representatives.

This provide an opportunity for smaller states to over the big states during the general election.

intersecting domains of oppression that create a social space of domination and, by extension, a unique position within that spa
Dominik [7]

Answer:

It takes into account people's overlapping identities and experiences to understand the complexity of the prejudices they face.

In other words, the affirmative intersectional theory that people are often disadvantaged by multiple sources of oppression: their race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and other markers of identity. Intersectionality recognizes that identity markers (eg, "feminine" and "black") do not exist identified by each other, and each of the information to the others, often creating a complex convergence of oppression.

Explanation:

Today, intersectionality is considered crucial for social equity work. Activists and community organizations are asking for and participating in more dynamic conversations about differences in experience between people with different overlapping identities. Without an intersectional lens, events and movements that aim to address injustice toward one group can end up perpetuating systems of inequities towards other groups. Intersectionality fully informs YW Boston's work, by encouraging nuanced conversations about inequality in Boston. It illuminates us about health disparities among women of color, provides avenues for our youth leaders to understand identity, and is crucial to the advocacy work we support.

contributions of the Babylonians to society? Explain why each was important and how each contribution influenced change.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).

Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).
