Just like the <span>Tramecksans and the Slamecksans are fighting over wearing high vs. low heels, Lilliput and Blefuscu are fighting over the right way of breaking eggs. Furthermore, it's an old conflict, which started when the Emperor's great-grandfather was alive. Swift makes these things causes of conflicts because he wants the reader to infer that politics is far too often brought down to petty trinkets which are not even worth considering. Even more, wars are being fought in the name of such conflicts. Of course, there is more to it than meets the eye: wars are the way to acquire material goods. But the common people still believe this nonsense, letting themselves be fooled.</span>

In the loss to Italy, what did Great Britain give up?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The First and Second World Wars left Britain weakened and less interested in its empire. Also many parts of the empire contributed troops and resources to the war effort and took an increasingly independent view. This led to a steady decline of the empire after 1945.

How many states must approve an amendment before it can be added to the Constitution?
zhannawk [14.2K]

For an amendment to be added to the constitution of the United States, it must be approved by 3/4 states or 38 states out of 50. This rule is based on Article V of the constitution.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To add an amendment to the constitution, there are several requirements such as:

1. At least two-thirds members of both Houses of Congress (the Senate and House of Representatives) or two-thirds of the state legislatures must propose the same amendment to be debated.

2. If the above conditions are met, the proposed amendment is discussed at a national convention or by local conventions in each state.

3. The amendment is validated if the legislatures of 3/4 of the states vote in favor.

We can see that this system is democratic because it does not favor small states over big ones. With this Article, each state has the same value, regardless of its size or population. It is quite rare for an amendment to be rejected by the states when it is discussed during a convention. But it has happened several times in the history of the United States such as the case of the Corwin amendment concerning slavery in 1861, or the amendment banning child labor in 1924.
