The correct answer is England.

In the 1600s England was relatively poor compared to other European countries, provoking increased problems and poverty in cities like London. One option would be to invest in the New World colonies, but fearing the usage of royal money in a risky venture, they opted to start joint-stock companies to get funding from different sources.

Joint-stock company became one of the foundations for modern corporatism, creating the ideas of stock markets, capital and risk. These trading ventures proved to be successful and successfully developed British settlements with private investors.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The statement that is true for the three bottles would be that all three bottles will have the same internal pressure. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

(20) For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The drawbacks would be that many would be excused from harsh punishment as they will be fined in proportion to their case; and by Earls and Barons being fined only by their class, it allows those classes to get away with their actions whenever they do something to a lower class. The benefits would be the same as the drawbacks, less punishment and the ability to get away with crimes.

You have to choose something like the Berlin Airlift for example, and you need to explain how it reflected the us policy of containment.

Be sure to add the bolded parts

here is some information you could use for the article you need to write--
 --The Berlin Airlift came about as a result of an economic crisis and an attempt by the West to introduce a new currency to stabilize the country’s finances.

The Russians closed access to the Western-controlled sectors of Berlin, threatening to starve the people in those sectors unless the Allies withdrew their currency plans.

Since ground and rail transportation routes were blocked by the Communists, the west flew planes into West Berlin with food and supplies, starting in June of 1948.

By the following spring, more supplies were reaching the city than had previously arrived by rail, and the Soviets ended the blockade in May of 1949. None of this changed the boundaries or lowered tensions much.

--
The West, primarily the U.S. simply maintained the status quo with their policy of containment so that Communism didn’t speak significantly into other parts of the world. The freedom of West Berlin was an example of the will of the West to maintain that containment.

--
The thinking at the time was that, if South Viet Nam fell to the Communists in the North, then the other countries in the region would “fall like dominoes.” (the domino theory)

Explain what it means “ There can be no respect for law that is not right.”

This means that people will not follow that law specifically if it is ridiculous or discriminates against a group of people.
