The correct answer is wealthy or rich.

In America during the Articles of Confederation, many public officials did not get paid. This is because the federal government lacked the ability to collect taxes from states. Without any new sources of revenue, the individuals running for public office had to be people who were willing to work without a guaranteed salary. Only the most wealthy citizens were able to do this, as a majority of Americans would not survive without some sort of compensation.

How did mercantilism and transatlantic trade lead to the development of colonies.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Parliament's decision to regulate transatlantic commerce with its American colonies was motivated by mercantilism. All shipments to or from British North America had to be made on British ships, and any shipments bound for Europe had to first arrive in Britain in order to be taxed there. Only to Britain might certain products be shipped.

Concept(s):

  • Mercantilism

- Mercantile system, a system or political and economic policy, evolving with the modern state and seeking to secure a nation's political and economic supremacy in it's rivalry with other states. According to this system, money was regarded as a store of wealth, and the goal of a state was the accumulation of precious metals, by exporting the largest possible quantity of its products and importing as little as possible, thus establishing a favorable balance of trade.

  • Transatlantic

- Crossing or reaching across the Atlantic; situated beyond the Atlantic.

Explanation:

<em>What is the connection between mercantilism and colonialism?</em>

Colonialism was viewed as an outgrowth of mercantilism in the 18th century. According to marchantilism, every nation should make an effort to increase exports while reducing imports. The purpose of colonies was to complement the goods that the colonizer could generate on its own.

All trade related to colonialism was mandated by the British, in particular, to go via England. Colonial traders were not permitted to make direct purchases or sales from suppliers or to any foreign clients. Additionally, colonists were not permitted to directly sell things made in the home nation. The British saw the entire empire as a closed system. The American colonists were aware that they were paying more for their purchases and receiving less money for their sales. This was one of the triggers for the American Revolution.

Even though the Americans prevailed in their battle, the mercantilist concept persisted. Until the European colonial system collapsed after World War II, every major imperialist power made an effort to prevent other countries from stealing resources from its colonies and mandated that colonialists be supplied by the home country in some way.

The video points out that our Founding Fathers did not fully consider the role of political parties when drafting the Constituti
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Thanks!

Explanation:

oday, it may seem impossible to imagine the U.S. government without its two leading political parties, Democrats and Republicans. But in 1787, when delegates to the Constitutional Convention gathered in Philadelphia to hash out the foundations of their new government, they entirely omitted political parties from the new nation’s founding document.

This was no accident. The framers of the new Constitution desperately wanted to avoid the divisions that had ripped England apart in the bloody civil wars of the 17th century. Many of them saw parties—or “factions,” as they called them—as corrupt relics of the monarchical British system that they wanted to discard in favor of a truly democratic government.

“It was not that they didn’t think of parties,” says Willard Sterne Randall, professor emeritus of history at Champlain College and biographer of six of the Founding Fathers. “Just the idea of a party brought back bitter memories to some of them.”

Marco Polo's focus when describing Java is evidence of what development from c. 1200 to c. 1450?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It was the rise of the modern age.

Explanation:

Marco Polo witnessed the era of splendor of the Mongol Empire and saw things that his Venetian neighbors could not even dream of: remote cities, huge palaces, unknown religions, and strange animals.

When he returned home, many did not believe the wonders that counted. In fact, some parts of the book are believed to be pure invention, but there is no doubt that Marco Polo was one of the greatest travelers in history.

Curiously, after living so many adventures, his story has reached our days by chance: the one that caused him, when he lost that battle against the Genoese, to end up in a cell with a writer who told his story and made it eternal
