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.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAPP!!! -What makes a disease a pandemic? Include an example.

Blizzard [7]

Usually, a disease is considered pandemic when it crosses international borders. A disease that does not cross international borders is an epidemic. An example of a pandemic would be the Black Plague (also called the Black Death or the Bubonic Plague), which killed most of the population of Western Medieval Europe.

Hope this helps!

Match the famous Roman with the description that best fits them.

"I was the very first Roman Emperor, ruling with absolute power until I was assassinated at the Roman Senate." = JULIUS CAESAR (although technically he was Dictator of the Roman Republic rather than taking the title "emperor").

"I was a Roman Emperor who was rumored to have started the Great Fire of Rome but instead I used it as an excuse to persecute Christians." = NERO

"According to legend, my brother and I built the city of Rome until we fought over its name so I killed him." = ROMULUS

"My great uncle was Julius Caesar so I hunted those responsible for his murder, was the first emperor to take the title 'Caesar,' and am credited with bringing about the Pax Romana." = CAESAR AUGUSTUS

"I was a Roman Emperor who 'defeated' the god of the sea Neptune, collecting seashells as my prize, and threatened to make my horse a Consul of Rome." = CALIGULA

"I was a Roman Emperor who persecuted Christians and decided that the best solution to Rome's problems was to divide it into An Eastern Empire and a Western Empire." = DIOCLETIAN
