History

Answer:

THE ROMAN REPUBLIC

In many ways, the Roman Republic was very similar to the way in which the United States government is organized today. There are three clear divisions of power, as you will see below.

EXECUTIVE BRANCH

Consuls: Elected by an assembly; ruled as chief executives for one year; controlled the military

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

Senate: Consisted of 300 members; chosen by aristocrats and responsible for foreign affairs and financial policies

Centuriate Assembly: A group of citizen soldiers that were members for life; elected consuls and drafted/passed legislation

Tribal Assembly: Citizens put into groups depending on where they lived; members for life; elected tribunes

JUDICIAL BRANCH

Praetors: Eight judges chosen by the Centuriate Assembly to serve for a year; two of the eight supervised civil court and criminal court  

LEGAL CODE

​The Twelve Tables was similar to the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments of the Constitution), but it only protected free-born male citizens under the law.

CITIZENSHIP

Given to adult man landowners.  

ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE

Dictators: Appointed by consuls and elected by the Senate in a time of catastrophe; power lasted for six months

THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC

The Founding Fathers of The United States borrowed some of the elements of government from Rome, yet developed and added quite a few innovations. Unlike Rome, checks and balances came from the workings of three areas of government: a President, who was responsible for the jobs of Commander in Chief of the military, could appoint ambassadors to conduct foreign policy, and could propose laws to the Legislative Branch; the Legislative Branch is bicameral, including both a Senate, whose members are elected for six year terms, and a House of Representatives, whose members are elected for two year terms. Both houses need to agree on a law before it is sent to the President for signature. Finally, they created an independent Judiciary known as the Supreme Court whose job it was to ensure that laws passed by the Legislature were consistent with the U.S. Constitution.

I’m pretty sure one of the answers is the first option (The Inca were a self sufficient and hardworking group of people), as the text states, “No one who was lazy or tried to live by the work of others was tolerated; everyone had to work”.

The other answer might be the fourth option (The Inca government provided for its people during times of need), as it says in the text, “and if he was ill, he received what he needed from the storehouses)

Post WW1 - What is the next America time period called? And describe two changes that occurred.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Se conoce como período de entreguerras o interbellum al periodo histórico del siglo XX que va de 1918 a 1939. Cronológicamente, se puede establecer desde el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial el 11 de noviembre de 1918 y el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial el 1 de septiembre de 1939.

A pesar de la relativa brevedad del periodo, éste representó una época de cambios significativos en todo el mundo. La producción de energía basada en el petróleo y la mecanización asociada se expandieron de forma espectacular, dando lugar a los locos años veinte, un periodo de prosperidad y crecimiento económico para la clase media de Norteamérica, Europa, Asia y muchas otras partes del mundo. Los automóviles, el alumbrado eléctrico y las emisiones de radio, entre otras cosas, se convirtieron en algo habitual entre las poblaciones del mundo desarrollado. Las indulgencias de la época fueron seguidas posteriormente por la Gran Depresión, una recesión económica mundial sin precedentes que perjudicó gravemente a muchas de las mayores economías del mundo.
