Senate confirmation of presidential appointments
Answer:
The statement is describing the usual difference in trade policy that exists between monarchies and republics.
Explanation:
The excerpt comes from the Spirit of the Laws, by Montesquieu, who was a French philosopher who promoted republicanism and liberalism.
In the text, Montesqueiu is explaining than in monarchies, trade is very restricted, and is usually only allowed for luxury goods like perfums, spices, or silk clothes, because these goods are used by the nobility as a symbol of their power and status.
In monarchies, for the rest of the population, trade is restricted. The common people therefore cannot access goods from abroad, or can only do so at a very high cost.
In republics, Montesquieu says, trade tends to be more open. Merchants become the ones who do most of the trade, guided by their economic ideas. The merchants therefore obtain many goods from abroad, that both the nobility and the commoner can acquire for a lower price.
In conclusion, Montesquieu is using the argument for trade as another reason to support republics over monarchies.
I think the event happened that after the breakup of the breakup of the Soviet Union is China permitted some private investment but no political reforms.
The biggest difference between the Watergate Scandal and the Iran-Contra Affair is that the Watergate scandal was an internal politics problem, while the Iran-Contra Affair was a foreign politics problem. Both scandals were exposed by the media.
In the Watergate scandal, president Nixon was directly involved and exposed by the media as head of a group perpetrating illegal activities while it was never proved that President Reagan was directly related with the illegal aid to Contras and Iranian terrorist groups. So President Nixon was directly involved in the scandal.
The Watergate scandal was worse in my opinion because it is more famous and it was the only presidential impeachment in U.S. history, and that undermined the public image of american democracy.
If one country became Communist, others would follow.
