What policy did Britain pursue during the reign of William and Mary?
marta [7]

Answer:

The English Bill of Rights

Explanation:

The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution. A more contentious argument is that the constitutional changes made property rights more secure and thus promoted economic development.

The English Bill of Rights (1689) was drawn up by Parliament and signed by William and Mary in 1689. The bill was conceived to ensure that the power of the monarchy would be, in the future, limited and that Parliament could function free from royal interference.

William and Mary proclaimed joint sovereigns of Britain. The Bill of Rights, which greatly limited royal power and broadened constitutional law, granted Parliament control of finances and the army and prescribed the future line of royal succession, declaring that no Roman Catholic would ever be sovereign of England.

Could the government make the economy less reliant on exports in china?
Basile [38]
Yes but it would require a lot of work, money, and the economy would suffer at first. The first route is to slowly diverge and start importing from other countries. The other countries will use the money to start to produce things we request. This will happen over a long amount of time as other countries go through a sort of revolution and gain new ties with the U.S. The economy will suffer for years and things will become more expensive but in the long run our economy will stabilize and receive things it couldn’t have had before due to industrialization in baren countries and China continues to suffer as they cannot rely on the U.S. for major export.

Which of the following happened under the devshirme system?
zzz [600]

Answer: C. Christian boys were drafted to be slaves for the sultan; they were trained and educated as soldiers and bureacrats.

Explanation:

The devshirme system has existed since the earliest period of the rise of the Ottoman Empire. These Christian boys received a great education in every sense, and primarily in the military. That elite military formation was called the Janissaries, and they were under the sultan's direct control. Some people have made a lot of progress in their careers with the devshirme system. Thus, Mehmed Pasha Sokolović, who was taken from the Balkans to Constantinople by Devšir, became the Grand Vizier. This is the highest position in the empire after the Sultan.
