Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

In the Copernicus's model of the solar system, the sun was present at the centre of the universe and all the rest of the planets including the sun, stars revolve around it. Initially, it was believed that the planets move in a circular path, but later after much research, it has been discovered that the planets' orbits are in an elliptical path.

According to the Ptolemy's model of the solar system, the earth was believed to be present at the centre of the universe and all other planets, including the sun and stars orbits around it in a circular path. The earth was considered to be fixed.

Both of them had the same interest but they obtained different data by carrying out different experiments. Due to this, their interpretations were also not the same.

Copernicus's model was accepted widely as it was able to explain the facts that are true regarding the solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

The preamble of the U.S. Constitution was written in part to explain why the new form of government differed from the English sy
uranmaximum [27]
The Preamble of the United States writes as this:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The purpose of the Preamble was to introduce the set of laws that would pave the way for America. Coming from a Monarchy, the Founding Fathers did not want their newly formed country to follow the same rules as Great Britain.

Hence, the Constitution was written to explain the idea that the people of the United States would have a say in the laws of the country, and well as explain the democracy America would soon become.

Based on this information, I would answer "True" to your question.
