6 0

The Federal Reserve System was created in the early 1900s in an effort to decentralize the central bank. The founders did not want one central bank located in New York or Washington, DC, so they formed a system with 12 district banks. The second reason for the Federal Reserve System was that communication and transportation were much slower and less efficient than today. In an effort to maintain control and offer assistance to member banks, it was necessary to disperse Federal Reserve facilities across the country.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Manuscript.

Explanation:

A manuscript is a type of speech delivery in which the speaker has to read what he/she has previously written on paper.

Manuscript deliveries are usually done in public speaking settings when the information has to be delivered in a precise manner by the speaker.

The upside of manuscript deliveries is that if the speaker uses this type of speech delivery he/she won't miss any fact or a bit of information.

In this particular case, a political candidate is running for office and must give a speech that will lay out the details of her platform. The speech will be widely covered by newspapers and television. The method of delivery that the candidate is most likely to use is: Manuscript.

contributions of the Babylonians to society? Explain why each was important and how each contribution influenced change.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).

Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).
