Such postulate is totally true. The Writs of Assistance were legal orders, usually approached to the receiver by a law enforcement official. Historically, the Writs were used by the English Parlament, in order to battle off the smuggling activity taken place in any civil society under the United Kingdom’s domain. In the case of the United States, the Writs were used during the American Revolution (logically, from the colonizing U.K.).

What are some potential benefits and potential costs of total war, and do the potential benefits ever outweigh the costs ?
dimaraw [331]

The concept of "total war" refers to a type of armed conflict that is bound by no rules or limitations in terms of who is being attacked, the weapons that are used or the elements of society that will be sacrificed to win it.

Engaging in this type of war can have some benefits, such as:

  • There is no need for the government to define its objectives clearly.
  • Because of it, there is no accountability between the government and its citizens, which gives them free reign of action.
  • Countries with a strong military can use their full power.

However, the costs far outweigh the benefits:

  • Increased cost of human lives, from all parties involved.
  • The destruction of all civil society.
  • Because civil society is so disrupted, government institutions are likely to collapse as well.
  • Extremely difficult recovery process, both politically as economically.
  • Complete depletion of the country's resources.
  • Violation of human rights and the laws of just war.
  • Closes the door to any peaceful solution.

There is rarely, if ever, a situation in which a total war provides benefits that would outweigh the costs of it, or that would not be achieved through some other means.

It dried up.

North Africa used to be a fertile grassland, even swampy in some spots, 12,000 years ago. By 1000 BC (actually quite a while before) it had dried up into what is the the largest desert i the world: the Sahara.

Coastal areas that are near warm ocean currents are more likely to experience which of following effects?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Coastal areas that are near warm ocean currents will experience large scale wind currents directly affected by the wind. This is because warm ocean currents are less dense than cold ocean currents and you may feel a lot of wind around. Also, the Coriolis effect plays a major role.
