<span>The Constitution set down the idea that the government was to be divided into branches that would be voted upon by the constituencies in the area (at least, in the case of the legislatures). In addition, it held for courts to be created that would rule upon the laws created and passed by the other two branches. Third, it added the idea of an elected executive, in comparison to the systems found in other areas of the world, which mostly had appointed leaders or leaders by divine right.</span>

Gelneren [198K]

The stock market crash of 1929 was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, but it did act to accelerate the global economic collapse of which it was also a symptom. By 1933, nearly half of America's banks had failed, and unemployment was approaching 15 million people, or 30 percent of the workforce.

“Fire and water are not more heterogeneous than the different colonies in North America.” Explain the meaning of this phrase.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The phrase implies a comparison between two natural materials as different as water and fire, referring to the fact that this difference is similar to the differences between the different British colonies in America.

Thus, for example, the New England colonies were clearly influenced by Puritanism and political conservatism, while others such as Maryland had a clear Catholic influence and a more open mind regarding other religions, cultures and nationalities. Also, while in the north some manufactured goods such as ships were produced, in the south of the country the main industry was agriculture.
