Base your answer to the following question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. After the Aswan High Dam w

as built on the Nile River, the rate of parasitic blood-fluke infection doubled in the human population near the dam. As a result of building the dam, the flow of the Nile changed. This changed the habitat, which resulted in an increase in its population of a certain aquatic snail. The snails, which were infected, released larvae of the fluke. These larvae then infected humans. This situation best illustrates that (1) the influence of humans on a natural system is always negative in the long term (2) the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts (3) human alteration of an ecosystem does not need to be studied to avoid ecological disaster (4) human alteration of an ecosystem will cause pollution and loss of finite resources

Answer:

(2) the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts

Explanation:

According to the text, parasitic blood-fluke infection increased after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Thus, the flow of the river changed, affecting the habitat of the aquatic snail that produces the larvae. As a result, the impact of humans can have negative consequences in the environment.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the text does not suggest that human influence is always negative, nor that it causes pollution or loss of finite resources. Finally, the paragraph does not mention either that human alterations should not be studied.

Paraphrase Madison’s premise in these lines. Why is this a premise and not a claim? The Federalist No
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Summary

Madison begins perhaps the most famous of the Federalist papers by stating that one of the strongest arguments in favor of the Constitution is the fact that it establishes a government capable of controlling the violence and damage caused by factions. Madison defines factions as groups of people who gather together to protect and promote their special economic interests and political opinions. Although these factions are at odds with each other, they frequently work against the public interest, and infringe upon the rights of others.

Both supporters and opponents of the plan are concerned with the political instability produced by rival factions. The state governments have not succeeded in solving this problem; in fact, the situation is so problematic that people are disillusioned with all politicians and blame government for their problems. Consequently, a form of popular government that can deal successfully with this problem has a great deal to recommend it.

Given the nature of man, factions are inevitable. As long as men hold different opinions, have different amounts of wealth, and own different amount of property, they will continue to fraternize with people who are most similar to them. Both serious and trivial reasons account for the formation of factions but the most important source of faction is the unequal distribution of property. Men of greater ability and talent tend to possess more property than those of lesser ability, and since the first object of government is to protect and encourage ability, it follows that the rights of property owners must be protected. Property is divided unequally, and, in addition, there are many different kinds of property. and men have different interests depending upon the kind of property they own. For example, the interests of landowners differ from those who own businesses. Government must not only protect the conflicting interests of property owners but must, at the same time, successfully regulate the conflicts between those with and without property.

To Madison, there are only two ways to control a faction: to remove its causes and to control its effects. The first is impossible. There are only two ways to remove the causes of a faction: destroy liberty or give every citizen the same opinions, passions, and interests. Destroying liberty is a "cure worse then the disease itself," and the second is impracticable. The causes of factions are thus part of the nature of man and we must deal with their effects and accept their existence. The government created by the Constitution controls the damage caused by such factions.

The framers established a representative form of government, a government in which the many elect the few who govern. Pure or direct democracies (countries in which all the citizens participate directly in making the laws) cannot possibly control factious conflicts. This is because the strongest and largest faction dominates, and there is no way to protect weak factions against the actions of an obnoxious individual or a strong majority. Direct democracies cannot effectively protect personal and property rights and have always been characterized by conflict.

If the new plan of government is adopted, Madison hopes that the men elected to office will be wise and good men,­ the best of America. Theoretically, those who govern should be the least likely to sacrifice the public good to temporary condition, but the opposite might happen. Men who are members of particular factions, or who have prejudices or evil motives might manage, by intrigue or corruption, to win elections and then betray the interests of the people. However, the possibility of this happening in a large country, such as the United States, is greatly reduced. The likelihood that public office will be held by qualified men is greater in large countries because there will be more representatives chosen by a greater number of citizens. This makes it more difficult for the candidates to deceive the people. Representative government is needed in large countries, not to protect the people from the tyranny of the few, but to guard against the rule of the mob.

Which of these topics would be too broad for writing a two-page report?
lbvjy [14]

The topic that will be too broad for a two-page report is;

  • The Bible

The Bible is a topic that will be too broad for a two-page report. This is because there are several schools of thought and understandings of what The Bible is, its credibility, its history, and survival over the years.

Any person writing about the Bible will have to make a lot of research to obtain facts and historical records of it.

Two pages might not be enough to contain it.
