Archimedes made practical inventions which enabled the Syracusans to fend off the Roman siege. He protected the city by his inventions, for example, he invented a huge crane operated hook " the claw of Archimedes" that could be able to lift enemy ships out of the sea. Legends tell that he also invented a way to make Roman ships to catch fire by reflection and focusing of light of the sun on their ships by use of a large mirror. A combination of this and onages and ballstats on the city walls made it difficult for Romans that forced them to apply direct assault which was expensive or the Romans.

What might have happened if the National Government could only legislate based on what is specifically in the Constitution?
EastWind [94]
The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.

A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.

This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.

If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.

Answer:

Jamestown established in 1607 and Plymouth in 1620.  

Explanation:

Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in America, founded in 1607. The main reason for establishing a colony was for economic investment. In the 17th century, European countries sent settlers to the New World for generating capital for the crown. England also entered in the race to increase power and wealth by extending its empire. In 1620, a large group of women arrived in Jamestown for settlers to establish families.

In 1620, Plymouth became the first Puritan Settlement colony, established by the pilgrims. The reason for a colony was to get away from persecution and seek freedom of religion. According to the pilgrims, the Church of England practised old customs and needed to be reform, by seeing no change in the Church they separated and followed Puritanism.
