Answer:

A. The government functioned as a single body of law in ancient Rome and E. ancient roman male citizens were required to serve in the military is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The people of Ancient Rome established the republic after overthrowing the last Etruscan king while the American people founded the republic after the American Revolution. Both Americans and Romans set up a government which is ruled by the people and for the people and both the systems are republic.

In republic, the head of the government is elected by the people and they elect their representatives for making laws. There are both similarities and dissimilarities between the ancient Roman republic and the government of US, both of them have executive and legislative branches in their government along with set of checks and balances. The head of the executive was the head of the military in both the governments, Executive also had the veto power and both governments had written laws.

<u><em>The differences</em></u> were that the Roman republic didn’t had a separate Judicial branch and the Rome was run by more than one consuls while the US has only one president. There was a provision for the dictator to take over the government in emergency situations but there is no such concept in US. The consuls also had religious duties while there it isn’t so in US. The slave labor was used In Roman republic while slavery has been outlawed in US. The Roman senators served for life while US senators serve only for six years. Roman women were not allowed to participate in government while they can do so in US. The roman social class was rigid in nature while the US social class  is flexible.

Why would the US want to leave Vietnam rather than securing total victory ?
valkas [14]

Answer:

By the late 1960s, US political and military leaders got convinced they could not win the war by any means. The war would extend indefinitely - an unacceptable option - and the Communist North Vietnamese were determined to resist as long as it was necessary, despite the horrendous suffering and destruction; actually this is what the Vietnamese have done throughout their history against foreign occupiers since ancient times.  The exorbitant financial cost of the war was also a major headache for the government.  And there were the rising numbers of American casualties, a fact that was politically negative. Another major factor was the powerful peace movement in the USA, many people were opposed to the continuation of the war, social support for US involvement in Southeast Asia wasn´t strong. The US could not win that war.

Which statement is not true about the Compromise of 1850?
Rudiy27

<em>D. The slave trade was banned in Washington, D.C.</em>

Explanation:

After the Mexican-American War ended, the United States had a lot more territory to deal with. Slavery was always a huge debate during this time, but now that there were more territories, people started to get nervous about how the new territories would be split up into free and slave states.

The Compromise of 1850 were laws and compromises that set the field for the slavery situation in the new territories. These laws tried to be as fair and unbiased as possible, since slavery was controversial during this time.

With these laws, California was now a free state, the slave trade was now prohibited in Washington, D.C, and Texas lost New Mexico, but got money from the government in the process.
