The correct answer is A) People were willing to borrow money to buy products instead of saving for them.

During the 1920's, Americans  ability to buy products on credit or on margin, allowed  access to luxury goods they didn't have the ability to purchase before this time. This ability to borrow money from banks allowed millions of Americans to buy things like stocks with only a small portion down. This ultimately helped lead to the Great Depression of the 1930's, as the Stock Market Crash of 1929 lead to the banrkupting of millions of American citizens.

What was Patrick Henry’s reaction to the Stamp Act?
puteri [66]

Patrick Henry, at a meeting of the Virginia House of Burgesses, proposed seven resolutions against the Stamp Act. The first four resolutions were adopted and passed by the House of Burgesses. The Fifth resolution was repealed on the second day of the debates. Though resolutions six and seven were never passed by the House, all seven were widely reported in the colonial press, giving the impression that all passed the Virginia Assembly.

The following four resolves were adopted by the House of Burgesses on May 30, 1765:

Resolved, that the first adventurers and settlers of His Majesty's colony and dominion of Virginia brought with them and transmitted to their posterity, and all other His Majesty's subjects since inhabiting in this His Majesty's said colony, all the liberties, privileges, franchises, and immunities that have at any time been held, enjoyed, and possessed by the people of Great Britain.

Resolved, that by two royal charters, granted by King James I, the colonists aforesaid are declared entitled to all liberties, privileges, and immunities of denizens and natural subjects to all intents and purposes as if they had been abiding and born within the Realm of England.

Resolved, that the taxation of the people by themselves, or by persons chosen by themselves to represent them, who can only know what taxes the people are able to bear, or the easiest method of raising them, and must themselves be affected by every tax laid on the people, is the only security against a burdensome taxation, and the distinguishing characteristic of British freedom, without which the ancient constitution cannot exist.

Resolved, that His Majesty's liege people of this his most ancient and loyal colony have without interruption enjoyed the inestimable right of being governed by such laws, respecting their internal policy and taxation, as are derived from their own consent, with the approbation of their sovereign, or his substitute; and that the same has never been forfeited or yielded up, but has been constantly recognized by the kings and people of Great Britain.

<span>The following version of the much-debated fifth resolution (which was not adopted) was found with Patrick Henry's will:</span>

Resolved, therefor that the General Assembly of this Colony have the only and exclusive Right and Power to lay Taxes and Impositions upon the inhabitants of this Colony and that every Attempt to vest such Power in any person or persons whatsoever other than the General Assembly aforesaid has a manifest Tendency to destroy British as well as American Freedom.

<span>The following two resolutions were not</span> passed by the Virginia Assembly, but were reported in several newspapers:

Resolved, That His Majesty's liege people, the inhabitants of this Colony, are not bound to yield obedience to any law or ordinance whatever, designed to impose any taxation whatsoever upon them, other than the laws or ordinances of the General Assembly aforesaid.

Resolved, That any person who shall, by speaking or writing, assert or maintain that any person or persons other than the General Assembly of this Colony, have any right or power to impose or lay any taxation on the people here, shall be deemed an enemy to His Majesty's Colony.

In at least two paragraphs, discuss whether you believe the framers of the U.S. Constitution created a democracy.
kipiarov [429]
<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
 
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>

How was society in Ancient India organized?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Society in Ancient India was organized in four classes known as <em>varnas</em>.

Explanation:

The Vedas (important sacred texts) divided Ancient India into the following four <em>varnas</em>:

<u>Brahmin</u> - Teachers, spiritual advisors, and priests. They gathered knowledge and shared it with others.

<u>Kshatriya</u> - Rulers and warriors of society. Their job was to protect others and keep peace.

<u>Vaishya</u> - Traders, skilled artisans, and farmers.

<u>Shudra</u> - Laborers and servants.

Anyone could change ranks if they wanted to. (A <u>shudra</u> could become a <u>brahmin</u>, etc.).

I hope it helps you!
