Social Studies

Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
5 0

Steam power  originally developed slowly over a period of several hundred years until it reached to actual practical application at the beginning of the industrial  revolution. The steam engine was one of the most important technologies of the industrial revolution. It was a simple device that used boiling water to create mechanical motion to be utilized in useful work.

Early mills used water power to operate and had to be located near running water such as a river which would freeze in winter and the water was not available, also in dry spells. Flooding would also stop operations.  But by using a steam engine, a factory could be located anywhere and could operate the whole year round.

From mines to mills, steam engines found many applications in a variety of industries, improving productivity and technology such as Trevithick's high pressure engine that revolutionized transport. Steam engines found their way to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.

How did President Washington influence the American presidency
Sergeu [11.5K]

Unanimously elected twice, President Washington established many crucial presidential precedents.

George Washington helped shape the office's future role and powers, as well as set both formal and informal precedents for future presidents. Washington believed that it was necessary to strike a delicate balance between making the presidency powerful enough to function effectively in a national government, while also avoiding any image of establishing a monarchy or dictatorship. In the process, President Washington significantly influenced the path for the presidency moving forward, setting standards in all aspects, including political power, military practice, and economic policy.
