History
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]3 years ago

The answer is Descartes. 

Descartes, a 17th century French philosopher, proposed the idea of the "evil demon" or "malicious demon" to explore the idea that if there exists a being advanced enough, and beyond the realm of human understanding, he could create a completely false world for us to occupy. Therefore, humanity should reasonably doubt the reality everything we experience.
This is especially true if we subscribe to the idea of beings as powerful as the one described, which virtually everyone at the time did (God).

What were three weaknesses of the Articles of confederation
NemiM [27]
Answer is

The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts. 

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses. Three notable weaknesses include the national government's lack of power to tax, the absence of national army or navy and the ability of each state to issue their own paper money.

How was Patrick Henry involved in the American Revolution?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

He was a gifted orator and major figure in the American Revolution. His rousing speeches—which included a 1775 speech to the Virginia legislature in which he famously declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!”—fired up America's fight for independence

An active participant in many key events in the Revolutionary War, Lee protested the Stamp Act in Virginia (1765), sat on the committee that named George Washington Commander-in-Chief of the Continental army (1775), and introduced the motion that led to the Declaration of Independence (1776).
