History

Young, light skin, female virgins were the most frequently bought slave due to their popularity among countries in the near East.

Light Skin women were seen as more beautiful and virgins were thought to be more 'pure'

These young women would first work in the households of rich people. If they were popular they would become a concubine and in many cases eventually a wife of their master.

Does the constitution tell us what goals the government should serve
FrozenT [24]
Yes, the United States Constitution states that a "We The People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain<span> and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

It also states that "</span>The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican<span> Form of Government" 
</span>
However, this shouldn't be confused with the purpose of government, which is written in John Locke's Second Treatise of Government but is also stated in the Declaration of Independence. "<span>That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"
</span>
To make clear the difference and avoid confusion Constitution states WHAT the government's goals are and the Declaration of Independence states WHY the government is there in the first place.

Dmitry [639]
The position of Speaker of the House of representatives immediately follows the position of the Vice President, because he is the 2nd in order in the presidency line, right after the Vice President. After him, the next in line is a temporary president appointed by the Senate. This situation is in accordance with what the framers intended because after the Vice President choice (which means that he is appointed by the President), the next choice is selected by the representatives of the people in the lower chamber of the Congress.

What transportation was probably most useful to the early greeks?
attashe74 [19]
Ships

Greece is a peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea, so travel by boats or ships along the seacoast was most advantageous.   In history generally before the Industrial Revolution, travel by boat or ship was always an easier mode of travel than travel over land.  This is why rivers became such important means of travel to civilizations also.
