The correct answer is: Consumers buying goods on credit.

The growth of prosperity of the United States in the 1920s led to the development of American Consumerism in the period also known as the <em>Roaring Twenties</em>, due to technical advances and fresh ideas in the communication, transportation, and manufacturing areas. Americans advanced from the conventional avoidance of debt, to the concept of buying goods on credit with partial payments, or credit installments. President Harding's economic policies during the 1920s contributed to the rise of consumerism; manufacturers also encouraged consumerism by offering a greater variety of goods at fair prices. Advertising and marketing abilities via the 1920s newspapers and the radio saw a huge increase in sales by means of consumer credit.

American Consumerism in the 1920s led to the obsession with the purchase of consumer goods. Much of the Consumer Society was raised on easy consumer credit. American who were once prudent bought most of their more highly-priced goods on the installment plan, paying some money at first and then paying monthly payments for one to five years. Easy credit via installment plans saw a huge increase in consumer condition of owing money, together with a significant decline in consumer savings.

For most of the 1920s, the growth of credit affected the stock market because investors, also, bought more stock on margin causing the stock market to arose. During the 1920s more people began to acquire shares of stock using credit. A problem for the people who bought stock on credit was that if the stock market collapsed they would owe more than they could repay. The excess of the 1920s and the Consumer Society ended unexpectedly with the 1929 Wall Street Crash; this crash led to the downfall of many Americans and was followed by the Great Depression, which witnesses the end of consumerism in the 1920s.

Answer:

In this painting called 'The Triumph of Marat', Marat is being carried by the people, the scene shows the people in a jubilant mood, celebrating the acquittal of Marat by the Revolution tribunal.

Marat's radical views and the zeal he voiced them with made him very popular among the lower classes within Paris and in the provinces.

A painting like this would have likely produced a mixed reaction from viewers in the salon, because of what a controversial figure Marat was.

Explanation:

Jean Paul Marat was French political theorist who was an advocate of extreme revolutionary views and measures. He was a prominent figure in the French Revolution, and was very popular with the lower classes of Paris.

The painting in figure 16 in chapter 1 of the NCERT titled 'The triumph of Marat' depicts him being carried jubilantly by the people after he was acquitted by the Revolutionary tribunal.

This painting would have produced mixed reactions from the viewers in the salon because Marat was such a controversial figure, and paintings of him at the time were mostly showing the scene of his assassination. But this painting showed him in a positive light.

After overthrowing a monarch the Romans established a form of government called a republic which which of these statements descr
andre [41]

The Roman Republic (Latin: Res publica Romana; Classical Latin: [ˈreːs ˈpuːb.lɪ.ka roːˈmaː.na]) was the era of ancient Roman civilization beginning with the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom, traditionally dated to 509 BC, and ending in 27 BC with the establishment of the Roman Empire. It was during this period that Rome's control expanded from the city's immediate surroundings to hegemony over the entire Mediterranean world.

During the first two centuries of its existence, the Roman Republic expanded through a combination of conquest and alliance, from central Italy to the entire Italian peninsula. By the following century, it included North Africa, most of the Iberian Peninsula, and what is now southern France. Two centuries after that, towards the end of the 1st century BC, it included the rest of modern France, Greece, and much of the eastern Mediterranean. By this time, internal tensions led to a series of civil wars, culminating with the assassination of Julius Caesar, which led to the transition from republic to empire.

The exact date of transition can be a matter of interpretation. Historians have variously proposed Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon River in 49 BC, Caesar's appointment as dictator for life in 44 BC, and the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. However, most use the same date as did the ancient Romans themselves, the Roman Senate's grant of extraordinary powers to Octavian and his adopting the title Augustus in 27 BC, as the defining event ending the Republic.

Roman government was headed by two consuls, elected annually by the citizens and advised by a senate composed of appointed magistrates. As Roman society was very hierarchical by modern standards, the evolution of the Roman government was heavily influenced by the struggle between the patricians, Rome's land-holding aristocracy, who traced their ancestry to the founding of Rome, and the plebeians, the far more numerous citizen-commoners. Over time, the laws that gave patricians exclusive rights to Rome's highest offices were repealed or weakened, and leading plebeian families became full members of the aristocracy. The leaders of the Republic developed a strong tradition and morality requiring public service and patronage in peace and war, making military and political success inextricably linked. Many of Rome's legal and legislative structures (later codified into the Justinian Code, and again into the Napoleonic Code) can still be observed throughout Europe and much of the world in modern nation states and international organizations.
