What role did the emerging political parties (the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans) play in the growth of the United State
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:Though the Revolution had overthrown British rule in the United States, supporters of the 1787 federal constitution, known as Federalists, adhered to a decidedly British notion of social hierarchy. The Federalists did not, at first, compose a political party. Instead, Federalists held certain shared assumptions. For them, political participation continued to be linked to property rights, which barred many citizens from voting or holding office. Federalists did not believe the Revolution had changed the traditional social roles between women and men, or between whites and other races. They did believe in clear distinctions in rank and intelligence. To these supporters of the Constitution, the idea that all were equal appeared ludicrous. Women, blacks, and native peoples, they argued, had to know their place as secondary to white male citizens. Attempts to impose equality, they feared, would destroy the republic. The United States was not created to be a democracy.

The architects of the Constitution committed themselves to leading the new republic, and they held a majority among the members of the new national government. Indeed, as expected, many assumed the new executive posts the first Congress created. Washington appointed Alexander Hamilton, a leading Federalist, as secretary of the treasury. For secretary of state, he chose Thomas Jefferson. For secretary of war, he appointed Henry Knox, who had served with him during the Revolutionary War. Edmond Randolph, a Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention, was named attorney general. In July 1789, Congress also passed the Judiciary Act, creating a Supreme Court of six justices headed by those who were committed to the new national government.

Congress passed its first major piece of legislation by placing a duty on imports under the 1789 Tariff Act. Intended to raise revenue to address the country’s economic problems, the act was a victory for nationalists, who favored a robust, powerful federal government and had worked unsuccessfully for similar measures during the Confederation Congress in the 1780s. Congress also placed a fifty-cent-per-ton duty (based on materials transported, not the weight of a ship) on foreign ships coming into American ports, a move designed to give the commercial advantage to American ships and goods.

satela [25.4K]

The correct answer is A. The Great Schism or the East-West Schism represented the final separation between the Eastern Christian churches (whose leader was Michael Cerularius, the <u><em>patriarch of Constantinople</em></u>) and the Western one whose leader was Leo IX. There were excommunications that ended in 1965, when Pope <em>Paul VI</em> and <em>Athenagoras I</em> revoked the excommunications decrees.

Why is it so important that all citizens feel enfranchised in their own country
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: It embodies the concept of the Hallmark of Democracy

Explanation:

Enfranchisement refers to the right of citizens to vote for their own leaders and representatives. This is in line with the Hallmark of Democracy which means that citizens should be able to participate in the running of their own affairs by picking people who represent their interests.

All eligible citizens should have this right to enfranchisement because they have the right to have a say in how they should be governed as this goes in line with the concepts of freedom and liberty which every human should be entitled to.

If citizens do not feel as though they have this right, they will avoid taking part in government which would have the effect of the Government lacking the support of the people and for a Government to function, they need the people.

Why was Carnegie Steel able to offer its product more cheaply than its competitors?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Compared to its rivals, Carnegie Steel is able to offer its goods for less money. Because he controlled the raw material supply, the means of manufacturing, and the channels of distribution, Carnegie was able to reduce expenses.

<h3>What cost-cutting measures took Carnegie?</h3>

He promoted bonds and made investments in oil and railroad sleeper carriages, but iron production was his main line of work. He relentlessly adopted practices that reduced per-unit costs, introduced the railroad industry's cost-accounting methods, and hired skilled chemists.

Because he controlled the raw material supply, the means of manufacturing, and the channels of distribution. Because Carnegie produced a subpar item, production costs were lower.

Hence choice 2nd is correct.
