This noble city contains many fine and magnificent houses; which may be accounted for from the fact, that all the nobility of th

e country, who are the vassals of Moctezuma, have houses in the city, in which they reside a certain part of the year; and besides, there are numerous wealthy citizens who also possess fine houses. All these persons, in addition to the large and spacious apartments for ordinary purposes, have others, both upper and lower, that contain conservatories of flowers. Along one of the causeways that lead into the city are laid two pipes, constructed of masonry, each of which is two paces in width, and about five feet in height. An abundant supply of excellent water, forming a volume equal in bulk to the human body, is conveyed by one of these pipes, and distributed about the city, where it is used by the inhabitants for drinking and other purposes. The other pipe, in the meantime, is kept empty until the former requires to be cleansed, when the water is let into it and continues to be used till the cleansing is finished. As the water is necessarily carried over bridges on account of the salt water crossing its route, reservoirs resembling canals are constructed on the bridges, through which the fresh water is conveyed. These reservoirs are of the breadth of the body of an ox, and of the same length as the bridges. The whole city is thus served with water, which they carry in canoes through all the streets for sale, taking it from the aqueduct in the following manner: the canoes pass under the bridges on which the reservoirs are placed, when men stationed above fill them with water, for which service they are paid.

Are the founding documents still revenant to Americans today? Why or why not?
Allisa [31]

The correct answer is yes.

<em>The founding documents are </em><u><em>relevant</em></u><em> to America today. </em>

The founding documents of Independence are completely relevant for the Americans of today. Despite the differences of opinion, the division that political parties could create or the indifference of some sectors of the population, the founding documents are the core of the nation.

Those documents contain the principles under the United States were built. America is a powerful nation because of the values and declarations contained in the founding documents.  

For instance, “the unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. This is the foundation of the country. Or that “men were created equal”, is a basic principle of human and civil rights.  

American citizens should never forget that these founding documents are the pillars of this nation. Today, more than never, these principles must be followed and respect to keep the peace, stability and the growth of the U.S.

Was expanding their empire worth it to the Romans? I NEED HELP!!!
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

It is perhaps surprising to learn that the Roman Empire is only around the 28th largest in history. It punches above its weight in terms of influence. Its sheer physical size shouldn’t be underestimated, however. It grew to around 1.93 million square miles, containing about 21 per cent of the world’s population (by an estimate) at its greatest extent in the early second century.
