Because they believed in majority rule. They felt that the majority of the people’s approval was enough.

Plus, it was much easier for all 13 former colonies to accept the Articles of Confederation than the Constitution because it basically just handed the states governmental power and told them to cooperate with all of the other states. The Constitution, however, sought to take away some of the powers they had received such as the ability to regulate their own taxes. Understandably, it would be much more difficult to get a unanimous vote for for the Constitution due to this so the 9/13 rule seemed more reasonable.

(even though the Constitution ultimately ended up getting ratified unanimously)

What was the main topic of discussion in the cabinet meeting?
Digiron [165]

Answer: In other words, it was a normal cabinet meeting in the age of Trump. What was once considered a dry policy discussion among restrained public servants has turned into a kind of West Wing performance art, featuring a president prone to exaggeration and his advisers taking turns praising him and his policies.

Why do scientists think that the Voynich Manuscript has six chapters or sections?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Although the Voynich Manuscript is not divided into chapters or even sections, scholars believe the book is divided into six parts: herbal, astronomical, biological, cosmological, pharmaceutical and prescriptions. The manuscript may be of a magical or scientific nature.

Explanation:

Illustrations are conventionally used to divide most manuscripts into six different sections because the text itself cannot be read and no one has ever been able to read it, and the illustrations present six different topics, and so the book is thought to be divided into 6 chapters: <em>botany, astronomical charts, naked female figures in tubs, cosmos, use of plants, and unexplored text that it cosidered to represent food recipes.</em>

Refer to the two maps.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

I want to say the third answer.

Explanation:

We see in the map that the trade routes go from the European area to the China area.

It can't be A since we see that the routes go along the border of India, so it can't be both India and the Middle East.

I don't think it can be B because we don't see as much empires made by European forces in Africa, and these empires weren't competing with the Mongols, since the Mongols could easily take over their empires.

It can't be D since we don't see the trade routes go through the ocean to the far east, and the silk road never made it to North America and South America.
