George Mason contributed to the United States Constitution by becoming the chief supporter of the Bill of Rights.
Mason was a delegate to the<em> US Constitutional Convention</em> of 1787. However, at that time, he refused to sign the Constitution alleging the inexistence of the <em>Bill of Rights</em> and objecting the slave trade for navigation acts. Finally, he succeeded to introduce the draft that will served as the basis of <em>the United States Bill of Rights</em> during the First Congress in 1789.
The correct answer among the choices given is B) German Jews
Hitler believed, if you were a German Jew, you are not fully German.
For the answer to the question above, millions of peasants came into the towns or worked in rural factories and mines. In the last half-century of the old regime, the Empire's urban population grew from 7 to 28 million people. Factory conditions were terrible. T<span>he worker 'raised on the frugal habits of rural life' was 'much more easily satisfied' than his counterpart in Europe or North America, so that 'low wages appeared as a fortunate gift to Russian enterprise'. </span><span>Shopfloors were crammed with dangerous machinery. There were frequent accidents. Yet most workers were denied a legal right to insurance and, if they lost an eye or limb, could expect no more than a few roubles' compensation.</span>
Answer:
- Austria-Hungary was responding to a direct attack against members of its royal family. Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by terrorists in Sarajevo, Serbia. Austria-Hungary held Serbia responsible.
- Russia mobilized troops in keeping with an alliance it had with Serbia, offering them protection against the threatened military action by Austria-Hungary.
More details:
Various systems of alliances were put in place before World War I. The two main alliance systems were the Triple Entente, which had Britain, France and Russia as allies, and the Triple Alliance, which had Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy as allies. There were also other alliances, such as Russia taking on recently independent Serbia as an ally, as both had ethnic Slavic populations.
So here's how the start of World War I happened. When the Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian government threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented a military plan (the Schlieffen Plan), which assumed war would mean they'd have to take on all members of the Triple Entente alliance. So as soon as Germany declared war on Russia, they sent troops to go attack France. That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.
General George Patton led the decoy army on D-Day. The decoy army mostly consisted of fake, inflatable tanks.
