zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

What continued was the shared religon between China and India, well India mostly, of Bhuddism. Bhuddism stayed and is still a common religious practice to this day. Another thing that continued is the Egyption and chinese farming technique for fertile farmland. They both developed, egypt and ancient china near rivers and they took advantage of that. We see that today in china, where they use the yangtze river, yellow river etc. Also mesopotamia, china, and egypt both developed a language, in which china and egypt used pictograms and mesopotamia developed the first written language; cunieform. Languages are a big part of society today. What changed was the overall shape and meaning of a civilization and society, mesopotamia, because they developed the division of labor in which people had to work. It's also to note that mesopotamia invented and created many great finding and inventions, ex the wheel and how to do metal work.

Blababa [14]

One reason why the Tenth Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights was because Anti-Federalists were concerned that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government.

Explanation:

Before the United States Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government could not tax the states directly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, create and enforce laws properly, or even amend the Articles without the approval of the thirteen colonies. This led to division among the people, as some believed in the Articles of Confederation, while some wanted to change it.

Anti-Federalists supported the Articles of Confederation, they wanted a weak federal government and associated the government having power with British tyranny. Federalists opposed the Articles of Confederation, they wanted a strong federal government and felt as if having a strong government meant having a strong country.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called in order to amend the Articles. While this was the original goal, they actually ended up getting scrapped altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead, which gave power to the federal government.

The Anti-Federalists opposed the United States Constitution and felt like it was dangerous to give the government power. They demanded to have a Bill of Rights, in order to protect the citizen's rights and prevent the government from potentially abusing their power.

The Tenth Amendment was included to ensure that the government would not have too much power and that citizens still had power as well. This Amendment grants all of the powers that are not designated to go to the government, to go to the citizens and states.

Who believes in a linear view of time

vodomira [7]

I believe in modern time we’ve adapted to an linear view of time, think about it
there’s so many different ways we measure life in absurd percussion.
A stopwatch measures time up to a millisecond.

I think that level of detail is used to push humans psychology into spending their life more efficiently.

I think life can FEEL cyclical, especially when repeating the same old everyday.
7 days a week
12 months a year
365 days a year

it can get exhausting with man made concepts.

in those 12 months, we experience the SAME seasons, and holidays at the SAME time every year making our life’s less predictable and structured.

I really need to get to my point

Time must be linear
We can’t go back in time.
Things don’t break and go back together.
We age.
Hot coffee turns cold.

We’re living linear
