Answer:

State Constitutions Significant when the U.S. Constitution was written because states had their own constitution way back before the U.S. Constitution was even written.

Explanation:

The States or Colonies had their own written documented Constitution way back since the American Constitution was even written.

A total of about 150 Constitution States have written  Since the Declaration of Independence, with several states writing new Constitutions frequently.

State Constitutions include the Role, Structure, financing of state and local level government.

<span>The </span>Constitution of the United States<span> is the </span>supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles entrench the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Articles Four, Five, and Six entrench concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments and of the states in relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it.

How did Nazi Germany finance itself during WW2?
Novay_Z [31]
The Nazis confiscated the money and possession of the people it conquered, and it also confiscated the possessions of its own Jewish citizens : this contributed greatly to their wealth. 

Before the war they motivated the whole country to work for the country: so people worked a lot rather than focused on their private life - this means that the unemployment was low but also the cost of work was not too high. They also invested a lot into the infrastructure with borrowed money (budget deficit).

The american republic
The Founding Fathers of the US borrowed some of the elements of government from Rome, but they developed and added a few innovations. Unlike Rome, checks and balances came from the workings of three areas of government: a President, who was responsible for the jobs of Commander in Chief of the military, would appoint ambassadors to take care of foreign policy, and could propose laws to the Legislative Branch; the Legislative Branch, including both a Senate, whose members are elected for six year terms, and a House of Representatives, whose members are elected for two year terms. Both houses need to agree on a law before it is sent to the President for signature. Finally, they created an independent Judiciary known as the Supreme Court whose job it was to ensure that laws passed by the Legislature were consistent with the U.S. Constitution.


The Roman government, though was advanced for its time, it was was overcome with corruption and instability. The Senate would usually have more power over the Executive branch and there was very little to no independence among the branches of government, which tended to be heavily influenced by dominant political faction. The United States distributes its power evenly. Because each state has both local and national representatives, it helps promote the interests of the people in a way that Roman government did not. The American Republic is a lot more evolved and refined then that of Ancient Rome.

What was an important provision of the Treaty of Paris?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: C.

Explanation:

C would be the correct answer because the main clauses of the Treaty of Paris granted all nations access to the Mississippi River, established the borders of the United States, called for the British surrender of all posts within the territories of the United States, demanded payment of all debts accrued previous to the war, and an end to all retaliatory action against the United States.

* Hopefully this helps:)
