Answer:

Social Contribution: The social hierarchy of the Incas was broken down into four different groups. These groups included the Sapa Inca, who was the emperor at the top of the hierarchy. He owned and controlled everything in the Inca empire and was believed to be related to the sun god. Next came the royal family, which included the queen and relatives of the Sapa Inca. Third was the nobility, which included distant relatives of the royal family or the highly educated, and last was the ayllu which included everyone else. Because the Sapa Inca owned and controlled everything, no trading outside the Inca empire was necessary. Everything needing to be done in the empire was completed through ‘tributes' or free labor from everyone from the ages of fifteen through fifty.

Political Contribution: There were about 20 million people living in

the Inca Empire at its peak in the 1400s. Its capital city was Cuzco,

which is located in what know today as Peru. Cuzco was located at

the point where each of the empire’s four districts came together.

Each district was governed by someone from emperor’s family. Over

time, several emperors conquered more territory and the

government was set up for all people to pay taxes or ‘tributes’ to

make sure the military or any social needs like roads were managed

through free labor for the empire.

Religious Contribution: The Incas worshipped many gods and believed that

their principal god, Viracocha, created all life. Each god also represented

something in nature such as Inti, the sun god, who they thought was the most

powerful god. The Inca people also respected their ancestors by mummifying

them. Crops and pieces and cloth were sometimes burned as offerings and

llamas were sacrificed to the Gods, but they didn’t practice human sacrifice

except when there was a major crisis.

Intellectual Contribution: While the Incas did

not use written language, they did use a complex math and

communication system of colored ropes called quipu. Not many

people could read the quipu strings, but they were a very

effective way of both math and communicating across the

empire. The Incas also used coca plant leaves as a powerful drug

in medicine.

Technological Contribution: The Incas used very advanced forms

of terracing to farm in the high hills. They were excellent stone workers and could build walls of

stone for the terraces that did not require any mortar. The Incas

were very skilled metalworkers. They worked with copper, tin,

bronze, silver, and gold which they also learned to blend

together to form metal alloys which could then be made into

weapons and tools.

Economical Contribution: Macchu Picchu was built high in the

mountains and was able to survive earthquakes because of the

excellent stonework. The Incan Empire was very spread out and

the geography varied widely so the Incas to create a huge

system of 14,000 miles of roads through mountains and

deserts. All roads led through the capital city of Cuzco. These

roads greatly helped their economy because they used them to

communicate, move their armies to conquer neighbors, and

move supplies around where and when they were needed. The

Incas even built rope bridges across deep rivers, cut steps into

steep slopes, and tunnels through mountains. Economic growth

would never have been possible without them.

What are some Modern laws that are meant to promote religious freedom and tolerance
goldfiish [28.3K]

Laws related to religion and morality

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Two caveats:

Don't try to change your religion in some counries. Some countries that have a state religion have laws making you eligible to be executed by the government after a trial, or by your family in an honor killing if you change your religion from the official belief system.

Don't try to manifest your religious beliefs in practice if it includes the need to discriminate against or to denigrate others. There may be human rights legislation in place that make such treatment a crime.

Which branch of government collects taxes?
dalvyx [7]

Answer: congress is the branch that collects taxes, and executive makes a state of the union address each year

Explanation: i figured that your first answer was congress because as you look into each branch of government one says:  Congress has the power to collect taxes, print money and regulate its value, punish counterfeiters, establish post offices, create roads, grant patents, create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, combat piracy, declare war, raise armies, create a navy. which gives you all the evidence to state that congress is correct.  And for your second question the answer is executive because as the branch address that  The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.      

I hope this helped^
