Answer:

Because it allowed the mass production of books and allowed a previously unknown level of information to be disseminated.

Explanation:

With letters and embossed symbols carved in metal. The type of mobile printing, invented by Johannes Gensfleish, known as Gutenberg, allowed the mass printing of books - which were once handwritten - beginning a revolution in Europe in the mid 1455s.

The technique was innovative, but it was not the pioneer. Since the 7th century, calendars and holy books have been printed by the Chinese - who used about 400,000 wooden carved ideograms.  But Gutenberg created tougher moving types that could be reused in other print jobs. Thus, books are no longer exclusive to nobles and clergy. By 1489, there were presses like his in Italy, France, Spain, Holland, England, and Denmark. By 1500, some 15 million books had been printed.

Think about the election of 1796, the first to involve political parties. Make a connection between that presidential election a
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the 1796 election no distinction was made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. This was corrected in the 12th Amendment in 1804. Another diference was the fact that neither Adams (Federalist) nor Jefferson (Democratic-Republic) actively campaigned for the presidency.

What makes this election rather ¨modern¨ is the fact that Federalists accused the Democratic-Republicans of French Revolution violence, who in turn accused the Federalists of favoring monarchism and aristrocracy.
