History
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
5 0
Rene Descartes is frequently considered the first modern philosopher. His first publication, Discourse on Method (1637), was the touchstone of the scientific method. A response to the lack of clarity he saw in the world of science, Discourse describes how scientific study should be prosecuted so as to achieve the utmost clarity, by using deductive reasoning to test hypotheses. Descartes explained that the test of an alleged truth is the clarity with which it may be apprehended, or proven. "I think, therefore I am," (cogito ergo sum) is Descartes' famous example of the most clearly apprehended truth. In effect, the evidence of thought proves the hypothesis of existence.

How did the U.S. Constitution solve a problem created by the Articles of Confederation?
docker41 [41]

Option A, it allowed for government to enforce laws and settle disputes is the right answer.

The colonies of the United States did not want to have a strong centralized government, because they did not want the government to become a tyranny. Hence, they did not even provide the national government with some very significant powers such as the power of issuing money, imposing taxes, enforcing laws etc.

Constitution fixed this problem by giving more power to the Federal government. The new government adopted the system of checks and Balances.This system was developed by the framers of the constitution to prevent the actions of the other branches from becoming powerful. Hence, all the three branches ( the Legislative, the Executive and the Judicially) of the system are induced to share power.

A citizen would be most likely to get reliable political news from which website?
Lemur [1.5K]
This depends on the system, the kind of information they need, etc...

In the most democratic countries, government sites might prove most reliable. In other, independent journalists might be better. In a way, it's almost impossible to be sure your information isn't biased.... the best is if you know who wrote it and what their agenda is: if they news is left-wing and what they report is not very left-wing, then it's perhaps reliable.
