Answer:

the women

Explanation:

The Iroquois societies were unique among the North American civilizations in that the role of the women was much different. The women were held on high regard. They were well respected in the society. The Clan Mothers were the ones that had the power to appoint leader, as well as to strip the leader off its power. The women had their own possessions, and even after marriage they were keeping them, not being mixed with those of their husbands. The largest land owners were women. In general the Iroquois societies were matriarchal.

Explain how the Framers of the Constitution divided American government to create a democracy. a) Describe and give examples of
Artist 52 [7]
T<span>he Framers of the Constitution divided American government into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This created a better democracy because the power is not concentrated within one branch or in the hands of a few. 

The systems in </span><span>place that protect against one branch having too much power is called "separation of powers" and "checks and balances." This system keeps each branch from getting too powerful by limiting its powers. For example, the legislative branch can pass a law but the president veto it. That's a way the executive branch checks the legislative. And let's say the legislature really wants to pass that law, so they vote on it. With 2/3 majority of votes for the law, Congress can override the president's veto. That's a way the legislative branch checks on the executive. And let's say that although that law was passed by the legislature, some say that it's unconstitutional. If that happens, then the judicial branch checks out the law and can declare it unconstitutional. If it's declared unconstitutional, then the law will be no longer enforced or valid. That's a way the judicial branch checks the other branches. 

Other examples of "checks and balances" is how the president is in charge of the armed forces, but only Congress can declare war. The judicial branch interprets laws and their constitutionality, but the president appoint the federal judges. The president appoints the federal judges, but the legislative branch has to approve those officials. The legislative branch also decides how many judges would be in the Supreme Court. The president can veto and the judicial can repeal laws, but the legislature can impeach the president and federal judges/officials. 

These systems are important to American democracy because they keep the government from getting too powerful and oppressing the people. </span>

In which sentence does the narrator first realize that there is an opportunity for him as a tour guide? Answer choices for the a
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is sentence D)

Explanation:

the last sentence portrays an audience who had yet to visit Dharavi and who had a wrong idea about how it looked and what it was like.

The sentence reads "<u>I could see</u> that they all thought Dharavi was spectacular to look at..."

So it's safe to say that amongst the other sentences, the first three words "I could see" can be interpreted to mean that the tour guide just realised there was an opportunity.

Cheers.
