Answer:

Techological improvements allowed for mass printing of newspapers and books in the 19th and 20th centuries. This has had an economic, commercial and social impact. It was possible to reach thousands or even millions of people with a single edition; it was possible now to reach a massive audience who did not have higher education, but wanted to read news and have some form of entertainment. People have always wanted to know about  shocking events, disasters, tragedies, violent crimes and the juicy details of the romantic life of those famous and powerful. There is an old phrase of American journalism: "Dog bites man, that´s not news. Man bites dog, that´s news." So , newspapers for a massive audience were set up and exploited stories about violence, crime and sex. That´s the advent of "yellow journalism" in the modern world. Besides, having a high number of readers or subscribers assured profits for newspaper owners, because the larger the audience, the larger the advertising revenues. This logic continues to be true today.

Describe one historical situation in England that influenced the ideas expressed by Hobbes in the passage.b. Describe one broade
mestny [16]

Hello. You did not submit the passage this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find a question like yours where it featured a passage from the book "Leviathan." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer and Explanation:

A. The passage portrays how the sovereign of a region is not subject to civil laws, as he is the only one who has the power to revoke them, which allows him to be free to do as he pleases. A historical situation that motivated him to write this was the existence of manipulations in the laws of England brought about by the monarchy and the commonwealth sovereigns.

B. A broader historical development that inspired Hobbes was the existence of an absolutist monarchy that gave kings and queens full control of all civil, political, and social laws and elements.

Why were precedents set by Supreme Court with Marshall as Chief Justice important
Neporo4naja [7]
The Marshall Court, the time period when Chief Justice Marshall was the head of the Supreme Court (1801-1835), helped to set important examples for American law. Arguably the most important case of his tenure was the Marbury vs. Madison case.

In this case, it was ruled that the Supreme Court has the authority to deem laws unconstitutional. This example forever changed the Supreme Court because thousands of cases are based on this premise. The most important purpose of the Supreme Court now is to determine the constitutionality of issues. It all started with the Marshall court and Marbury vs. Madison.

How were the ideas of President Roosevelt and John Muir different regarding protecting the environment?
Natalija [7]

The Roosevelt Museum of Natural History opened its doors in 1867. Among its first specimens was the skull of a seal that had washed up in New York Harbor, begged from its owner by the museum's founder, eight year old Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. Frail, myopic "Teedie," as he was known to his family, seemed an unlikely naturalist. But it was his mind, not his body, that made Roosevelt's precocious entry into the world of natural history anything but child's play. Inquisitive and single-minded, he would pursue his interests in nature relentlessly for the rest of his life -- a pursuit that would impact America's wild places for decades beyond his death.  

Fueled by Theodore's curiosity, the Roosevelt museum grew. Teedie collected everything within his reach and range of vision, and begged friends and family to bring him any specimens they found. He even paid other children to collect specimens for him. Yet he generously shared his collection. In 1871, he donated several specimens to another fledgling museum -- the American Museum of Natural History, which had been co-founded by his father.

The following year, having obtained spectacles to correct his vision and a shotgun to aid in capturing specimens, Theodore traveled with his family to Egypt and Syria, where he collected numerous birds. By then a skilled taxidermist, he skinned and mounted the birds himself. If young Roosevelt's collection methods seemed bloody and cruel, he merely followed the accepted practices of the leading naturalists of the time. Killing was the only way to make extremely accurate observations about the physical characteristics of unfamiliar animals.

While written in a childish hand, the notebooks in which young Roosevelt logged his studies reflected the zeal with which he pursued Nature. They contained complete descriptions of the animals collected, including size, sex, place and date collected, habits, and even stomach contents. In Vienna, where the family traveled after leaving Egypt, Roosevelt turned his hotel room into a virtual zoological laboratory, much to the dismay of the cousin who shared his lodgings.

At Harvard, where he studied natural history, Roosevelt similarly outfitted his off-campus apartment and continued collecting. In 1882, after being elected to the New York State Legislature, Roosevelt donated the bulk of the Roosevelt Museum of Natural History to the Smithsonian Institution. But his interest in the outdoors did not end with the museum's closing.

By the mid-1800's, many of the people closest to nature had come to realize that the wilderness could only suffer so much exploitation. Hunters, miners, and timber cutters threatened not only individual species, but entire ecosystems. Fortunately, forward-thinking sportsmen began to organize for the conservation of game and game habitat. Theodore Roosevelt, an avid hunter, joined the fight. Not surprisingly, the organization he helped to found would be among the most influential.

In 1887, Roosevelt and editor George Bird Grinnell of "Forest and Stream" magazine founded the Boone and Crockett Club. In the pages of his magazine, Grinnell had called for scientific forest management, clean water, and restricted use of natural resources-ideas considered quite radical by most Americans. Under Roosevelt and Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club would support these concepts, not only promoting the enjoyment of hunting, but the study and preservation of game animals and their habitats.

Perhaps none of the club's efforts was more significant than one of their earliest -- the battle for Yellowstone. While Yellowstone had been officially designated a national park, the designation included no provision for its protection from commercial exploitation. When mining and railroad interests threatened to seriously damage the park, Boone and Crockett rose to the defense.  

With editorials, speaking engagements, and furious lobbying among Washington's rich and powerful, the B & C succeeded. In 1894, President Gover Cleveland signed a bill protecting Yellowstone. While this action alone might have been enough to enshrine Theodore Roosevelt as a Friend to Nature, it represented only a fraction of what he would do to preserve the natural world. Roosevelt's career as a politician/conservationist had only begun.

Roosevelt the President is almost universally remembered for his brash foreign policy. Yet Roosevelt the naturalist also lived in the White House. During his tenure, with the same type of bullishness as he exhibited in the international arena, he established a natural empire the like of which the world had never seen.
