The main reason why the money issued by the continental congress of little value was because it wasn't "backed" by anything real such as gold. Plus, this government had practically no credit.

The correct answer is:

The money did not have enough gold and silver to back it up.

During the American Revolution, the colonies and the Continental Congress issued paper money, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. This bills of credit were usually flat money, meaning they could not be exchanged for a fixed amount of gold or silver coins upon demand. When too many were issued, inflation resulted in the depreciation of that money.

Enter the word you received when you completed the Africans push for independence activity ________.
melomori [17]

Between 1870 and 1900 Africa territories were under European states control, such as Britain, France, Germany, Portugal among others. Besides, the majority of African territories lost their sovereignty and control of natural resources. Imperial policies which favored resource exploitation and cheap labor weakened local economies. As a result, revolts started to spread by the middle of the 20th century since colonies did not want to accept the Europeans policies which ruled African territories. The African Movements for independence from European rulers took place in the 20th century.  It was a slow process; but, by 1977, 54 African countries got rid of European imperial rulers. Consequently, the word they received when the Africans pushed for independence was "Africa".

What is the most striking irony involving local government in the United States?
Ivahew [28]

The answer is letter D: It is the most accessible, but has the least amount of citizen involvement.

- Around 68% of citizens have more confidence in the local government than in the state and federal government. This is due to the fact that a lot of people can reach out easily to the local government and have issues dealt with faster than in the national and state levels. Though the local government is the most accessible, citizen involvement is at the minimum. In the past, it has been observed that citizen participation in local government decision making is at its lowest. There has been efforts to strengthen participation because it is an important component of a democratic society.
