For the first one: Thomas Paine stresses in his text again and again that the "cause of America" is not local: it's global, relevant for everyone; so I think that the best answer is this one:

<span>
is really about freedom for people all over the world

The second one:

it does not mention the king: so the first two options are not good. The quote does not mention the government either. The best answer is this one:
</span>
<span><span>
People have rights that come from no government or law or agreement.

and it does explain the quote quite well

Which executive officials are most closely associated with the lawmaking process
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The executive official that are most closely associated with lawmaking is the Legislative Branch.

Explanation:

The Legislative Branch consists of 16 standing (or permanent) committees; the House of Representatives has 22. Each specializes in specific areas of legislation: foreign affairs, defense, banking, agriculture, commerce, appropriations and other fields.

Every bill introduced in either house is referred to a committee for study and recommendation. The committee may approve, revise, kill or ignore any measure referred to it. It is nearly impossible for a bill to reach the House or Senate floor without first winning committee approval. In the House, a petition to discharge a bill from a committee requires the signatures of 218 members; in the Senate, a majority of all members is required. In practice, such discharge motions only rarely receive the required support.

How did railroads helped build economy?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Railroad expansion affected the US economy by creating jobs, establishing a national market, establishing a cattle industry on the Plains, and allowing certain people to acquire great wealth through investing in the railroad.

Railroads created a more interconnected society. Counties were able to more easily work together due to the decreased travel time. With the use of the steam engine, people were able to travel to distant locations much more quickly than if they were using only horse-powered transportation

Which of the following would NOT be considered a pirate? Francis Drake Sea dogs English raiders Spanish galleons
Lera25 [3.4K]

The correct answer is D) Spanish galleons.

The option that would NOT be considered a pirate is "Spanish galleons."

With the support and blessings of King Fernando de Aragón and Queen Isabella de Castile, the Spanish nave sailed the seas to explore new territories to conquer them for the Spanish Kingdom. If the Spanish were known for great explorers and conquerors it was due to the formidable galleons(ships) fleet they had. In the mid 16th century, Spanish galleons were great ships that served navigators to explore, trade, and protect the Spanish seas and coasts from pirates and invaders. Andalucia, Spain, was one of the most important places where the galleons were built.
