History
1 answer:
eduard4 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

The Founding Fathers of American democracy had to limit the number of years a legislator could serve in congress so as to prevent corruption, and avoid dictatorship and abuse of power. It was perceived that if the term of years legislators was not limited, and rotation in office  promoted, the legislators, if bad, would continue to make bad laws for the Country and there would not be a way out of the legislative deficit that may ensue in such case. It was also believed that if the term of years of legislators is unrestricted, it could breed legislators who are selfish, callous and inattentive to the public good.

Answer:

C) Contagious diseases spread to both Europe and the Americas

Explanation:

The Columbian Exchange had many positives for both sides of the Atlantic, but unfortunately it had some negatives too. The biggest negatives were the spreading out of diseases. Both in Europe and the Americas, multiple diseases were brought from the other side, and they had devastating effects. The Europeans were affected but not to a degree to become almost extinct, while the Native Americans almost died out totally because of the diseases brought by the Europeans.

How was the rise of totalitarianism in Japan related to its expansionist foreign policy iyn the 20th century?
Maksim231197 [3]

The rise of totalitarianism in Japan began with the following events:

Similar to European nations like Italy and Germany, nationalism and aggressive expansionism began to emerge in Japan after the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles (1919), which ended the First World War, did not recognize the territorial claims of the Japanese Empire, which did not please the Japanese and led to an increase in nationalism.

Throughout the 1920s, various nationalist and xenophobic ideologies emerged among right-wing Japanese intellectuals, but it was only in the early 1930s that these ideas gained full force in the ruling regime.

During the Manchuria Incident of 1931, radical army officers bombed part of the Southern Manchurian Railway and, falsely attributing the attack to the Chinese, invaded Manchuria.

Japan received much criticism after the invasion which led the country to withdraw from the League of Nations, which led to political isolation and redoubling ultranationalist and expansionist tendencies.

In 1932, a group of right-wing officers and the Navy managed to assassinate Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi.

The plot failed to stage a full coup, but effectively ended the dominance of political parties in Japan and consolidated the power of the military elite under the dictatorship of Emperor Hirohito.
