Answer:
Decline in trade - shift to a rural society
Explanation:
The fall of the Roman Empire brought significant changes in the mode of rule and governance. After the fall, the empire was governed by the warrior kings. The traditional and community guidelines were given priority than the written laws. There was a drastic change in the economic stability of the empire as well. The economy inclined towards the agricultural sector as the result of the collapse of the trade. It was because of the decline in the trade that shifted the empire towards the rural society.
Answer:
Gerrymandering (/ˈdʒɛrimændərɪŋ/,[1][2]) is a practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries, which is most commonly used in first-past-the-post electoral systems.
Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] The top-left diagram in the graphic is a form of cracking where the majority party uses its superior numbers to guarantee the minority party never attains a majority in any district.
In addition to its use achieving desired electoral results for a particular party, gerrymandering may be used to help or hinder a particular demographic, such as a political, ethnic, racial, linguistic, religious, or class group, such as in Northern Ireland where boundaries were constructed to guarantee Protestant Unionist majorities.[4] The U.S. federal voting district boundaries that produce a majority of constituents representative of African-American or other racial minorities are known as "majority-minority districts". Gerrymandering can also be used to protect incumbents. Wayne Dawkings describes it as politicians picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians.[5]
The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry (pronounced like "Gary"[2]), who, as Governor of Massachusetts in 1812, signed a bill that created a partisan district in the Boston area that was compared to the shape of a mythological salamander. The term has negative connotations and gerrymandering is almost always considered a corruption of the democratic process
Answer: spiritual and cultural change
Explanation:
Early missionaries sought to convert and change the culture of indigenous people. Later, Christians and Catholics realized that stripping indigenous people of their culture did not lead to satisfying spiritual relationships. For example, consider a Christian missionary who demands that a man of several wives give up all wives except one. The rejectied wives become homeless and penniless. They are confused as to why a loving God would want them to be alone and rejected when they had simply followed their cultural norms and were very happy doing so. The disruption created great confusion and misunderstanding of the attributes of God.
