In the American colonies in 1776 Loyalist party affiliates, also known as Tories, were loyal to the British crown. Many Loyalists assured British leaders of their unwavering loyalty to Great Britain and asserted that they would fight for the British in the event of war.
Loyalists believed that a loyalty was owed to Great Britain, that removal of British rule would lead to a collapse of the American colony's economy. Many loyalists were wealthy British officials who had economic ties to England. Others remained loyal due to the immense power of the British military who was known for their incredible naval fleet. Many Loyalists after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, fled the American colonies, taking their wealth with them, to Canada, British Caribbean territories, or back to Great Britain.
During the war some women chose to aid through nursing, spying, disguising themselves as men and fighting, and/or following war camps to aid in care of soldiers. Many loyalist women were left in an awkward position after the Declaration of Independence to stay and care for properties. These properties were often confiscated to punish their husbands, but also punished the women and children with these confiscations. Women were allowed to vote in some states, but outlawed against in doing so in other states. Women's education was also a source of issue because they were not allowed to be educated equal to men but single women were granted more freedoms than married women who lost almost all of their identity post marriage.
Patriots were those who believed that American colonies had the right to independence from Great Britain. Patriots believed that they were being unfairly and harshly taxed by the British and wanted to put an end to it. After the signing of the Declaration of Independence, many Patriots stepped into governmental and political roles. There was a large shift
The phrase "all men are created equal" is one of great controversy because it was open to interpretation. Who exactly is meant by "men"? Does it mean only the male gender, or mankind as well? Are African Americans (and slaves/indentured servants) included in the equality? Do women hold a right to this equality?
Answer:
"Independent Variable: Use of calculators
Dependent Variable: How fast student worked math problem
Control: Group not using calculators
Constant: Same math problem"
Explanation:
Independent variable: In research, the term "independent variable" is described as a variable that is being changed by a researcher to see its effects on the dependent variable. Independent variable isn't changed by any variable a researcher is trying to evaluate or measure.
Dependent variable: It is being tested by the researcher, and tends to represent a specific quantity whose value is dependent on some manipulations i.e., any changes being made onto the independent variable will hamper the dependent variable directly.
Control group: It is composed of specific participants that don't receive the "experimental treatment". When a researcher is administering an experiment, these participants are being randomly assigned to the given group.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
nation (b)
Explanation:
A nation refers to a group of people with some common features such as language, history, territory, ethnicity, religion, and culture. Recently, nations have been described as being political rather than ethnic groups. Example of nation is South Korea, because almost everyone here speak the Korean Language.
The term nation is usually confused with a state which is a group of people with mainly similar centralized political entities or country which also describes a politically bound group of people.
Note also that if a nation incidentally is made up of just one state, it is called a nation-state.
Now, defining the other terms in the options;
a multi-state nation is a nation composing of several states, even though the nation operates many states they have similar cultures. For example their language an example here is The Unites States of America.
While, a multinational state is an autocrat state, occupying a territories of more than one nation. They may have many languages or cultures. Examples are Iraq, Brazil, Canada etc.
Americans are known for a lot of things, but saving isn't one of them. In the credit-fueled spending spree that personified the last decade, the national savings rate dropped to all-time lows – even turning negative in 2005.
We all know that saving is important, and when the economy hits upon tough times, having money in the bank can be a godsend. With inflation fears running rampant, though, is saving really worthwhile? Here's why saving money is still sage advice in an economy that's struggling to recover. (Learn more about saving in Save Without Sacrifice and It's Never Too Early To Start Saving.)
Credit Cause
The past two months have shown us that recovery isn't something investors can take for granted. Since the beginning of 2010, we've seen key economic metrics miss analyst expectations and stocks have slinked lower as a result. There's a connection between our languishing savings rate and the economic straits we find ourselves in right now. It all begins with credit …
The widespread acceptance of credit in the past two decades has helped fuel significant growth in the U.S., but it has also come at a significant cost. With credit freely available, particularly in the last few years, consumers took to using their credit lines (and home equity, for that matter) like a savings account. As a result, they stopped saving. In January 1959 Americans saved 8.3% of their income, but by early 2008 that number had shrunk to 0.8%.
As the credit market seized, and consumer credit lines began to shrivel, people started to realize that the credit limits on their accounts weren't the same as cash in the bank. (Learn more in 9 Reasons To Say "No" To Credit.)
Savings Bring Recovery
The idea that savings help out in a tough economy isn't an earth-shattering revelation. But you might be surprised to find out just how much a high savings rate can speed up economic recovery.
One of the biggest challenges to our economy in the last 18 months has been the chain reaction of defaults that is endemic to our credit system. As a collapsing real estate market shoved overextended consumers underwateron their mortgage payments, those same consumers found themselves slashing spending at the last minute and going into default, which, in turn, cut economic output and increased job losses putting even more people in tough spots.
A small number of consumers and lenders were very quickly able to affect a larger portion of the economy because of the financial system's interconnectedness.
How Savings Help
To be sure, higher savings reserves mean that consumers have cushions that can help absorb overwhelming expenses without digging the hole deeper. But just as importantly, having a higher portion of income allocated to savings means that living expenses are lower – and consumers can adjust their budgets to spend a larger chunk of income on increased mortgage payments or better compensate if they lose their jobs.
That ability to cope with financial hardship ultimately means that the economy recovers much faster. After all, when the bills are being paid, the banks, utilities and grocery stores can keep their doors open – and their workers employed.
Savings, Government and Risk
That's not to say that savings are without risk; anyone who held stocks in their retirement accounts in October 2008 can attest to that. Even government intervention can work against savers - stimulus spending and increased inflation both work against your cash. (Learn more about government intervention in Economic Meltdowns: Let Them Burn Or Stamp Them Out?)
When a government provides stimulus to its citizens, it typically finances those expenses through additional sovereign debt, which needs to be paid off by future generations. In a sense, the savers are forced to bail out non-savers when the government gets involved. Simply printing extra money is another way that governments pay for stimulus. When that happens, there's a serious risk of inflation, the number-one killer of savings.
With inflation, each dollar in your savings account has less real purchasing power. It's the reason why a loaf of bread cost five cents in 1910 and averages more than $2 today.
And while those risks are very real, widespread savings essentially eliminates the need for government stimulus in the first place by shoring up the nation's finances at the consumer level. As with most economic crises, the national savings rate shot up following 2008's real estate collapse, as those who could afford to save stashed their cash anticipating tougher times ahead. But already, we've seen savings rates take a hit as the economy and the stock market rebounded last year.
