History
1 answer:
viva [34]2 years ago
3 0

Unlike the States of the Union or a <u>Commonwealth (Union of several sovereign states)</u>, the US territories are considered as sub-national administrative divisions, this means that these territories are without sovereignty and thus they lack representation in Congress and are administered directly by the federal government.

These territories can be classified as incorporated or unincorporated as well as if they have an organized government or not.

It's important to make a note here since the US has 16 territories, <u>5 of which are inhabited and have a government (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico)</u> and <u>11 which are islands with no population or government.</u>

Pick two words that you would describe the French revolution​
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Two words that I think wouuld describe the French Revolution is inspired and coup d'etat

Explanation:

Inspired because the French went in a nosedive in economics becuase of all the money their terrible king was giving to the American Revolution and the French who were no heavily taxed and poor were inspired to do a revolt of their own.

Coup d'etat (means a sudden and decisive change of government by force) because that is exactly what happened; the French took the goverment power by force which was a sudden change in the goverment.
