Answer:A

Explanation:he planed and attempted to kill his neighbour even though he didn't succeed on the action but he had planned to do it and took an action towards doing it and also it is stated in the article that even though he wasn't aware of his pistol's limited range but he went ahead and shot at his neighbour hence it can be concluded that the intentions were indeed to kill his neighbour because if the range was wide enough he would have got him and shot him dead on the spot.

How was the social structure in latin america similar to that of pre revolutioary France? how are they different?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Social structure <u>in both</u><em> Latin America before the wars for Independence and France before the French revolution</em> was <em>characterized by rich ruling minority and poor subjugated majority</em>. The Catholic Church represented by the Clergy occupied the top position in both Latin America, followed by nobles in France and Peninsulars in Latin America. The poor minority in these regions was heavily taxed and mistreated which lead to revolting against the ruling higher classes.

Meanwhile, the <u>key difference</u> between social structures in Latin America and France was laying in the fact that <u>in Latin America it was heavily marked by ethnicity</u>, while <u>in France it was not</u>.

For example, in major parts of Latin America, Peninsulars were the pure-blood noble Spaniards that came from Spain to rule over Spanish colonies (corresponding to French nobles). On the bottom of Latin American social structure were Mulatto (mix of white an black blood), Mestizos (mix of white and Indigenous American blood) and ultimately African slaves.
