The encomienda was the legal system is Spanish colonies in America by which the Spanish crown attempted to define the status of the natives. It was based on a system which was in use in Spain during the Roman period but used also following Reconquista. In this system, conquered peoples were considered vassals of the Spanish monarch. The Crown was giving grants or encomienda to a conquistador, soldier, official, or others, effectively making them trustees of the land, of a specified number of Indians living in a particular area. The grantee or encomendero in Spanish could extract tribute from the natives, but also indigenous population got to keep their lands.

Why did the student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 fail

lilavasa [31]

The student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 failed because the government was in chaos.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The death of Hu Yaobang enraged a lot of people, especially the students, leading to a lot of protests. During the initial stages of the protest, the government of China was reluctant to take any action against the rising protests, because the government was in chaos.

Some officials of the government wanted to respond with violence, whereas some voted to respond in a non violent manner. It lead to a lot of confusions, but finally the Hardliners won the debate and responded by imposing martial law on the protesting people in Beijing.

Why did the Articles of Confederation fail to create an effective, long-term government?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Because of several reasons explained below.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation unified the 13 Colonies that fought the American Revolution War. John Dickinson wrote the draft used as the basis of these Articles. The 13 states ratified them and they went into effect in March, 1781.

Among the main weaknesses, we can list some:

Congress did not have the power to tax, so the incomes were little to none.

Court system did not exist.

To approve a law, a majority of 9 out of 13 people was required, making it more difficult.

An unanimous vote was required for Amendments.

Even though every state had its own army, it was difficult for the nation to put together a national army.

Due to this reasons, the Articles failed to create a long-term government.

<h3>What are War Crimes?</h3>

This refers to the inhumane actions that a person or soldier, usually fighting in a foreign country metes out on people, such as unprovoked aggression, extra-judicial killings, genocide, etc

Hence, we can see that the presence of war crimes is the main reason why a country would pull out of a war and claims it is immoral as this would have infringed on human rights.
