History

Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the US Constitution.  The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states. Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.  They wanted a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to assure that rights and freedoms would not be compromised in any way.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

The Bill of Rights protects rights and freedoms such as:

  • freedom of speech
  • freedom of the press
  • freedom of assembly
  • rights of the accused
  • due process under the law

... and more!

James Madison promised the Bill of Rights to the people even before the constitution was ratified. The Bill of Rights protects the basics freedoms of the people like freedom to practice any religion, the right to protest, the right to privacy. If you want a list of the first 10 amendments of the constitution I suggest you look them up.

How are the executive powers divided in state governments?
zlopas [31]

The correct answer would be C. State governments, using the USA as the basis, have jurisdiction and are responsible for its territories but are a part of the USA and are not legally recognized on the international level and don’t have same status as for example Germany. They share the organizational structure with the federal government. So, they have executive, judicial and legislative branches in accordance with the principle of checks and balances. Also following that principle, the executive power is split between the Governor and other state administrators like attorney general, secretary of state and so on.

Which were ancient Chinese advancements in weaponry and warfare?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

I believe it's two, gunpowder and crossbow

Explanation:

The soonest realized crossbows were designed in the main thousand years BC, not later than the seventh century BC in old China, not later than the fourth century BC in Greece (as the gastraphetes).

Gunpowder was developed in China at some point during the main thousand years AD. The most punctual conceivable reference to gunpowder showed up in 142 AD during the Eastern Han administration when the chemist Wei Boyang, otherwise called the "father of speculative chemistry", expounded on a substance with black powder like properties.
