What does the term arabesque refer?

History

The arabesque is a form of artistic decoration consisting of "surface decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils" or plain lines, often combined with other elements. It usually consists of a single design which can be 'tiled' or seamlessly repeated as many times as desired. Within the very wide range of Eurasian decorative art that includes motifs matching this basic definition the term "arabesque" is used consistently as a technical term by art historians to describe only elements of the decoration found in two phases: Islamic art from about the 9th century onwards, and European decorative art from the Renaissance onwards. Arabesques are a fundamental element of Islamic art but they develop what was already a long tradition by the coming of Islam. The past and current usage of the term in respect of European art can only be described as confused and inconsistent. Some Western arabesques derive from Islamic art, but others are closely based on Ancient Roman decorations.

Suppose you had lived during the time period of the 1828 election. Would you have voted for Andrew Jackson?

In short- no. He imposed some very unfair tariffs on the southern states, making it very hard to live, most of what he did were things that lead up to the civil war. But in this case, I suggest you do your research and do the essay, but I can tell you what he did. He inposed unfair tariffs on forgein goods, making them the same (expensive) prices on domestic goods, made in the north. In retaliation, South Carolina seceded, and used military action against them. He also made the federal reserve a thing I think.

Answer: C.) He lived a lavish lifestyle and mishandled national finances.

Explanation: The French resented the royal family for their lavish lifestyles, and though King Louis XVI was not a tyrant in the way one would think, he did mishandle many of France's finances and send the nation into crippling debt after being persuaded into aiding American troops in the Revolutionary War. He did not have a strong personality for politics and was often known as unintelligent and gullible more than anything else.
