History
1 answer:
likoan [24]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The comparison was made to show how cities are dependent on farms and that is why it is necessary to stimulate the work of farmers.

Explanation:

Bryan's speech was made to encourage a measure that would help farmers to carry out their duties. This measure sought to stimulate the minting of silver to gold in 16 to 1, which would increase the circulation of money and allow an increase in credit for agricultural production.

Bryan knew that this measure would be controversial, especially in large cities that they thought would be harmed. To debate this thought Bryan said: "Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country." By this he meant that it was the obligation of the cities to support the work of the farms, because the cities are dependent on the farms, but the farms are not dependent on the cities.

How did baron de montesquieu and john locke influence the founding fathers
White raven [17]
At the time period, the founding fathers of the United States were heavily influenced by the philosophies of Montesquieu and John Locke. Montesquieu proposed a system of checks and balances by which one aspect of government would not and frankly, could not, possess too much power. The founding fathers accepted this idea thoroughly, as is evidenced by our current governmental system and the three branches. The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches are all designed so that one branch will never exceed the other branches, Montesquieu influenced Benjamin Franklin in particular as he traveled to France frequently. Moreover, John Locke proposed the social contract. Essentially, the social contract states that a government must secure the rights of its citizens. In the event that it fails to do so, the citizens then have the right to rebel and overthrow such a government. The natural rights which he spoke of referred to a citizens right to life, liberty, and property. The founding fathers took his philosophy to heart, especially Thomas Jefferson. He made a slight variation though on Locke's natural rights, writing instead that citizens have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the map to answer your question.

However, we can comment on the following. Hope it is useful.

We did some research and found a map titled "The Viking Age, A.D. 800-1000." The map is included in a lesson to develop Geography skills such as interpreting symbols, lines, and labels.

If this is the correct map to your question, then the correct answer is the following.

The city on the map that is farthest from the Vikings' homeland is Rome, followed by Paris, and the closest city to Vikings homeland, that appear on the map is London.

The homeland of the Vikings was the modern-day Scandinavian territories of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
