Answer:

The correct answer is: availability heuristic

Explanation:

The availability heuristic occurs when people judges the likelyhood of an event based on how easily an example of the event comes to mind. Under the availability heuristic, people tend to base their judgement on recent information that can be easily recalled, ignoring other relevant facts.

By basing their opinions on the latest news people can overestimate the likelyhood of an event, resulting in an important bias.

1. Most of the land occupied by the
Sophie [7]

The correct answer is C) Byzantine Empire.

Most of the land occupied by the Ottomans had been part of the Byzantine Empire.

After the split of the Roman Empire into the West Roman Empire and teh East Roman Empire, many years later the East became the Byzantine Empire with its capital in Constantinople, modern-day Turkey.

The Byzantine Empire occupied the territories of the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey, Italy, Greece, big portions of the Middle East, and North Africa.

In the 15th century, the Ottoman Empire defeated the Byzantine army and captured Constantinople.

Osman was the founding leader of the Ottoman Empire. History says that he had a dream. In that dream, a spiritual figure called Sheikh Edebali appeared. Osman could envision how he led his troops through many parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. In the dream, Osman envisioned mountain ranges such as the Caucasus, the Danube River, and the North African region with the Nile River. His vision reached places in the Middle East such as regions between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

3.5 Discuss the rule of law as a democratic principle which supports a democracy under the its importance
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Its importance

The rule of law is very important for a democracy because it is in itself a democratic concept: the idea that all individuals are subject to the law, including rulers, creators of the law, and judges.

Without the rule of law, it is very hard for a democracy to flourish because its absence often implies that some people are above the law, or have more legal rights than others, a situation that would damage democracy.

Its benefits

The main benefit of the rule of law is that it gives every individual the same legal rights as everyone else. This equality before the law results in a more just society, and also results in a more developed and wealthier society, because equality before the law and property rights enforcement have been shown in many studies to correlate strongly with economic growth.
