• Why were nuclear weapons important during the Cold War?

History

Off the top of my head:

The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.

You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.

Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.

By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.

There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.

How did the confederate constitution handle the issue of slavery
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The Confederate States Constitution, formally the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, was the supreme law of the Confederate States, as adopted on March 11, 1861, and in effect from February 22, 1862, through the conclusion of the American Civil War.[1] The Confederacy also operated under a Provisional Constitution from February 8, 1861, to February 22, 1862.[2] The original Provisional Constitution is currently located at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia,[3] and differs slightly from the version later adopted. The final, hand-written document is currently located in the University of Georgia archives at Athens, Georgia.[3] In regard to most articles of the Constitution, the document is a word-for-word duplicate of the United States Constitution. However, there are crucial differences between the two documents, in tone and legal content, primarily regarding slavery

Veronika [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

A book called "The Histories" uses research to determine the causes of the Greco-Persian Wars. It was written by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus around 440 BCE. It is a primary source because historian Herodotus was born in 485 BCE, in the Greek city of Halicarnassus, in a time were the Persians had invaded that place and was ruled by Lygdamis, a Persian governor. So Herodotus lived in the times of the Greco-Persian wars and witnessed some events of the war that started in 492BCE and ended in 448.

Primary sources include testimonies, scriptures, or information form witnesses or people who lived during the historical event. Secondary resources are the ones written by researchers that later wrote a book, journals, or encyclopedias.

What are the criteria that the supreme court has adapted in defining strict scrutiny?
bekas [8.4K]
The Supreme Court will apply "strict scrutiny" to any law that establishes a quota system in regard to racial (or other) preferences.  Quota systems cannot be used unless it is demonstrated that they are necessary to address past or present patterns of actual discrimination against some persons or groups.  There must be proof that the patterns of actual discrimination have produced or are producing the inequities in regard to how well minorities are represented in a particular area (such as employment, contracts awarded, school admission, etc).  The statistical reality that a minority group is underrepresented somewhere does not in itself prove that there has been discriminatory practice.

Schach [20]

1 grain of sugar contains about 600 quadrillion molecules of glucose which can be used to make about 18 quintillion molecules of ATP

It would take about 77 quintillion molecules of glucose to make 1 second of atp and it would take around 2.310 sextillion molecules of glucose to make 30 sec of atp and somewhere around 77 quintillion grains of sugar to store around 30 seconds of atp

30 molecules of atp are made with 1 molecule of glucose 10 glucose molecules make 300 atp  

(the number of glucose molecules times 30 equals the number of ATP molecules.)

Divide the number of molecules of ATP needed by 30.

7.7 x 10^19 (77 quintillion)
