What was the king’s Privy Council? What role did it play in the House of Burgesses

 <span>The Privy Council is the British Crown's private council. It is composed of more than three hundred members, including cabinet members, distinguished scholars, judges, and legislators. Once a powerful body, it has lost most of the judicial and political functions it exercised since the middle of the seventeenth century and has largely been replaced by the Cabinet. 

The Privy Council derived from the King's Council, which was created during the Middle Ages. In 1540 the Privy Council came into being as a small executive committee that advised the king and administered the government. It advised the sovereign on affairs of state and the exercise of the royal prerogative. It implemented its power through royal proclamations, orders, instructions, and informal letters, and also by giving directions to and receiving reports from the judges who traveled the circuits, hearing cases in cities and towns, twice a year. It concerned itself with public order and security, the economy, public works, public authorities and corporations, local government, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the colonies, and foreign affairs. 

The inner circle of advisers in the Privy Council met in the royal chamber or cabinet and was therefore called the cabinet council. In the eighteenth century, the cabinet became the council for the prime minister, the leader of Parliament. The United States adopted the cabinet idea, though its legal status is not identified in the Constitution. Cabinet members are presidential advisers who serve as executive branch department heads. 

The power of the Privy Council disappeared between 1645 and 1660 during the English Civil War and the government of Oliver Cromwell. It never recovered its former position. Long policy debates shifted to Parliament, and important executive decisions went to committees. In modern days members of the Privy Council rarely meet as a group, delegating their work to committees.</span>

Select all that apply.

The fallacious arguments are:

The Civil War was about Northern businessman trying to bankrupt Southern farmers by emancipating their enslaving work force.  

England developed a fair and just taxation system for the American Colonies.

<em>Both sentences have fallacious arguments. </em>

A fallacy is a wrong idea or a belief that is not true. In the case of the question, the first sentence is a fallacy because the Civil War was not about that argument. The Union wanted to have abolishment ideas that were not supported by the Confederated States. In the case of the second sentence, that is also a fallacy. The taxation system imposed by the English was not fair. It was a heavy taxation system that upset the colonies and that was one of the reasons to start the American Revolution.

Which of the following was an advantage of ironclads? (Select all that apply.)
Nady [450]

Answer:

They could take more damage from enemy power.

Reason this is an answer: Remember that during the Civil War, all sides (as well as the world) continued to use cannon balls, which is generally a sphere made of pig iron, and was loaded into a cannon. These kinds of rounds packed more punch rather than the penetration quality needed to go through iron. Ironclads generally shrugged off the damage that would usually penetrate the wooden-ships, causing a hole in which water would sip in, and slowly drown.

They relied on power.

Reason this is an answer: While I'm not sure what "power" it is referring too, they do rely on many different powers. They first rely on the power of the economical situation of a country, in which the country is able to not only build the ship, but also produce the iron & create enough iron to armor the ship up. Power also can refer to armament as well as crews and protection, in which all of these are heavily relied upon when in battles. Without the experience and battle-hardening of all of these, the ships would not have as much of an impact as it should have.

It can be, but is not necessary, at least during the Civil War:

They could have more weapons and firepower.

Later on as the ironclads evolved they were able to hold more weapons and have a higher % of firepower, however, the early days (or the days of the Merrimack and Monitor) they did not have more fire power than the ordinary wooden ships both navies had. Remember, they relied more on their armor than in firepower. However, this changed over the years.
