1. Why did people from small states (states with fewer people) want all the states to hav ether same number of votes in the federal legislature? What did they fear?

A: Smaller states would be at a disavantage if votes are dependandant on population. A bigger state would have more delegates than the smaller ones. They feared having less power in elections and less representation, and that larger states would have the control.

2. Why did people from larger states (states with more people) want representation to be based on the population? What was their argument?

A: They believed that larger states should have more representation in Congress, proportionate to the state's population and size. That would give them more authority.

3. Why was the compromise creating a two-house chamber (the House of Representatives and the senate) to balance the needs of smaller and larger states the best solution? Explain.

A: The Compromise pleased the smaller states by giving them equal representation in the Senate regardless of its population, while it met the larger states expectations by determining that the House would be based on proportional representation. This way both large and small states had some authority in the federal legislature.

According to the U.S. Constitution, what does the executive branch of the
Alchen [17]

The correct answer is letter D

The Executive Branch acts in conjunction with the other two: the Legislative and the Judiciary, and despite the common census, the Executive is not superior to them. The three powers work together and must coexist independently, harmoniously and collaboratively.

In the tripartite current elaborated by the philosopher Montesquieu, the executive power is one of the three bodies in charge of the general governance of a State, with its most frequent duties being the enforcement and protection of laws, the administration of public resources and institutions, the conduct of diplomatic and the conclusion (signing, negotiation or undoing) of international treaties. Except in special cases, it is not up to the executive to draft laws (function in charge of the legislature) or to interpret them (judiciary).

The top of the executive hierarchy is occupied by a Head of State, who represents the nation, and / or a Head of Government, who represents the government. The attributions of both are unique to each state, adapting to their specific cultures and histories, so their powers vary widely even between countries with identical systems of government. In presidentialism, for example, where the Head of State is also the Government, the President concentrates much more powers in countries like Brazil and Argentina. In non-presidential systems, as in British parliamentarism, the Heads tend to be different, like the United Kingdom, where the monarch is Head of State and the Prime Minister is Head of Government, and Germany, where the functions are occupied, respectively, by the President and the Chancellor.

The alliances system meant that a local conflict could easily result into an intimidating global one. The overall cause of World War was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Nationalism was a great cause of World War one because of countries being greedy and not negotiating.

Your welcome I don't know if that helped. But yea.
