8 0
<span>Just before 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Japanese managed to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and more than 300 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan; Congress approved his declaration with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Japanese allies Germany and Italy also declared war on the United States, and again Congress reciprocated. More than two years into the conflict, America had finally joined World War II.</span>

Answer:

The most important purpose of government as detailed in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is:

To establish justice.

Explanation:

The other purposes of government are secondary to the establishment of justice.  The enthronement of justice ensures the realization of the other purposes.  Without justice, the government will not be able to achieve any domestic tranquility.  Without justice, the government will not be able to realize the common defense of all.  Without justice, the government cannot promote the general welfare of the citizenry.  Without justice, the government cannot secure the blessings of liberty.  Therefore, justice is the fulcrum for the sustenance of the existence of every government.  Otherwise, the government simply becomes a pack of cards, without meaning and order.

Shtirlitz [24]

Hello, this question is about the article "Africans Migration to Colonial America"

Answer:

They began to dominate the land by learning the languages present in North America, getting to know the region and making connections with local residents.

Explanation:

Those who were privileged to survive Middle Passage created the new land because they were able to establish themselves efficiently in North America.

First, they learned the languages spoken in the region, so it would be possible to make connections with local residents. These connections were established through friendships and even joining lineages through marriages, agreements and other things, which allowed the survivors to establish themselves and create a promising environment for themselves and their descendants.
