Right
away we can toss out D, as the patriots primarily consisted of local
militia with little training. We can also toss out C, as our new
country did not have any manufacturing capabilities (at least not for
weapons). The war was fought with weapons provided by other countries
and weapons that people brought from the original European homes. We
can also dismiss A. as we did not have a larger population than England.
The result is B. Washington was a skilled general who fought in the
French-Indian Wars.

The Tribal Assembly or Assembly of the People (comitia populi tributa) of the Roman Republic was an assembly consisting of all Roman citizens convened by the tribes (tributim). During the Roman Republic, citizens were organized on the basis of 35 tribes: four urban tribes of the citizens in the city of Rome, and 31 rural tribes of citizens outside the city. The tribes gathered in the Tribal Assembly to vote on legislative, judicial and electoral matters. Each tribe voted separately and one after the other. In each tribe, decisions were made by majority vote and its decision counted as one vote regardless of how many electors each tribe held. Once a majority of tribes voted in the same way on a given measure, the voting ended and the matter was decided. The president of the Tribal Assembly was usually either a "consul" or a "praetor". The Tribal Assembly elected the "quaestors", and the "curule aediles". it conducted trials for non-capital punishment cases. However, the Roman Dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla reassigned this to special jury courts in 82 BC.There are disagreements among modern historians regarding the number and nature of the tribal assembly .
The citizens did not elect legislative representatives (such as congressmen or MPs). Instead, they voted themselves on legislative matters in the popular assemblies, the tribal assembly and the plebeian council). Bills were proposed by magistrates and the citizens only exercised their right to vote. The citizens also elected the magistrates in the popular assemblies. They were presided over by a single magistrate. It was the presiding magistrate who made all decisions on matters of procedure and legality. His power over the assembly could be nearly absolute. The only check on his power came in the form of vetoes by other magistrates. Any decision made by a presiding magistrate could be vetoed by the "plebeian tribunes".
Let's take the example of Walmart, which has the large presence in the United States and is an important part of the Consumer Services Industry.
Walmart began with just one store but has grown all over the country to many unique aspects of the American economy and demographics. The United States, in contrast to what many people assume, is a very diverse country.
The culture of New England is very different from that of the Bible belt. Similarly, the African American culture of Georgia is different from the casual California where there is a vast Hispanic population.
Walmart saw an opportunity in this diversity and has grown by catering to needs of all these consumers. Communities with highly dense Hispanic population stocked food items that were very different than can be found in Jewish neighbourhoods and vice verse.
This enabled Walmart to connect with each community and grow with them over the generations.
In all this, Walmart prides itself in providing benefits to US army veterans and provides jobs to women from low-income backgrounds and the disabled.
In all this, Walmart does face a number of different challenges, including:
- A slowing economy can hit the profits of the company
- Competition from other companies such as Costco and even international players like Aldi and Lidl can decrease their market share
- Online rivals such as Amazon have long been identified as a threat to the company and is one of the biggest challenges facing the consumer service industry.
- Companies like Amazon are not only involved in retail but also in selling movies, music, etc that can completely challenge the consumer service sector
