Because it had monopoly over trade.

Explanation:

  • The British East India Company was the most powerful corporation the world had ever seen.
  • Founded in 1600, the power of this company stretched from Cape Horn in the south of South America all the way to China.
  • The British East India Company was a joint stock company, which was granted trade rights with India under the Royal Charter of 1600.
  • The company transformed from a trading company into a company, which ruled India by taking over military and ruling functions, until its dissolution in 1858.
  • The British East India Company obtained trade rights from the Mughal emperors in 1617. One hundred years later, she was granted the right not to pay customs duties in Bengal, thereby gaining a huge advantage in Indian trade.

Which level of government can declare war on foreign Nations​
AveGali [126]

Answer: The Constitution of the United States divides the war powers of the federal government between the Executive and Legislative branches: the President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces (Article II, section 2), while Congress has the power to make declarations of war, and to raise and support the armed forces (Article I, section 8). Over time, questions arose as to the extent of the President's authority to deploy U.S. armed forces into hostile situations abroad without a declaration of war or some other form of Congressional approval. Congress passed the War Powers Resolution in the aftermath of the Vietnam War to address these concerns and provide a set of procedures for both the President and Congress to follow in situations where the introduction of U.S. forces abroad could lead to their involvement in armed conflict.

Conceptually, the War Powers Resolution can be broken down into several distinct parts. The first part states the policy behind the law, namely to "insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities," and that the President's powers as Commander in Chief are exercised only pursuant to a declaration of war, specific statutory authorization from Congress, or a national emergency created by an attack upon the United States (50 USC Sec. 1541).

What were Americans essential attitudes towards education
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Hmm. Well, if your thinking of the same time in history that I am...than I believe that the Americans put education at a high place in their lives. For the girls, well, they were going to get married off anyway. So why bother with their education, they were just taught how to keep house. The boys were sent to school if their parents believed that it was okie dory for them. But, if the child's parent was a farmer or something like that. Than they were more likely to stay and home. And learn the trade of their Father.

Nowadays, education is held in the highest respect. If you want a good, well paying job in your life. Than a good, solid education is the way to go. The only way to go. Collage is expected from graduates now it seems. But maybe that's just me. But, people all have their own views on education. Some find it important, and others could care less.
