Answer:

The correct answer is A. The passage of the Stamp Act inspired resentment toward the British government.

Explanation:

The Stamp Act or Duties in American Colonies Act 1765 was passed by the English Parliament in 1765, stating that all documents in circulation in the American colonies should receive stamps from the metropolis. The Stamp Act stipulated that all newspapers, books and documents published in the colonies should pay a fee, which meant more expenses for the settlers. It was repealed in 1766.

The Stamp Act was sanctioned by the London government on March 22, 1765, with the approval of the British Parliament, to raise funds to pay off debts and defend territories conquered by France in the French and Indian War.

Realizing that the costs of complying with the Stamp Act (containing revolts) exceeded the gains in the colonies, the British government decided to repeal it in the succeeding year. Despite this, the law eventually reinforced movements against the British government and in favor of independence.

What factor led to Nixon’s re-election in 1972

Paladinen [302]

I would answer: Nixon's appeal to the "Silent Majority" in America gave him sufficient support to win re-election in 1972.

Context/detail:

Richard Nixon sought to appeal to what he called "The Silent Majority" of American citizens -- the everyday, middle-class, working folks who were not part of the anti-war protests that had been happening in the country. On November 3, 1969, during his first year in office, President Nixon called on that "silent majority" in a major radio and television address. In response to continuing war protests, Nixon urged solidarity in support of the war effort in Vietnam War effort, saying that the United States was “going to keep our commitment in Vietnam.”

Nixon's efforts in 1969 did not stop the war protests. (The folks protesting weren't part of his "Silent Majority" demographic). However, the 1972 election tended to vindicate Nixon and his appeal to average working-class voters. He won a landslide victory, carrying 49 of 50 states.

Other factors that worked in Nixon's favor were the pursuance of détente with the Soviet Union and his opening of relations with the People's Republic of China, which began with his trip there in February, 1972.

With pointing out the fact that one of his sons died during the Nigerian Civil War, he wanted to point out that many people died during the Nigerian Civil War, a war many people weren't even aware existed at all. This caused a greater awareness in peoples' minds about the war.

The modern state system is engaged in a struggle between the forces of supranationalism and devolution. Define both terms and gi

ioda

Answer:

Supranationalism is the unification of multiple states working together to achieve a common goal. Such priorities are diverse, ranging from world peace, economic benefits, military, and many more. Such member states also share political control, rules, and regulations. The European Union would be an example of that.

Devolution is the mechanism in which state regions claim an autonomous government. This can trigger a society to break up, also known as balkanisation. Yugoslavia is one example of that.

With reference to the political and economic geography of Europe, briefly discuss three changes resulting from supranationalism.

Answer:

One change in Europe that would benefit from supranationalism would be the development of the Euro, a common currency. Another move would be to create better economic power due to reduced tariffs, increased trade and open frontiers between member states. The elimination in conflicts and wars is also a significant change of policy generated by supranationalism.

With reference to the political and economic geography of Europe, briefly discuss three changes resulting from devolution.

Answer:

The formation of more states (balkanisation of former Yugoslavia) would be one change resulting from the devolution. Another adjustment would be the emergence of disputes and political instability owing to the difficulty involved in the process of devolution. Eventually, a rise in regional political power will result from a shift
