How was ww2 going for the allies in late 1940

For the Allies - Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - it was going VERY badly. The British Army had been driven out of Europe, with the loss of all its equipment, France had been forced to surrender, British cities were suffering nightly bombing, the approaches to seaports were being blocked by ships sunk by the new, and then unsweepable, magnetic mines, U-boats were wreaking havoc on the vital Atlantic convoys. The only "bright spot" was in North Africa, where Wavell had totally defeated the Italians, but that was to be short-lived, many of his troops being diverted to Greece and lost there, and the Mediterranean Fleet having heavy losses off Crete.

The U.S. was "well out of it", and, very sensibly, was likely to remain so !

Which item is included in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution?

IRISSAK [1]

Answer: search only with probable cause

Explanation:

The first 10 Amendments are meant to protect the rights of American citizens with the logic being that if these rights are included in the Constitution, it would be harder for the government to deny the citizens of it.

The 4th Amendment includes one of those rights which is the right of citizens to not be searched by agents of the government without probable cause and if this is done, whatever is found cannot be used as evidence against the citizen in question.

Before the Industrial Revolution, why did the population in Europe “hardly grow?”

AlladinOne [14]

Conditions before the Industrial Revolution were terrible. Child mortality was high and the children who survived, barely had enough to eat. You see, because of The Little Ice Age, agriculture was terrible. And before the revolution, most of Europe was agriculture based. The lack of food made people stunted and killed many. The food that could be harvested, were taxed and there was almost no profit.
