B) Realization that their civilizations were backward and poor was not a reason for doing this. After being deceived from Western powers, there was a determination among the Chinese and the Japanese to keep outsiders from changing traditional beliefs and practices, and they did not want Europeans to control them and hold all their power. They also wanted to be independent and self-sufficient, as well as fully sovereign.

Correct answer:

b. realization that their civilizations were backward and poor

China and Japan rejected contact with foreigners because they were determined to preserve traditional institutions, which would be affected by foreigners. For example in China, the ruling class was a predominantly conservative class. Civilizations considered too much innovation as dangerous. There was never a feeling of backwardness with respect to the other countries.

Why is the Declaration of Independence called the world's biggest break up letter?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer & Explanation:

Essentially, the United States said, "See ya later. You treated me like I was nothing to you, you took advantage of me and only wanted my money!"

Then Britain was something along the lines of, "Hah! You think I care?!"

Then the United States had had enough of the mercantilism and the enrichment of the mother country and all the taxation without representation and made the "break up letter."

How does the language of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution reflect historical events and the goals the Founders had for the

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the U.S. firmly established itself as an independent nation. In 1789, George Washington was elected the first President, initiating the form of government, based on the Constitution, that we recognize today.

Before 1789, the young nation had been ruled by the Articles of Confederation, written in 1781 in reaction to years of British rule. By 1787, however, it was clear that a more perfect Union was required; while protecting the independence of member states, the Articles of Confederation did not describe the powers of a federal chief executive or a judicial system. The creation of our Constitution and present form of government was informed by these and other considerations that arose during the years of the Confederation.

Archival materials and other resources available through EDSITEment-reviewed websites can help your students begin to understand why the Founders felt a need to establish a more perfect Union and how they proposed to accomplish such a weighty task.
