Answer:

The correct answer is: Hagia Sophia

Explanation:

Hagia Sophia is the former Orthodox Christian cathedral in Istanbul (ex Constantinople), Turkey, built in 537 AD.

The church was dedicated to the holy wisdom of God. Until 1453 it was the Orthodox congregational church of the Ecumenical Patriarch,  except between 1204 and 1261 when it was converted into a Catholic Church during the Latin Empire.

In 1453, the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople and Mehmed II ordered that the church be converted into a mosque. The building was a mosque from 1453 to 1931 when it was secularized and converted into a museum.

It is the most famous example of Byzantine architecture, famous for its massive dome and it was the world largest building of that time.

How did George Washington help prevent the national debt from tearing the country apart?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

For Presidents’ Day, we need to remember the strong leadership that George Washington gave our nation during the Revolutionary War and afterward, when he became our first president. His integrity and courage in times of crisis make him an exceptional role model for students today.

One neglected feather in Washington’s cap is his commitment to having the U. S. be a financially sound nation. He knew that no nation ever became strong–or remained strong–on borrowed money. Financial integrity and national power go hand in hand. Thus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food. Sometimes those IOUs are called “continental bonds.” We also owed about $11 million to the French for financial (and military) aid in overcoming the British.

Some American politicians wanted to renege on these debts, or only pay part of them off. But Washington and his Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton recognized that U. S. credit and international integrity could only be obtained by paying back our creditors all that we owed them. Thus, Washington supported a tariff–usually 5%–on all imports, and he supported a whiskey tax as well as the two methods of raising money to pay off our national debt. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to avoid “the accumulation of debt,” and asked them not to throw “upon posterity the [debt] burden, which we ourselves ought to bear.”

What was the result of Washington’s effort to set high fiscal standards for the U. S.? Americans followed his leadership and usually spent less federal money that was taken in by the tariff and the whiskey tax. In less than forty years after Washington’s presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.
