History
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago

As the Persians sought to destroy Athens and was planning to land their ships at marathon and march to Athens. Getting word of the oncoming fleet, the Athenians called upon <span>Phidippides to run the 140 miles to Sparta to ask for aid. 
Sparta refused to fight as they religiously couldn't when the moon was full. Although they did later come to protect Athens.
</span><span>Phidippides then had to run all the way back (36 hours, mind you, to deliver the news) 
</span><span>
Even without the Spartans, Athens won the battle despite being outnumbered 1:4

the surviving Persians set sail for Athens and by the time that the tired Athenian soldiers arrived back home. The Spartans had come to their aid and defended the city.
</span>
It was basically the first instance of cooperation in the face of a military conquest against another city-state - in this case, where Athens received aid.

My favourite videos explaining this. (although history channel does tend to exaggerate, it's 1 to 4 in a ratio of Athenians to Persians)

Select all that apply to the 14th amendment.
Elan Coil [88]

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, guaranteed "equal protection of the laws" to all citizens, including former slaves, and granted citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the country.

<h3><u>The 14th Amendment is what?</u></h3>

One of the Reconstruction Amendments, the Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868. It addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law, and it was proposed in response to problems involving former slaves after the American Civil War.

It is frequently regarded as one of the most significant amendments. The states of the defeated Confederacy, which were compelled to ratify the amendment in order to regain representation in Congress, fiercely opposed it.

The amendment, and especially its first section, is one of the most contentious parts of the Constitution, serving as the foundation for important Supreme Court rulings on issues like racial segregation in schools in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), abortion in Roe v. Wade (1973) (which will be overturned in 2022), the 2000 presidential election in Bush v. Gore (2000), and same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).

Under early mercantilism, european nations sought a to import raw materials from the americas and ship manufactured goods to the
kozerog [31]

TRUE

<em>I'm assuming you included that as a true/false sort of question.</em>

The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated.  The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything.  Colonies were created to provide raw materials and resources to the mother country and a market for the mother country's products.  Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies.

As one example, Great Britain strove to achieve its mercantilism goal by using the American colonies as a way of enriching the British home government.  Britain also sought to control shipping by a dominant navy and merchant marine.

"Mercantilism" is a term we get from Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790).  Smith criticized what he called the "mercantile system" because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth.   Smith countered by advocating a free market -- the opportunity for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles.
