Thanks. Have a splendid day.
A huge part of it had to deal with the way that the French government dealt with debt.
<span>Only their third estate, primarily poor merchants and peasants, paid any taxes. The French largely funded the American Revolution because of their long-standing animosity with Great Britain. However, the debt they incurred was only slowly paid off because the people they were taxing had very little money. The country fell into an economic crisis and resentment began to build against the first and second estates--the weathly, title-holder, landed gentry and clergy. Thus the revolution. </span>
<span>A good comparison is Great Britain post-America Revolution, who taxed their citizens more fairly and avoided revolution by not throwing most of their citizens into the desperate straits of poverty.</span>
The Roman court appointed 10 men to draft the Twelve Tables which were largely based upon the statutes of other nations. The tables outlined the procedures for courts and trials; settling debt issues, fathership rights, inheritance and legal guardianship rights; land rights, and acquisition and possession rights. The Twelve Tables also established personal injury laws.
About a year after their completion, the Twelve Tables were paraphrased and chiseled into twelve ivory tablets and hung in the Roman Forum, an open-air plaza, so that every Roman citizen could read the most important parts of each law.
According to California State University at Northridge, the Twelve Tables stated eight types of punishment for breaking the laws: fine, fetters, flogging, exact-match retaliation, public disgrace, banishment, slavery and execution. The Twelve Tables also stated that men and women who lived together for a year were to be considered married, that a higher class member could not marry a lower class member and that a person be put to death for singing a slanderous song to another person.
Answer:
dinosaurs died 66 million years ago when an asteroid hit the Earth. The asteroid collision killed 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs. Researchers estimate the asteroid hit with the equivalent power of 10 billion atomic bombs.
