Answer: The answer is: surplus.
Explanation: Since the Sumerian civilisation developed between rivers in the fertile plain, therefore, thanks to agriculture, combined with the rainy seasons during the year, meant that they were able to produce large quantities of food. That food was necessary for life, and any excess food could be exchanged for some other good, which was in fact a precondition for development. Every surplus of food, growing bigger and bigger, meant an exchange for something else that was needed, and over time, it had grown to such an extent that this exchange meant wealth, power and dominance in the ancient world.
Of course, this exchange of surplus food for other goods contributed to the development of trade with their neighbours, which was a prerequisite for the development of the empire. Thus, a trading system was developed that included established trade canals and their development and promotion, as well as writing trade agreements with a wedge-shaped letter, for easier, faster and more efficient trade.
Well, we could learn how electoral votes control an election. (And how America isn't ready for certain types of presidents.)
Train horse thats about it
If you can pick more than one, almost all of these are true (A, D, E). The ones that ARE NOT true would probably be: (B) Congress did not embark on a $1.6 trillion dollar expansion of the military, AFAIK. Military spending definitely rose, but the national debt rose by roughly that much due to the deficits created by the new budgets as a result of everything else -- not just the military. (C) is definitely not true, either; Reagan cut taxes for the highest tax tiers while closing loopholes, exemptions, and raising taxes on the lower tiers. If you were middle to lower class in terms of economics, you were hit.
