The Maine sunk because a large portion of her munitions stores (at least 5 tons) exploded. There's no real need for "theories"; that's pretty much an established fact. 

<span>Where the theories come into it are in determining what caused the munitions stores to explode. </span>

<span>The Spanish court of inquiry that examined the wreckage concluded it most likely was due to spontaneous combustion of an adjacent coal bunker. </span>

<span>The US Court of inquiry concluded it was due to a mine explosion setting off the munitions stores. </span>

<span>More recent investigations have gone both ways; a later US court of inquiry differed in the details from the first, while still agreeing that an external explosion was the root cause. Admiral Rickover in 1974 conducted a private investigation which ultimately largely concurred with the "coal bunker" explanation; and a 1978 analysis commissioned by the National Geographic Society concluded that the evidence was on the whole in favor of an external rather than an internal source initiating the explosion. </span>

<span>Conspiracy theorists sometimes claim the US deliberately sank the Maine in order to have an excuse to go to war with Spain.</span>

anastassius [24]

Answer:

He should go to the interview because according to the Confucianism, to maintain the balance and equality of the world is necessary to follow the four human dimensions:

1 - Himself

2 - The Community

3 - Nature

4 - The Sky

As you can see, the love for himself is the first. But also, Shang must  understand two things:

1 - The Emperor is his father (according to the Confucianism, the government is the father and people is his children. There is a hierarchy)

2 - His mother ill is Heaven's will

To maintain the balance, Shang must go.

DaniilM [7]

America’s first political parties emerged in the late 1790s. The Democratic-Republicans were led by Thomas Jefferson. The Federalists were led by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and John Adams.

The Democratic-Republican Party or the Anti-Administration party (Anti-Federalists) opposed the strong central government that the Constitution established when it went into effect in 1789, and the Federalist Party supported the ratification of the American Constitution. These two parties made up the first two-party system. The conflict over the passage of the federal Constitution of 1787 saw the formation of the first political parties or factions. George Washington served as a uniting force of political parties throughout the first eight years of the country's existence. But after his retirement, the country was divided into two ideologically opposed factions that were soon referred to as the Federalists and Republicans, the country's first two America's political parties.

Temka [501]

Answer:

(THIS MIGHT NOT BE 100% CORRECT!!!)

you would hope that people as individulas could recognize the importance of a government that is fair and representative in all aspects unlike a facist dictatorship. facist governments often supress the rights of the people and the constitution is a political spear head that was created to help prevent facism in the united states, although as times have changed so have peoples perspective on things which has made it easier for people to simply subscribe to what ie easiest and not what is right.
