How was life in towns different from life on the manor?
Yanka [14]
Well, people who lived on a manor were very much self-sufficient. They grew most of their own food, and peasant women spun and wove wool and flax into cloth to make the family's clothing, made their own butter and cheese, brewed their own ale,and would make household items like candles and soap. 

In towns, people would be more likely to buy a lot of things ready-made from shops and markets. There would be more specialised tradesmen and craftsmen than there would be in a village. 

In both town and country, families tended to be involved in the family enterrpise, whatever it might be. In the country, all family members would labour on the family farm, in the town the whole family might be involved in the family business or trade, whatever it might be. 

In a manor, the inhabitants would be subjec to a large extent to the will of the Lord of the manor, and would owe him labour services on his won farm (demesne), and if they were serfs they were not free to leave unless the lord gave them permission. In the towns, most people were free and lived their lives independent of the will of a lord (hence the saying 'town air makes you free'). 

In both town and country, the church was an important part of people's lives. A church was not just for church services, often the building was used for secular purposes as well, in the village it would be used for meetings of the manor court, in towns it might be used for meetings of the town council, guild meetings etc. 

In the country, women were normally expected to be the family doctors, and would be expected to make home rmeedies for ailments, be able to stitch up wounds, set broken bones etc. In a town, people would be more likely to have access to a doctor or apothecary, or to a barber-surgeon. 

Another major difference of course would be that far more people in those days lived in the country than in towns, the manorial way of life would be more familiar to a far greater number of people than town life.

OWhich of the following statements most accurately describes the supremacy clause?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The Supremacy Clause states that the Constitution is above all state and federal laws.

Explanation:

The Supremacy Clause is located in the second clause of Article VI of the Constitution. It basically states that the Constitution of the United States, as well as the laws and treaties adopted by the federal government, constitute the supreme law of the nation. This means that the states of the United States are not sovereign but only the federal government, and that, as a last resort, it is always the authority of the Union which takes precedence over the constitution and the laws of each of the States of the Union.

What is your definition of masculinity? How has your present-day definition of this word been informed? Have you actively challe
Sloan [31]

This is a really interesting question and I would love to answer it but especially in society today just think super hard at what you perceive as masculine. To me (you can use this) I picture masculinity as strong and fierce mostly because that's just how I grew up and masculine means muscular and strong. Present-day definition wise of the word, I have no idea tbh. I guess it has though because mostly everything says masculinity is strong while feminent traits are normally shown as weak in media. For the last question, I would just answer it the best you can because the last one is really up to you.
