To what is FDR referring to when he says that the democracies, by fighting aggression, “are keeping war away from our hemisphere

Roman55 [17]

This quote comes from the now famous Four Freedoms speech, delivered by Roosevelt as the State of the Union address on January 6, 1941. The international context was very negative. Hitler and his Axis allies were winning in Europe. Britain was greatly menaced and the Japanese were gearing up for all-out war in the Pacific and in Asia.

Roosevelt, aware that scientific progress had eliminated the physical advantage of the USA being separated from Europe and Asia by such vast expanses of water had been arming and funding the British for years and had also increased military spending and the Navy in order to keep Japan at bay.

He knew that once Hitler had conquered Europe and Japan had conquered the East, all the populations and resources of these vast reasons would be used to directly attack the USA, which would eventually find itself in numeric inferiority so in order to prevent such a dark future he chose to send weapons, supplies and money to the British.

Choose three goods. Then predict whether they have elastic or inelastic demand at their current price. Next, determine their ela

gladu [14]

The price elasticity of a demand function measures the reaction of the quantity demanded by consumers after the price modification of a product. According to the law of demand, for normal goods, when the price of the product increases, the quantity demanded decreases, therefore there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity. Elasticity helps to assess the proportion of the modifications in the two variables.

Let's analyse the following three goods:

Gasoline, is a good with an inelastic type of demand curve. When there is a change in the price of gasoline, the quantity demanded by consumers decreases in a lower proportion than the price increase. There are no easily available susbtitutes that consumers could purchase instead of gasoline to cover the same need. The shape of this type of demand curve is represented by the first graph attached.
Cola, is a product with an elastic demand curve. When the price of a certain type/brand of cola drink increases its price, the quantity demanded of that product decreases in a larger proportion than the price increases. Consumers can easily switch and buy from a different cola brand or select a different type of soda drink to satisfy the same need. The shape of this type of demand curve is represented by the second graph attached.
Two vending machines located next to each other provide an example of a perfectly elastic demand curve. If the price of one of the two vending machines increases for the same product, its quantity demanded would be reduced to 0, as all consumers will switch to the other machine which is located only a few centimetres away. The shape of this type of demand curve is represented by the third graph attached.

How do corrupt leaders affect their citizens (Rome)?

dalvyx [7]

Corrupt leaders made the democracy of Rome compromise itself and led to monarchy and then sometimes to ruin

Explanation:

The Democracy of Rome had many intricacies that excluded a number of people from ever participating and made it in a way an exclusive group that could ever hope to hold political power.

This made it easier for the government to be very corrupt and they had very little accountability.

The people became dissatisfied and thus many times supported the foundation of monarchy or even found the city in state of civil war multiple times in centuries.
