Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.

Answer: The United States is a representative democracy, AKA republic, because the citizens do not vote directly on laws. Rather, they elect representatives (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to vote on laws for them. If it were a direct democracy, every law would be voted on by anyone who cared to.

Finger [1]

Answer:

  • Water and soil brought by the Tigris and Euphrates helped to make this civilization possible. The farmers figured out how to use the two rivers to make the land more fertile. As in some early cultures, the farmers of Mesopotamia produced surplus crops.

  • The Tigris River formed the northern-most boundary of Mesopotamia

  • They used canals, or man-made waterways, as irrigation tools to channel water from rivers to crops.

  • It affected Sumer because the different city states fought each other. Some built up armies. Stronger city-states controlled larger areas.

  • The rivers flooded each year, depositing fertile soil on the land. The rivers also provided water for crops.

  • The surpluses of food encouraged local and long-distance trade because they provided the people with a valuable trading good for which they were able to get other goods that they needed and desired.

  • Priests claimed their status on their association with these lords of land. The Sumerians believed they had been created to serve their gods, and they served their gods with sacrificial offerings and supplications.

  • 1 : being above the human : divine superhuman beings. 2 : exceeding normal human power, size, or capability : herculean a superhuman effort superhuman strength also : having such power, size, or capability.
