Liono4ka [1.6K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Did this change  bring the government closer to the people or did it change the way elections

The fact that now senators are directly chosen by the people undoubtely brings government closer to the citizens of each state.

Senators tend to have more name recognition than representatives, and when they campaign, they embody the issues of their states, which helps people understand what they do, and make their decision.

Are senators more accountable to the people now or are  senators mainly concerned with re-election?

Most politicians are concerned about their re-election, because their political power depends on being elected. However, to be re-elected, they have to convince their voters, and this creates accountability with the people.

Who were the winners and losers from the exploits of companies like the VOC?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The winners were the ship owners, business people, and the Dutch people generally.  They profited so much from their exploits of the local Indians by occupying their lands, buying goods, especially spices, at cheap prices, and selling at highly profitable prices.  The riches of the Netherlands can be attributed to the activities of companies like the VOC.

Civilization is another major winner.  The operations of companies like VOC was a necessary evil that opened up the world to myriads of technological advancements and civilization, bringing in Christianity for the salvation of souls.

The ostensible losers were the local Indians and West Africans who were transported across the Atlantic as slaves.  The psychological defeat entrenched by foreign occupation and in slavery had not waned till today.  

But, there is no longer the need to regret the past.  Those whose lands were occupied and those enslaved should come to terms with the extant facts and move forward doggedly.  Afterall, they also profited by being unchained from cruel traditions like the killing of twins.  In addition, many have embraced Jesus Christ, the way to the Father God.

Explanation:

Using such companies as the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie in Dutch), the Dutch challenged the dominance of the Portuguese in International Trade and Slavery.  The VOC was created in 1602 and lasted till 1800 with its main purpose as trade (both in goods and humans), exploration of natural resources, and colonization of indigenous peoples.

Was the 1911 Revolution a revolution for all Chinese people, or only for some?
Lisa [10]

Explanation:

The 1911 Revolution, also known as the Chinese Revolution or the Xinhai Revolution, ended China's last imperial dynasty, the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China on 1 January 1912. The revolution was named Xinhai (Hsin-hai) because it occurred in 1911, the year of the Xinhai (辛亥) stem-branch in the sexagenary cycle of the traditional Chinese calendar.[2] The revolution marked the end of 2,000 years of imperial rule and the beginning of China's early republican era.[3]The revolution culminated a decade of agitation, revolts, and uprisings. The Qing dynasty had struggled for a long time to reform the government and resist foreign aggression, but the program of reforms after 1900 was opposed by Manchu conservatives at court as too radical and by Chinese reformers as too slow. Underground anti-Qing groups, revolutionaries in exile, reformers who wanted to save the monarchy by modernizing it, and activists across the country debated how or whether to overthrow the Manchus. The flash-point came on 10 October 1911, with the Wuchang Uprising, an armed rebellion among members of the New Army. Similar revolts broke out spontaneously around the country. The abdication of the last Chinese emperor, the six-year-old Puyi, was promulgated on 12 February 1912.

In Nanjing, however, revolutionary armies established a provisional coalition government. The National Assembly declared the Republic of China, then declared Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Tongmenghui (United League), President of the Republic. A brief civil war between North and South ended in compromise. Sun resigned in favor of Yuan Shikai, who became President of the new national government in Beijing. Yuan's failure to establish a legitimate central government before his death in 1916 led to decades of political division and warlordism, including attempts at imperial restoration.

The Republic of China on the island of Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland both consider themselves the legitimate successors to the 1911 Revolution and honor the ideals of the revolution including nationalism, republicanism, modernization of China and national unity. In Taiwan, 10 October is commemorated as Double Ten Day, the National Day of the ROC. In mainland China, the day is celebrated as the Anniversary of the 1911 Revolution.

What is the “Dark Ages” of Europe? (To answer this question and meet the requirement of 100 words, consider the living condition
elixir [45]

Answer:

Because of the many invasions, it is more appropriate to refer to the Middle Ages as the "Dark Ages." The period under consideration saw a number of invasions. The Vikings were a well-known group of invaders that came from Scandinavia. Then, after robbing villages and bringing their treasure home, they would return to their homeland. They killed and set fire to innocent peasants and townspeople, causing widespread devastation. As a consequence of these assaults, many people were left homeless and starving. Those who were lucky perished in battle. It was also common for Vikings to abduct and transport innocent people to their homelands, where they would be forced to work as slaves. Another reason why the Middle Ages should be referred to as the Dark Ages was war.
