History
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
5 0
Thomas Paine (1737–1809) was a radical writer who emigrated from England to America in 1774. Just two years later, early in 1776, Paine published Common Sense, a hugely influential pamphlet that convinced many American colonists that the time had finally come to break away from British rule. In Common Sense, Paine made a persuasive and passionate argument to the colonists that the cause of independence was just and urgent. The first prominent pamphleteer to advocate a complete break with England, Paine successfully convinced a great many Americans who'd previously thought of themselves as loyal, if disgruntled, subjects of the king.

Correct answer:

<h2>B. Security Council</h2>

Historical details:

When the United Nations was formed in 1945, the five permanent members assigned to the UN Security Council were the nations which had been victorious in World War II:  The United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the Republic of China.   Essentially, those same five remain the permanent members of the Security Council today, except that, since 1971, the People's Republic of China has been recognized by the UN as the legitimate government of China; and since the USSR dissolved in 1991, the Russian Federation has been recognized as the legal successor state, with UN and Security Council membership.

At the present time, there are also 10 additional seats on the Security Council for non-permanent member nations, which are elected to the Security Council by the UN General Assembly for two-year terms.

The powers of the Security Council include establishing peacekeeping operations and authorizing military action.  The Security Council also has authority to impose sanctions against nations.

Complete the list of actions taken by the delegates of the First Continental Congress.
stepladder [879]

The correct answer is D) The Congress then wrote a statement of complaints to George III, not Parliament, called the Declaration of Rights and Grievances.


The First Continental Congress met in 1774 and they sent a Declaration of Rights and Grievances. This Declaration was a way to let the British Parliament know that they were equal to British citizens and they would respond to the British Coercive Acts - also known as Intolerable Acts -. It was on this declaration that the motto “taxation without representation” was written and because of that, the taxes that were imposed to the colonies without their consent were considered unconstitutional.
