In any case, the Byzantine Empire managed to survive after the decline of the Western Roman Empire due to a number of advantageous circumstances. ... Combined with a lack of mass Germanic migration into their territories, the Eastern Roman Empire was thus in a much better position to survive the collapse of the Empire.

What event happened first in history?

8_murik_8 [283]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be A). the epic poem Beowulf was written.

____________________________________________________

According to your question, the event happened first in history was the epic poem Beowulf was written.

____________________________________________________

The epic poem Beowulf:

The Beowulf, a poem, was written around 975-1025 AD. It is known for being one of the world's oldest epic poem to survive, also being written in the English Language.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why the epic poem Beowulf was written would be your answer because based on all of the answer choices in the question, the Beowulf would be the oldest things among all of the answer choices. It is one of the world's oldest surviving poems that was written in the English Language, that's how old it is. There is many replicas of the poem, but the real one was made a long time ago.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

Answer choice B). the population of Europe peaked is INCORRECT because:

The population in Europe peaked at around the 1600s, meaning that the population started to grow tremendously in the 1600s. This event happened hundreds of years after the Beowulf poem was written. So this is why this answer choice will be eliminated.

Answer choice C). the Hanseatic league formed is INCORRECT because:

The Hanseatic league was an organization that was formed in 1358, that was about 200-300 years after the Beowulf poem was written. This organization was known for protecting trades for places like North Germany, and other merchant communities.

Answer choice D). The Canterbury Tales was written is INCORRECT because:

The Canterbury Tales were written between 1387 and 1400, which a couple hundred years after the Beowulf poem was written.

When you see the trend, all of the other answer choices occurred AFTER the writing of the Beowulf poem, and there is a couple hundred year difference between the other answer choices and the Beowulf poem.

Explain what the great compromise was? <br><br> Help me please

grin007 [14]

Answer:

July 16, 1987, began with a light breeze, a cloudless sky, and a spirit of celebration. On that day, 200 senators and representatives boarded a special train for a journey to Philadelphia to celebrate a singular congressional anniversary.

Exactly 200 years earlier, the framers of the U.S. Constitution, meeting at Independence Hall, had reached a supremely important agreement. Their so-called Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth) provided a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population. In the Senate, all states would have the same number of seats. Today, we take this arrangement for granted; in the wilting-hot summer of 1787, it was a new idea.

In the weeks before July 16, 1787, the framers had made several important decisions about the Senate’s structure. They turned aside a proposal to have the House of Representatives elect senators from lists submitted by the individual state legislatures and agreed that those legislatures should elect their own senators.

By July 16, the convention had already set the minimum age for senators at 30 and the term length at six years, as opposed to 25 for House members, with two-year terms. James Madison explained that these distinctions, based on “the nature of the senatorial trust, which requires greater extent of information and stability of character,” would allow the Senate “to proceed with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom than the popular[ly elected] branch.”

The issue of representation, however, threatened to destroy the seven-week-old convention. Delegates from the large states believed that because their states contributed proportionally more to the nation’s financial and defensive resources, they should enjoy proportionally greater representation in the Senate as well as in the House. Small-state delegates demanded, with comparable intensity, that all states be equally represented in both houses. When Sherman proposed the compromise, Benjamin Franklin agreed that each state should have an equal vote in the Senate in all matters—except those involving money.

Over the Fourth of July holiday, delegates worked out a compromise plan that sidetracked Franklin’s proposal. On July 16, the convention adopted the Great Compromise by a heart-stopping margin of one vote. As the 1987 celebrants duly noted, without that vote, there would likely have been no Constitution.
