Many people help the president manage the business of the executive branch. His most important advisers are the members of the Cabinet. Over the years, the size of the Cabinet has changed. George Washington's first Cabinet had just four secretaries. There was one each for the departments of (1) Foreign Affairs (now known as the Department of State), (2) the Treasury, (3) War (now known as the Department of Defense), and (4) an Attorney General.

The modern Cabinet has fifteen heads of departments, as well as a number of other important officials. Secretaries of Agriculture, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, and Homeland Security are among some of the other Cabinet members.

Answer:

The first Cabinet of the United States was created by President Washington in 1787, with the objective that its members collaborate with the president directly, giving him a greater capacity for analysis and reaction to the problems affecting the country.

To do this, Washington appointed Thomas Jefferson (Secretary of State), Henry Knox (Secretary of War), Edmund Randolph (Attorney General) and Alexander Hamilton (Secretary of the Treasury) in his Cabinet.

Today, in addition to the officers who occupy the positions named above, the Cabinet has other members, which gives this consultative body a much greater scope. Today, in addition to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense (former Secretary of War), the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, the Cabinet of the United States is composed of the Vice President, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Is augustine wrong to argue that humans have a distinct human nature?

frez [133]

Augustine's starting point for his account of the relationship between men and women is the story of the creation and Fall found in Genesis 2-3.

In Genesis 2: 18 God says “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” From this Augustine concludes that Eve is made to be Adam's helper. He further deduces that her primary role must be procreation as (in his view) a male companion would be better for every other task. Better for physical labour (stronger) better for conversation (more in common).

'If it were not the case that the woman was created to be man’s helper specifically for the production of children, then why would she have been created as a “helper”? Was it so that she might work the land with him? No . . . a male would have made a better assistant. One can also posit that the reason for her creation as a helper had to do with the companionship she could provide for the man . . . . Yet for company and conversation, how much more agreeable it is for two male friends to dwell together than for a man and a woman! . . .

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cerebral palsy is a motor neuron disease that mostly affects the children of years 3-5. Spastic contraction is a state in which the muscles are contracted causing stiffness.

That, in turn, affects the normality of movements of the person. Cerebral palsy causes Spastic contraction with the affected person. The Spastic Contraction is due to the absence of communication between the upper and lower motor neurons.

They send signals to the organs of the body to do actions. Thus the upper neurons are responsible for the actions and lower neuron supervises the movement of the face, arms, throat, etc.

The actions like walking or chewing from the upper neurons sent to the lower neurons. The interruption of the signal or communication will result in spastic.
