The Roman Colosseum was started to be built in 70 AD, and it officially opened in 80 AD. The Romans wanted to increase their prestige, but also to make their people happy. One way of doing that was of building a huge Colosseum. The finished building was like an amphitheater, with seats around a central point. It was also used to hold meetings and other types of plays that didn't include fighting, like drama.

Have a nice day! :)

Jacksonian democracy promoted new methods of political campaigning. One such technique was mudslinging. What was its effect on t
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

An ambiguous, controversial concept, Jacksonian Democracy in the strictest sense refers simply to the ascendancy of Andrew Jackson and the Democratic party after 1828. More loosely, it alludes to the entire range of democratic reforms that proceeded alongside the Jacksonians’ triumph—from expanding the suffrage to restructuring federal institutions. From another angle, however, Jacksonianism appears as a political impulse tied to slavery, the subjugation of Native Americans, and the celebration of white supremacy—so much so that some scholars have dismissed the phrase “Jacksonian Democracy” as a contradiction in terms.

Such tendentious revisionism may provide a useful corrective to older enthusiastic assessments, but it fails to capture a larger historical tragedy: Jacksonian Democracy was an authentic democratic movement, dedicated to powerful, at times radical, egalitarian ideals—but mainly for white men.

Socially and intellectually, the Jacksonian movement represented not the insurgency of a specific class or region but a diverse, sometimes testy national coalition. Its origins stretch back to the democratic stirrings of the American Revolution, the Antifederalists of the 1780s and 1790s, and the Jeffersonian Democratic Republicans. More directly, it arose out of the profound social and economic changes of the early nineteenth century.

Recent historians have analyzed these changes in terms of a market revolution. In the Northeast and Old Northwest, rapid transportation improvements and immigration hastened the collapse of an older yeoman and artisan economy and its replacement by cash-crop agriculture and capitalist manufacturing. In the South, the cotton boom revived a flagging plantation slave economy, which spread to occupy the best lands of the region. In the West, the seizure of lands from Native Americans and mixed-blood Hispanics opened up fresh areas for white settlement and cultivation—and for speculation.

Which concept in an inherited element in the muslim belief system
scoray [572]

Answer:

The correct answer is Being Obedient to the will of God.

Explanation:

The basic concept of Islam is to accept the belief that God is one and there is no other God than ALLAH, and to accept the teachings and orders of God given to people through messengers. So it means a true Muslim must inherit the element of obedience in his own self. This is the basic concept of the Muslim Belief System. So Being Obedient to the will of God is the correct answer. Being submissive to ALLAH and do whatever the teachings of the religion are, are the basic concept of Islam. A true Muslim is an obedient man of the God.

Why did president franklin<br> d. roosevelt establish social security?
Maslowich

During Franklin D. Roosevelt's term, American was going through its worst economic crisis ever, which had left millions of people unemployed and without their life savings and retirement funding. The most vulnerable (the elderly and the disadvantaged) were affected the most, and consequently, very few Americans had a guaranteed income when they retired.

Being aware of this, Roosevelt established social security under the Social Security Act (1935) in order to provide relief for those people: the act first started giving financial benefits to retirees aged 65 and older and then it was extended to give financial assistance to the elderly in overall, disabled, dependents, unemployed and others disadvantaged Americans.
