One of the main ways they were similar was in their form of government. Both Athens and Sparta had an assembly, whose members were elected by the people. Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office.

Answer:
It was a conflict that involved England and Prussia on one side; on the other, France, Austria and Russia. The dispute spans America, Europe and India. In the English colonies of North America it is known as the War against the French and Indians, as armies on both sides involved indigenous tribes in the struggle.
The English victory was sealed with the Treaty of Paris, whereby France ceded Canada, the Ohio Valley and part of the Antilles to the English, but retained Haiti, Guadeloupe and Martinique; for the Spaniards, who assisted the French in America, France delivers the west of Mississippi, while the Spaniards give Florida to the English.
To win the war, British Prime Minister Willian Pitt dumped troops and money on the colonies. As a result, military spending was high; To rebalance the budget, the British impose heavy taxes on American settlers, which is considered to be one of the immediate causes for the start of the United States independence movement.
Allow me to do better than offer "a speech that Theodora <em>might hav</em>e given."
The following is a record of the speech she <em>actually did give</em> to Justinian in AD 532, when the riots had broken out in Constantinople.
The speech was recorded by the historian (AD 500-565), probably on the testimony of one or more of the royal advisors who were present. Procopius recorded Theodora's words in chapter 24 of his <em>History of the Wars </em>(published AD 552). Here's what he said Theodora said to Justinian:
- <em>As to whether it is unseemly for a woman to be bold among men, or to be daring when others are full of fear, I do not think that the present crisis allows us to consider the matter. For in extreme danger the only vital thing is to deal with the situation in the best way. For my part, I consider that now of all times flight would be bad, even if it brings safety. Once a man is born he cannot escape dying, but for one who has held the imperial power it would be unbearable to become a fugitive. May I never be parted from this purple, and may I never live to see the day when men who meet me will not address me as their sovereign. If you wish to be saved, Emperor, that is not difficult. We have great resources of wealth; there is the sea, here are the boats. But take care lest when you have saved yourself you wish that you could have death instead of your safety. I agree with the old saying, “Purple is a good shroud.” </em>
Answer:
This excerpt most represents the fundamental principle of Option B: checks and balances.
Explanation:
The balance of powers between the different branches of government are described in this passage from the US Constitution. While the passage most focuses on the power of the executive branch, meaning the president and his appointees, it also describes how the Senate has to consent to treaties by two thirds and that the Senate also provides advice and consent on other executive appointments. The excerpt describes how Congress has the power to decide who should appoint lower officers in the government representing another check and balance to executive power.
