History

The correct two items:

  • limited government
  • protection for individual liberties

Those two ideas are tied together.  The United States was founded on the idea of protecting individual liberties, which the American colonists felt were being infringed by Great Britain's government.  In the <em>Declaration of Independence, </em>that purpose for forming the new nation was stated -- that to secure the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, a government is established by the consent of the governed.

So, the Constitution of the United States sought to protect individual rights.  The closing words of the Constitution's Preamble assert that the Constitution was being established to "promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."   The Constitution then follows, outlining and limiting what the powers of the government would be, so that the government always was existing for the sake of "the general welfare" and "the blessings of liberty."  The founders did not want the government to become self-serving or achieve a level of power that allowed it to trample on individual liberties.

16. Who did not benefit greatly from the Industrial Revolution?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. Craftspeople

Explanation:

Impacts of Industrialization

As factories expanded to manufacture things other than textiles, the process of making goods became highly mechanized. And as machine production replaced handcrafts, the level of skill required to manufacture items went down. Operating a machine in a factory took far less skill than making something by hand. As a result, manufacturing products' manufacturing process became cheaper, allowing the middle classes to buy more consumer products. Along with this, however, the wages for working-class laborers dropped and some trades had a difficult time competing with machines. When factories and machines replaced workshops and handcrafted work, tradespeople became workers. As workers tied to an employer, they were forced to accept lower wages for less-skilled jobs. This shift from skilled to unskilled labor made it difficult for workers to demand better working conditions and pay since factory workers were easy to train and easy to replace. This meant that workers could do little about their low wages or the difficult working conditions in the factories.  

Working conditions in factories were incredibly harsh. Workdays were often as long as 16 hours with very few breaks. Factory conditions were uncomfortable and unsafe. With all the machines running, room temperatures could become very hot, and the conditions were crowded. Working the machines could be hazardous, and injuries and even deaths were common. And, despite all these risks and poor conditions, the wages were quite low.

46 Points!!!! What was the impact of the Middle Passage and Triangular Trade on African, American and English societies? Explain
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The major impact of these things was, of course, on the Africans who were taken from their homes and taken to the New World as slaves.  These people experienced terrible physical conditions aboard the ships on the Middle Passage.  They experienced terror and heartbreak.  Many of them died in the passage and those who did not experienced the trauma of being enslaved in an unfamiliar land among people who were not their own.  This was a terrible impact and it is the most important impact, in human terms, of the Middle Passage and the Triangular Trade.
