In my opinion, the first amendment is the most important constitutional amendment. It is the amendment that gives us our freedoms, in religion/belief system, speech, assembly, press, and petition. The first English colony in Jamestown Virginia (1607) was founded because the English people were trying to escape religious persecution. English is the language that most Americans use today and proves to be a unifying force to our country. Thus, the original reason of the English for setting up colonies here can be argued to be freedom, which the 1st amendment was made to protect.
Answer:
A Land grant is made by a government or other authority as an incentive, means of enabling works, or as a reward for services to an individual, especially in return for military service. The Land grants accelerated the development of the railroad sytem by the land grant basically being a contract for labor, Therefore making others have to work on the railroad system, in return the more people the faster the railroad gets built. The faster the railroad gets built more money is being made and with that being said the more money being made means more railroads for the better ment of the Unites States. Thefore making traveling cargo much easier and just traveling in general eaiser.
Explanation:
Both were very large, both contained a multitude of different people and cultures.
2. Both were victims of their own success, that is they looked rich and looked very good for invasion when weak, and both in the end were destroyed by invaders from outside at times of strife.
3. In the end they both tried to reach too far and were stopped, in case of the Achamanids they invaded the Greek states, had huge problems in maintaining their invasions and supplying their forces, naval or land based. The same is for Romans when they were stopped by the Parthian “Persian” Dynastie, See battle of Carrhae. The Romans had no sea route to Persia and had to cross large tracts of land, their armies at the end of extremely long supply chains were defeated. And a lot of the time all the Persians had to do was cut of their supply routes, see the campaigns of Julian, or Mark Antony.
4. Both had great impact on their people’s lives and culture, be it religiously, linguistically or architecturally. See the use of large domes in buildings, a construction system innovated largely during the Parthian era. Religiously we can see the impact of ancient religions of the Persians on romans and consequently on Christianity, for example see “Mithraism” and its perpetuation from Persia into Rome, the disturbing similarities with Christianity. E.g. Mithra was called a “Son” of great god, had a virgin birth, walked among the people for a while, cured the sick etc.. died, was resurrected and then ascended into the heaven. What is interesting is that all Persians and Iranians celebrate the ascendant into heaven every year on March 20th which is very close to Easter. Nowrooz, is also celebrated in the republic of Azarbiegan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, all Kurdish states, and a number of other states. By the way the word “istan” which means “the land of” is the root word for the English word “State”.
