Answer:

First because Washington, D.C. was the capital city, and second because the slave trade was not seen as a good thing by the eyes of the foreign.

Explanation:

England was the first country in the world to free its slaves (in 1826), and then it began to compelled other countries to follow the example. But the United States did not make this until the 1860s, and slave trade was common in American cities. In Washington, D.C., however, as the capital city, it was something bigger. It was the center of the abolitionist campaign, but this was in contrast with the slave trade and slave markets.

What's A good introduction about lelin and Stalin

pav-90 [236]

Lenin believed in "pure communism" a lot like Karl Marx -the founder of communism- while Stalin was not. Stalin basically wanted to take over Russia -he was thought to be worse than Czar Nicolas- Stalin is believed to have murdered the Czar and also was bit of a '"rule-breaker" considering pure communism had no religion because it was false hope but Stalin allowed it to control the people. Stalin would murder people aginst communism and used the KGB to control people. Now back to Lenin, Lenin was aginst the war (the whole communism thing took off after WW1) and Lenin saw that after the war was a great time to carry on Marx's work (Marx passed away shortly after the war) Lenin was a great speaker and really knew how to "get the crowd going" .

The correct answer is C. Provide a steady labor supply for early colonists

Explanation:

The Encomienda system was a labor and slavery system mainly used in South and Central America during the colonization period.

Moreover, natives grew crops and took care of the land, which benefited mainly Europeans and in exchange, natives were instructed about catholicism. This system was mainly inhumane as indigenous people were forced to work in difficult conditions, but it was beneficial to colonizers because in this way they had a constant labor supply to earn profits.

evablogger [386]

The correct answer is:

D. The Constitution provided for a strong central government with an elected executive, powerful legislature and the appointment of judges; the Articles provided only for a legislative branch.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first form of Constitution in the United States after the 13 colonies gained independence from Britain. Under the Articles of Confederation the central government was weak, it controlled mostly foreign affairs but had no power over states' relations. The Articles of Confederation paved the way for the Constitution of 1787 , when the members of the Constitutional Congress realized they needed to create a new form of government instead of fixing the already existing one.

The Constitution focused on creating a strong federal government, but prevented the abuse of its power by creating an executive and a judicial branch, and a bicameral legislature replacing the old legislature that the Articles of Confederation had.
