Answer:
They had just won their independence, so they weren't involved in European affairs due to the limited power they had and their focus on their country's stability.
Explanation:
The Revolutionary War had ended in 1783, and Congress haven't made an official leader named, nor enforced order in the country, so there was little chance they had enough authority to be recognized in European countries and were weakened from the war.
Answer/Explanation:
Church gradually became a defining institution of the Roman Empire. Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 proclaiming toleration for the Christian religion, and convoked the First Council of Nicaea in 325 whose Nicene Creed included belief in "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church". Emperor Theodosius I made Nicene Christianity the state church of the Roman Empire with the Edict of Thessalonian of 380.
After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, there emerged no single powerful secular government in the West. There was however a central ecclesiastical power in Rome, the Catholic Church. In this power vacuum, the Church rose to become the dominant power in the West. The Church started expanding in the beginning 10th century, and as secular kingdoms gained power at the same time, there naturally arose the conditions for a power struggle between Church and Kingdom over ultimate authority.
In essence, the earliest vision of Christendom was a vision of a Christian theocracy, a government founded upon and upholding Christian values, whose institutions are spread through and over with Christian doctrine. In this period, members of the Christian clergy wield political authority. The specific relationship between the political leaders and the clergy varied but, in theory, the national and political divisions were at times subsumed under the leadership of the Catholic Church as an institution. This model of Church–State relations was accepted by various Church leaders and political leaders in European history.
The classical heritage flourished throughout the Middle Ages in both the Byzantine Greek East and the Latin West. In the Greek philosopher Plato's ideal state there are three major classes, which was representative of the idea of the "tripartite soul", which is expressive of three functions or capacities of the human soul: "reason", "the spirited element", and "appetites" (or "passions"). Will Durant made a convincing case that certain prominent features of Plato's ideal community were discernible in the organization, dogma and effectiveness of "the" Medieval Church in Europe.
Apollo teased Eros (Cupid) about shooting his bow and arrows. Cupid in his anger came up with a mischievous idea. He flew up a mountain with two arrows. One of gold and one of lead. The gold one would make the victim fall desperately in love with whomever they saw next. The lead one would freeze a heart, and the person could/would not love.
Eros spied the lovely nymph Daphe, and shot her with the lead arrow. She ran to her father, a minor river god. She begged him to allow her to remain chaste and unmarried. He loved her very much but was deeply saddened by this. He granted her wish though.
A small bit of time later Eros saw Apollo walking nearby and so he struck him with the golden arrow, causing the god to fall madly in love with poor Daphne.
He began to chase her but since she had been with Artemis's hunters and was a nymph (not human) she was able to just barely evade him.
She cried out to her father for assistance, and he granted her her wish to remain alone. He turned her into a Laurel tree.
Apollo cried and kissed the bark repeatedly but the lovely nymph was already gone. He took down some of the branches and wore a Laurel crown so he could always have his 'love' with him. And then it became his sacred tree.
It later became a important Grecian symbol, often of power, knowledge, and/or Apollo's favor.
