There were many reasons to build through Panama instead of Nicaragua:

1) Panama is reasonably much more smaller (See attached Pictures 1 & 2)

1.5) Smaller meant less work (effectively, but doesn't mean no work at all), as well as less time & money spent on the project

2) Panama was freed from Colombia rule with the help of the U.S., and so the rights to building the canal was awarded to the US.

What was one way the consuls were prevented from having too much power?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Consuls could veto each other’s decisions.

Explanation:

But, still as the Romans were afraid that the consul could take too much power for himself, they have decided to introduce two consuls, and through that to prevent this type of things from happening.

Which river was essential to the survival of the
patriot [66]
Just compare a river map of West Africa to a map of West African kingdoms.
You can clearly see that all of these kingdoms form around the Niger River.

More support to this: None of these other rivers are even in Africa: The Thames is in England, the Indus is in Pakistan, and the Euphrates runs through the Middle East.
