Answer:

A designed, mechanical system -- like a constantly functioning clock.

Explanation:

Newton explained the universe and its functioning in his landmark work, <em>Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy </em>(1687). He pulled together the work of other key figures of the Scientific Revolution. His organized theory of universal gravitation gave the impression of the universe as a mathematical system that functioned like clockwork. Newton and others of the Scientific Revolution saw God behind the design of this system, as the "great watchmaker" who designed the universe as a perpetual watch or clock that could run on perpetually in predictable fashion.

In the early years of World War I, which of the following demonstrated the US government’s commitment to winning public support

Eva8 [605]

The correct answer is C) the creation of a special committee to promote the war effort.

During World War I, the US federal government created an agency aimed at promoting the war effort. This campaign consisted of a significant amount of propaganda in the form of posters. These posters encouraged citizens to ration their foods so that soldiers would be able to eat, create victory gardens so that they rely less on businesses and farms for food, and buying war bonds in order to support the government financially during this time. This type of propaganda was highly effective during this era.
