Answer:

More people were killed than in any previous war.

Explanation:

The second half of the nineteenth century had witnessed a profound transformation of the basic weapon of the infantryman: the rifle. Of the load by the mouth, which forced the soldier to stand, he went to the backload, which allowed to load lying down. From the waxed paper cartridge, the compact metallic cartridge was reached; from the round bullet, to the pointed bullet. To this the bolt, the percussion by needle and the cordite, the gunpowder without smoke added, that, therefore, did not give away to the handle. The principles of portable weapons of the twentieth century were served.

The need to have a weapon with greater firepower in the attacks forced the evolution of the machine gun. This is how the light machine guns emerged, in the case of the American BAR of 1917, or the submachine guns (lighter than a rifle), such as the German Bergmann of the following year, the MP18.

One of the main problems of the infantry in the trench warfare was overcoming the dense wire fences parallel to the enemy lines, which could occupy a surface of up to 30 meters in width. British Colonel Ernest Swinton was struck by an idea when he saw a tractor pulling a cannon: maybe he could crush the barbed wire and carry the cannon to shoot. Churchill became a defender of the new weapon, which would be built in secret. The first specimens were packed as "tanks" of water, hence the name.

Answer: I would write something on the basis of "following the Constitution."

Explanation:

The Constitution lays down a foundation for each citizens' rights, and limits the government from infringing on these rights. It also keeps the government confined to what was said in the constitution, but allows We, the People to amend it. Our First Amendment freedoms allow us to express our opinions freely, no matter how crazy or extreme they might be; our Second Amendment allows us to form militias, and bear arms against any threat, foreign and domestic. It was designed not only to allow We, the People to defend ourselves from petty criminals, but allows us to defend ourselves and our freedoms from any tyrannical government that may arise in the States. The other Amendments in the Bill of Rights also keep the government from expanding, but it is all too complicated too explain here.
