The answer is that the states had power to enforce national laws. The Articles of Confederation didn't have an executive branch established.
Answer:
- the US has a trade surplus with Ghana
- the US has a greater purchasing power parity (PPP) than Ghana
Explanation:
The US and Ghana have very good relations in multiple sectors, and one of those sectors is the economy. The two countries have been having a constant increase in trade between each other, and the trend keeps on going, with each year bringing in more and more trade between the two. The US has a trade surplus with Ghana, as it exports more to it than it imports, though it is not some very dramatic difference. The main reason why the US has a trade surplus is that it has much more to offer to Ghana, than what Ghana has to offer to the US. Also, the US enjoys a greater PPP, having a much stronger currency, economy, and thus purchasing power, so it can acquire anything that Ghana has to offer to do if needed.
Answer:
The Roman Empire was once a superpower. Back in the days of the early 2nd century, Emperor Trajan stretched the kingdom's territory to its maximum. After that, how to secure the frontier had become an issue that all the future emperors had to address. Because most of those emperors were not nearly as capable as Trajan, the Roman Empire was soon in trouble. By the 3rd century, the situation had grown so bad that this once formidable powerhouse was at the brink of self-destruction. During the period from 235 A.D. to 284 A.D. (often called the crisis of the third century, the military anarchy, or the imperial crisis), more than two-dozen emperors came and went. Out-of-control inflation brought the economy to its knees. And foreign tribes continued to harass the borders. Just as things could not get worse for the Roman Empire, relief finally arrived. In November of 284 A.D., Diocletian, a forceful Roman general, seized power and declared himself the new emperor. One of his earliest orders was to split the Roman Empire in two. He kept the eastern part and gave the western half to his colleague, Maximian. Diocletian's decision was bold but practical. He figured that the Roman Empire had simply grown too big over the years to be managed effectively by a single person. In 285 A.D., he named his trusted military friend, Maximian, as a Caesar or a junior emperor, while he himself was named an Augustus or a senior emperor. The following year, Diocletian promoted Maximian to be his equal, so both men held the title of Augustus and ruled the split Roman Empire side-by-side. Diocletian chose the city of Nicomedia (modern day's Izmit, Turkey) to be the capital of his Eastern Roman Empire, whereas Maximian picked Milan to be the capital of his Western Roman Empire. With the kingdom broken into two, Diocletian and Maximian were each responsible for fighting the enemies in their respective territory. As it was no longer necessary to stretch the troops across the entire empire, it was much easier to put down the rebels. Diocletian's daring experiment paid off handsomely. By 293 A.D., Diocletian decided to go a step further and resolve the issue of succession once and for all. That year, both of the senior emperors handpicked their own Caesar. Diocletian chose Galerius, and Maximian selected Constantius. Galerius and Constantius were like apprentices. They did not sit idly waiting for the two senior emperors to die or to retire. Instead, they were each given a sizable territory and had their own capital. Galerius resided at Sirmium (in today's Serbia), and Constantius camped at Trier (in today's Germany). Diocletian called this new power structure tetrarchy or "rule by four."
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. The Arab Spring protests reflected global cultural diffusion because they relied heavily on global communication technology to succeed.
The role that the Internet played in these revolutions and social networks is being widely discussed among those who defend it as a great cause of the revolts and who cite it simply as a change in the media and never as a profound cause. In any case, the rapid communication through the Network has served to have their own characteristics, such as spontaneity and the clear absence of leadership. In the Egyptian case, in addition, Internet was revealed so important that it was banned by the government along with mobile phones and, a few days later, to the Al Jazeera television network, which was broadcasting 24 hours on the Internet. However, the Egyptians have been able to communicate through ruses and old technologies such as fax.
