What were Roman accomplishments in art and architecture?

Darina [25.2K]

Roman art refers to the visual arts made in Ancient Rome and in the territories of the Roman Empire. Roman art includes architecture (duh), painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered in modern terms to be minor forms of Roman art,[1] although this would not necessarily have been the case for contemporaries. Sculpture was perhaps considered as the highest form of art by Romans, but figure painting was also very highly regarded. The two forms have had very contrasting rates of survival, with a very large body of sculpture surviving from about the 1st century BC onward, though very little from before, but very little painting at all remains, and probably nothing that a contemporary would have considered to be of the highest quality.

Ancient Roman pottery was not a luxury product, but a vast production of "fine wares" in terra sigillata were decorated with reliefs that reflected the latest taste, and provided a large group in society with stylish objects at what was evidently an affordable price. Roman coins were an important means of propaganda, and have survived in enormous numbers.

The amendments that lowered the voting age to eighteen and gave women the right to vote were

artcher [175]

Answer:

<h2>The Nineteenth Amendment and the Twenty-sixth Amendment</h2>

The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.
The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

Context/details:

19th Amendment

The 19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War. The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.

26th Amendment

During the 1960s in America, protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country. Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.

The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971. It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.

The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Did the Industrial Revolution bring about more changes than the Age of Democratic Revolutions.

kap26 [50]

Hello Emarkley!

“The term ‘industrial revolution’ refers to the shift of an economy from one in which most of its production is agriculturally based to one based on the mechanized manufacturing of goods in large-scale enterprises.”

This causes:

– increased productivity and per capita incomes

– the movement of people from rural to urban areas

– substation of machine power for human labor in many kinds of work

The first industrial revolution began in England in the mid to late 1700s. Signs of industrialization were evident in New England beginning in the early 1800s but dramatic shifts did not occur until after the civil war.

Three major causes for the shift in the U.S.:

– development and improvement of coal-powered steam engines (1769), which was more powerful than former power sources being humans, wood and water

– mechanized ways to produce textiles

– coal powered furnaces that mass produced iron

The industrial revolution created a new class – the capitalists – the owners of the factory plants and other physical means of industrial production. Also creating a new class of industrial workers who were employed at these factories.

The industrial revolution took major roots during and post Civil War. “Congress in the 1860s enacted a series of legislative measure that encouraged industrialization and economic development, including new protective tariffs, banking reforms, and support for a transcontinental railroad.” Additionally, demands from the war stimulated the growth of industries to produce war time products. (18)

Post civil war was more of a 2nd Industrial Revolution. Two major developments spurred this change:

completion of national transportation and communications networks (canals, roads, steamships and railroads, telegraph, telephone) including the construction of a nationwide railroad networkuse of electricity as a source of power (major asset to urbanization)

Between 1860 and 1916 the percentage of city dwellers jumped from 10% to 50%

“Rapid industrialization raised the question of whether America’s republican ideals could survive in a meaningful way, whether industrial growth contributed positively or negatively to American’s society, and whether political and economic institutions needed to be reformed in response to the changes sweeping America’s economy.” (21)

Pros:

– labor saving devices

– more consumer goods

– skyscrapers

– declinging prices in industrial products

– opportunity for workers and capitalists

– growing population

– increased average life expectancy

– trend toward lower working hours
