The city of Galveston adopt the commission system of government because city government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The commission system of government consists of a legislative body which takes the responsibility of imposing and collecting taxes. Apart from this there are commissioners assigned for roles like public works and safety.

This was done to ensure a mix of legislative and executive mix of governance. This originated in Galveston, Texas after the hurricane in 1900. Before implementing this system, it was first tested and later implemented. This was followed by other cities taking up this system.

Rome, at its peak, ruled:
umka2103 [35]

the entire Mediterranean world

Explanation:

  • At the beginning of the third century BC, Roman economic policy was in stark contrast to that of the Hellenistic world, especially Egypt.
  • The economic policies of Greece and Egypt have slowly become highly regulated, depriving individuals of their freedom to seek personal profit in production or trade, crush them under the heavy burden of taxation, and forcibly organize workers into huge collectives where they were like bees in a huge hive.
  • The later Hellenistic period was a time of near-constant war, which, along with rampant piracy, closed the seas for trade. The result, predictably, was stagnation.
  • Stagnation created weakness in the Mediterranean countries, which partly explains the ease with which Rome could continually expand its domain, beginning in the third century BC.
  • By the first century p.n.e. Rome became the undisputed lord of the Mediterranean. Yet peace did not follow the Roman victory, as civil wars ensued.
