Answer:

They looked at examples in history and in the writings of European political philosophers during the Enlightenment.

Explanation:

The American Revolution meant for the young American society a series of great intellectual and social changes, such as the new republican ideals that, debated by the "founding fathers" (politicians and intellectuals illustrated as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams or Thomas Paine) were assimilated by the population. The main political ideas for the formation of the new government came from the European philosophers of the Enlightenment like Locke, Voltaire, and Montesquieu, that inspired the American colonist to create a new democracy. These ideals emphasized political concepts such as division of powers, freedom of property, individual rights, freedom of market, federalism, equality, and anti-monarchy. Moreover, these ideas were rooted in historical examples like the ancient Greek democracy and the Roman Republic, which were taken into account by the American founding fathers as historical and cultural inspiration.

Q: why do you think the cuban government requires non-cuban businesses to hire and pay workers only through the government
zhannawk [14.2K]

The Cuban <em>'Código de Trabajo</em>' is the current law which since 2014 regulates how foreign businesses can hire Cuban staff.

In very exceptional cases, firms can hire workers directly but, in general, it has be done through public agencies known as 'hiring entities'. In fact, workers are employed by these entities, and not by the foreign enterprises. Wages are paid by foreign companies in CUCs (Cuban convertible currency) together with a compensation called <em>heberes.  </em>Then, the hiring entities pay the <em>haberes </em>to the employees in the Cuban local peso currency (CUPs).

Hence, hiring entities is a large source of funding for the Cuban goverment, as they receive full 'Western' wages, but only transfer the quantity called <em>haberes </em>to the employees, which is in line with the Cuban wage level. So they earn the difference as an income tax. Also, the public sector is able to control the population occupations in great detail through those agencies.

That would not have gotten the point across to the government. We needed a body count to make our point. Timothy McVeigh, on why
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

b. McVeigh was a domestic terrorist who had expressed hatred for the U.S. government and the military.

Explanation:

The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma on April 19, 1995, was a domestic terror attack by a right-wing terrorist Timothy McVeigh and his co-conspirator Terry Nichols, both ex-military. The idea was a result of McVeigh's discontent with the U.S. government about its foreign policy and its dealing with the 1992 Ruby Ridge incident and the 1993 siege of the religious sect's Branch Dravidians' compound in Texas.

More famously known as the Oklahoma City Bombing, the attack by McVeigh led to the deaths of more than a hundred people including children and more injured. He used a rental truck filled with explosives, parked it on the northern side of the building and the blast took out most of the north side of the whole building. And the most gruesome part of the bombing was that he detonated the bomb just when the day's business was starting, meaning that he had intended to hurt and kill as many lives as he can, justified by his statement <em>"We needed a body count to make our point"</em> and the intention of not attacking at night because <em>"there would be fewer people inside." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
