Explanation:
The profit motive is the driving force of American economy because it:
*forces business owners to exercise financial discipline
*encourages entrepreneurs to take rational risks
*rewards innovation by letting creative companies grow
Mercantilism created competition between companies, states, and countries. My teacher once gave me the example of a tree cutter making tables. It was about who makes the most profit.
The fall of the Mauryan Empire is closely related to the death of Emperor Ashoka. After he passed away, the empire had trouble controlling their financial and economic issues. They also did not have the correct military to protect their empire, so this is how the empire fell.
The U.S. Constitution established America’s national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington. Under America’s first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries. At the 1787 convention, delegates devised a plan for a stronger federal government with three branches–executive, legislative and judicial–along with a system of checks and balances to ensure no single branch would have too much power. The Bill of Rights–10 amendments guaranteeing basic individual protections such as freedom of speech and religion–became part of the Constitution in 1791. To date, there have been a total of 27 constitutional amendments.
