After the colonies declared their independence from the crown they joined together to form one country, however each state was self governing.

In order prevent infighting and animosity between them it was sought to create a single unified government.  With that in mind, every state sent a delegate to meet in a convention to plan how this was to be done, the result of this convention was the creation of the first government in the United States in 1781 under the "The Articles of the Confederation".

This new central government proved to be weak and ineffective and failed to prevent infighting between states over land boundaries and taxes.

As such it was sought to create a stronger federal government to overcome the deficiencies the first government had.  

After many meetings and discussions, on September 17th 1787, during the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, the United States Constitution was finally signed.

Since the mid-1970s, how has class inequality in the united states changed?
Blizzard [7]
The correct answer is <span>increased due to decreasing tax rates for the wealthy and stagnating salaries for the middle class

Most of the wages have only slightly increased while the earnings and wealth of the upper class and the big elites had increased drastically because of many tax cuts. People believed that through tax cuts the people would get more money because the companies could give them higher salaries, but it backfired as big companies hoarded extra money.</span>

Is a secular outlook on the world an essentially modern phenomenon, or does it have precedents in the second-wave era?
Pepsi [2]
It seems like we have a number of precedents in the past as well. <span>For example Confucianism is a popular philosophy found in Chinese culture, looking at the teachings given by the Confucius it seems it had more of a practical and worldly approach than religious, the reason why Chinese elite were struck by the phenomenon. Another example is of Greek rationalism from where even the modern Western philosophy and secular thoughts seem to emerge. According to this religion had its own dominion separating scientific and philosophical issues. Similarly, legalism can be another example.</span>

High rates of species extinction caused by human activity have taken place at which of the following times in Earth's history?I.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

At the end of the permian period

Explanation:

The Permian–Triassic extinction event, also known as the P–Tr extinction, and as the Great Dying, formed the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, approximately 252 million years ago. It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct. It was the largest known mass extinction of insects. Some 57% of all biological families and 83% of all genera became extinct. Because so much biodiversity was lost, the recovery of land-dwelling life took significantly longer than after any other extinction event, possibly up to 10 million years. Studies in Bear Lake County, near Paris, Idaho, showed a relatively quick rebound in a localized marine ecosystem, taking around 2 million years to recover,suggesting that the impact of the extinction may have been felt less severely in some areas than others.
