Answer:

both of these words were created and used way before the invention or idea of the automobile.

Explanation:

The main reason for these two words being used in the way that they are used in the modern world is that both of these words were created and used way before the invention or idea of the automobile.

Driveway was the first word to be used (Early 1800's) and referred to the piece of land next to a house in which people would pull up with their wagons in order to off-load any products that they needed to get into the house.

While Parkways referred to a wide road in a park in which many people could walk through at the same time. As time went by, these words were appropriated with similar modern day uses.

Mashutka [201]

To your first question--James Madison is widely known as the architect of the US Constitution (Although in reality it was the result of team work by 56 delegates).
To your second question--The six key principles outlined in the US Constitution are:

1. Popular Sovereignty (i.e. democracy or rule by the people)
2. Limited Government (i.e. again, democracy or the government can only do what the people instructs it to do)
3. Separation of Powers (there are three branches of power: legislative, executive, and judicial AND they are separate from each other)
Which brings me to...
4. Checks and Balances (each branch "checks and balances" the other two branches' power. For ex: the US President can veto congressional bills, Congress can ratifies judicial nominees, and the Supreme Court decides on the constitutionality of congressional bills).
5. Judicial Reviews (the judicial branch reviews governmental actions)
6. Federalism (there is a federal and a state government. These are separate from each other)

6 Benefits of NAFTA

1. Quadrupled Trade.

2. Lowered Prices.

3. Increased Economic Growth.

4. Created Jobs.

5. Increased Foreign Direct Investment.

6. Reduced Government Spending.

USMCA.

Quadrupled Trade

Between 1993 and 2019, trade between the three members quadrupled from $290 billion to $1.23 trillion.5 6 That boosted economic growth, profits, and jobs for all three countries.7 It also lowered prices for consumers.

. Lowered Prices

Lower tariffs also reduced import prices. That lessened the risk of inflation and allowed the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low.

Increased Economic Growth

NAFTA boosted U.S. economic growth by as much as 0.5% a year.18 The sectors that benefited the most were agriculture, automobiles, and services.

Created Jobs

Some sources say that NAFTA exports created 5 million net new U.S. jobs.27 Most of those jobs went to 17 states, but all states saw some increases. U.S. manufacturers added more than 800,000 jobs between 1993 and 1997. Manufacturers exported $487 billion in 2014. It generated $40,000 in export revenue for each factory worker.

Increased Foreign Direct Investment

Since NAFTA was enacted, U.S. foreign direct investment (FDI) in Canada and Mexico has more than tripled to $500.9 billion. In 2017, U.S. investors poured $391.2 billion into Canada and $109.7 billion into Mexico.2524 That boosted profits for U.S. businesses by giving them more opportunities to develop and markets to explore.

Reduced Government Spending

NAFTA allowed firms in member countries to bid on all government contracts.29 That created a level-playing field for all companies within the agreement's borders. It cut government budget deficits by allowing more competition and lower-cost bids.

USMCA

Despite these advantages, the United States, Mexico, and Canada renegotiated NAFTA on Nov. 30, 2018.30 The new deal is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. (USMCA) Mexico ratified the agreement in 2019. The agreement was signed by Donald Trump on Jan. 29, 2020. Canada's Parliament ratified it on Mar. 13, 2020.
