The countries the Britain conquered and we ruled those countries
The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.
A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.
This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.
If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.
Answer:
- For the most part, early hunter-gatherers were nomadic
- Early humans lived in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in tents
- An achievement of early humans was the mastery of fire
Explanation:
The early humans had much different life than the humans of the Neolithic and even more than the modern day humans. These humans had only several achievements, mostly the mastery of fire, creation of simple shelters, and creation of tools and weapons from stone. Their prime concerns were getting food and safety. The food was obtained through hunting of animals and gathering of certain plants. This meant that they had to have nomadic lifestyle in order to have enough food to survive, and their migrations were dictated by the migrations of the animals and the seasons. This was putting the early humans at big risk constantly, as there were lot of predators that were able to take them down with ease, such as big cats, canids, ancient bears, hyenas, and even the animals that they were hunting were extremely dangerous, especially the mastodon and mammoth. In order to be safer and more effective in getting food, they lived in groups, and were spending the nights in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in retractable tents, usually located at good locations for defending.
Answer:
Their theories are different because Lamarck thought that organisms changed out of need and after a change in the environment and Darwin thought organisms changed by chance when they were born and before there was a change in the environment.
Explanation:
Napoleon continued the French Revolution first by resisting the external threats to the Revolution. Namely Great Britian and other European states who felt threatened by the Revolution and who sought to replace the new government by putting another Bourbon king on the throne. He also continued the Revolution by supporting the government itself. As he gained power he continued the reforms to the government and law that the Rvolution had started, and did so in such a just manner that his model would be used throughout Europe in the future. He also made the French government a meritocracy, where it was one's ability that determined to what rank and position you could rise, rather than the accident of birth.
On the betrayal side, Napoleon's biggest action was in accepting the role of Emperor. He in effect turned back the clock to claim a royal title in a nation that had rejected the idea of royalty. He would also go on to award noble titles to his best and loyalest supporters, as well as placing family members on European thrones in nations he had beaten. He also betrayed the Revolution in his conquests of other nations. This was partially a defensive measure against the intrigues of those nations, and partially an attempt to fulfill his own ambitions to earn the title he had bestowed on himself. But in doing so he condemned a generation of Frenchmen and youth to a life of constant warfare, left the economy of France hanging precariously in the balance as it tried to support his war needs and fight Brithish embargoes, and bled all of Europe of men.
Most likely Machiavelli would approve of Napoleon. Napoleon had ambition, nerve, ability, and a willingness to do what must be done to gain and maintain his position. Napoleon did so and managed to retain the love and loyalty of most of France's citizens throughout most of his reign.
