Answer : It was on a major trade route between Europe and Asia. Constantinople, the Empire's capital, was one of the main hubs of the Silk Road (a major trade route spanning much of Asia), as well as being located on the Bosporus, the only sea route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Explanation:As for the other options:

1) It was not on an island, the empire mostly spanned Greece and Turkey. Its location was not unknown by its enemies either, the Byzantines were frequently attacked by Muslim emirates and kingdoms in modern-day Bulgaria and Serbia.

2) It was not surrounded by many friendly nations, the empire was at war with enemies on both sides of its frontier for much of its history - the main religion was Greek Orthodoxy, so neighbouring Catholic and Islamic states wanted to conquer it.

3) It did not control almost all the area of the former Roman Empire, it only controlled parts of the eastern section of the Roman Empire. The only exception to this was during the reign of the Emperor Justinian, who succeeded on conquering a large chunk of the western half. However, these territories were soon lost after his death.

Ad libitum [116K]

James Madison's theory treats freedom of expression as an intrinsic feature of democracy. In this way you should not use the pretext of "defense of democracy" to silence a man because you disagree with him, even if he is a fascist.

We can cite as evidence the power relationship between the king or president and the people. Freedom of expression does not exist for the tyrant to be silenced, but for him to speak and we can answer him.

Weakened by subsequent and frequent attacks, and cut-off from international trade of salt, gold, and other important things, the kingdom was vulnerable and unable to prevent defeat. In 1240 C.E., Ghana was conquered and absorbed/added into the growing nation of Mali, which would soon become the next great empire.

After Mansa Musa died, his son Maghan took the throne. Maghan was a weak ruler. Raiders from the southeast poured into Mali. Mali neverfully recovered from the attack. The Malian Empire continued to weaken and decline after.This soon lead to the uprise of the new empire Songhai,which would be the new and powerful empire after Mali had fallen.
