Why India?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Five reasons ranked, why India would be attractive.

1. Very large population since ancient times - this simply means: more people to extract taxes from, since the main goal of an empire is to conquer many lands and ethnicities, in order to take economic resources from them.

2. Strategic geographic location - India has access to both sides of the Indian Ocean, and it can connect the Middle East with Southeast Asia, this is very important for trade.

3. Central location for trade - as said before, India is almost in the middle of Asia, and it is a central place for many trade routes between East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

4. For defensive purposes - a neighboring country may feel that India is a threat, and decide to simply conquer it.

5. Prestige - India was an ancient, diverse culture, and ruling India, being the Emperor of India, will always be a prestigious position.

3.  Explain which reason you think was most important and why you think that.

The most important reason is the large population. India has been one of the most populated countries since anciet times because the land is very fertile. More people = more taxes, and the main goal of an empire is to take taxes from the people that it rules.

Question 25
Vsevolod [243]

The serious difficulty for the national government under the Articles of Confederation is "It lacked the authority to raise money to support itself ".

<u> Explanation: </u>

The Article of Confederation gave away most of the power to the state and federal government had only limited control over the state. Particularly this article made a power less national government during the American Revolution.  

The American states were of the opinion that if the strong national government is there in the central means it may affect the autonomy of the states.

So the states were strongly objected to the formation of strong central government and felt that the most decision making power should be with them.

The downfall of The Article of confederation was simply because it has no power to make laws to control the states.
