The US Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation. True or False?

What parallels do you see between the role of thinkers, scientists, and artists in ancient Rome and in America today? Why do you

exis [7]

I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.

Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.

And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.

And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.

Determine whether each description applies to the royalists, roundheads, or both

Rom4ik [11]

-Puritans and member of lower classes: The roundheads

-Supporters of Charles I: The royalists (also known as "Cavaliers")

-Fought in the English civil war: Both of them (They were the main two sides on the civil war)

-Wore richly decorated clothing: The royalists (Even though this wasn't the prime objective, they became well known for this)

-Led by Oliver Cromwell: The roundheads.

-Were aristrocats: The royalists

-Emerged victorious in the civil war: The roundheads.

Explanation: The English civil war was a series of three main armed and political conflicts. Before the English civil war and it's outcome, the Parliament of England hadn't had a big influence on the goverment system. In fact, the Parliament didn't have the authority to make any desition and their role was only to advice the King and only after the monarch himself summoned them and even more important, the King had the power to disolve it at his will. This was due to the belief that the monarch is designated by God and, therefore, he's the only one capable of ruling his land.

This historical context provoced that some members of the society, specially puritans and lower class members, started to look for a change. The objective was simple: to give the Parliament the authority to participate and make desitions. They suported the Parliament and the idea of having a role on the goverment desitions, they started to repudiate what they considered to be "royalist" or courtly fashion (to wear decorated clothing, the use of long ringlets, etc.). For this reason they decided not only to wear their common clothes but also to closely crop their hair, therefore,<em> this people, whose leade was Oliver Cromwell, were called "roundheads"</em> by some higher classes in an act of derision.

On the other hand, the royalists supported the King (Charles I) and the idea of absolute power for the monarch, most of them were aristrocats. Both sides adopted the nicknames given by the other side, nicknames that were originated from the mockery ("Roundheads" and "Cavaliers")

The outcome of the civil war was:

- The execution of King Charles I.

- The exile of the King's son.

- The monarch can't gover without the Parliament consent.
