What is a sharp projecting edge of something?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The most important purpose of government as detailed in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is:

To establish justice.

Explanation:

The other purposes of government are secondary to the establishment of justice. The enthronement of justice ensures the realization of the other purposes. Without justice, the government will not be able to achieve any domestic tranquility. Without justice, the government will not be able to realize the common defense of all. Without justice, the government cannot promote the general welfare of the citizenry. Without justice, the government cannot secure the blessings of liberty. Therefore, justice is the fulcrum for the sustenance of the existence of every government. Otherwise, the government simply becomes a pack of cards, without meaning and order.

KIM [24]

Both countries were not receptive to the domination of Europe and America but Japan was less unyielding after witnessing the defeat of China in the Opium wars. The monarchy, the nobles, and the military were against the Western domination but the intellectuals, the peasants, and the workers were more open to the Westerners because of the prospect of new knowledge and opportunities for employment.<span />

What was the purpose of the new jersey plan?

vladimir1956 [14]

The purpose of the New Jersey Plan, proposed in June 1787, was to support the interests of the smaller states in the nation, in opposition to Virginia's plan, which argued for a powerful national government. William Paterson, the representative of New Jersey, presented the plan during the Committee of the Whole debates, which ran from June 16 to 19.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let us summarise in a few points the main differences between these two plans, which represent two opposing visions for the future of the United States.

The New Jersey plan defends a decision made by the states, the plan of Virginia defends that is the whole people who should decide thanks to the election of representatives.
The New Jersey plan wants the states to have all the same number of representatives in parliament, Virginia's plan is that larger states have more representatives than smaller ones.
The New Jersey plan prefers an executive power shared by several persons, Virginia's plan, the executive power in the hands of a single president.
The New Jersey plan wants state laws to pass the laws of the country, Virginia's plan that the laws of the country be superior to all others.

It is finally the plan of Virginia which is adopted with 7 votes against 3. So, the United States moves towards a centralized decision and powerful big states, with small states relegated to the background.

Neolithic Era Paleolithic Era City States in Mesopotamia The City State of Sparta and Athens in Greece Ancient Egyptian Empire 1

Sonja [21]

Answer: 1. Paleolithic Era

2. Neolithic Era

3. City States in Mesopotamia

4. Ancient egyptian Empire

5. The City State of Sparta nad Athens.

Explanation: History is divided in Periods: Pre-Historic Ages, Ancient History, Middle Ages and Modern Ages.

Pre-historic Ages dated, approximately, from 2.5 million years ago to 1200 B.C. and is categorized into 3 archaelogical periods: Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. <u>Stone</u> <u>Age</u> is divided into 3 more periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.

Paleolithic, roughly 2.5 million years to 10000 B.C., is the period when humans lived in caverns, were gatherers and hunters, cooking with controlled fire and used basic stone and bone tools. They also left behind art using animal bone and blood, mixture of charcoal, tree saps and carved small figurines from stones, clay and antlers.

Neolithic, rughly 8000 BC to 3000 BC, humans switched from gatherers to farmers, domesticating animals and cultivating grains. They used more polished tools and there was an advance in home construction and art.

Mesopotamia is a region of southwest Asia in the Tigris and Euphrates and is the beginning of civilization. Although humans settled in the Paleolithic Era, City States of Mesopotamia started to appear around 3200 BC. The first one is Uruk, a mud brick metropolis constructed with the riches from trade and conquest. At its peak, it had a population of 50,000 citizens.

Ancient Egyptian Empire was a civilization formed at the ancient North Africa, near the Nile river. It ruled for almost 30 centuries, from around 3100 BC to 332 BC. They were a preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean World. For its piramids and vast and rich culture, the Egyptian Empire made archaeologists and historians create a field of study all its own: <u>Egyptology</u>.

The City State of Sparta and Athens are two cities in the Greek Empire. Due to its terrain and proximity to the ocean, the Greek Empire created polis (city-state), which started about 750 BCE. Each polis were independently and often very different from one another. An example were Athens and Sparta:

While in the first, its population were dedicated to arts, architecture, literature, philosophy, science and history, Sparta were a militaristic population ruled by an oligarchy and two kings or a small group that practised political control.
