Because if they are next to a stream it is easier to trade since the boat is faster than horses and caravans. And the water can help grow crops and the fish is a consistent source of food

That's survival 101. If you lived near streams you were guaranteed water. Also near streams the soil was rich was a key factor of agriculture. This was a key factor of life. If you look in todays world, most of the world population is found near bodies of water. Hope I helped. :)

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

D) I, II and III

Explanation:

i. Shelter Belts

Strong wind typically carry enough force to destroy the surface of the farm's land, which will accelerate the rate of land degradation. Usually, farmers put shelters belts at the edge of the farm to block such winds and prevent the soil degradation.

ii. No till farming

In this method of farming, Farmers avoid the use of tools that will destroy the composition of the soil (Such as shovel or rake). They plant the crops by creating as little disruption as possible to the soil to prevent soil degradation

iii. Animal graze over plowing.

Why federal government more expensive than unitary government

Lostsunrise [7]

It isn’t. (well, it isn’t supposed to be)

But then again, in the US we no longer have a Federal Government, but a pseudo Federal Government, that acts like, and is treated like, a unitarian government.

Over the last 80 to 100 years, and especially in the last 50, the separation between State and Federal duties, has all but been eliminated by Progressive ideology.

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.Federalist No 45

Because of the corruption of the Commerce Clause in Wickard v Filburn, and the General Welfare Clause, in Helvering v Davis, the Federal Government is now involved in the objects, that were supposed to be left to the States, and this has caused its budget to balloon out of control.

According to the information in the graphs, which revenue source supplied local governments with the largest percentage of funds

antoniya [11.8K]

The purpose was for Hammurabi (sometimes written "Hammurapi") to set down a reasonable and unchanging set of laws that addressed common problems in his kingdom. The code was especially important because, up until that time in history, there really were not any wide-spread laws that unified such a large group of people.
Before this, justice in many places would have been in the vigilante style, i.e. if someone in your small village steals your cow, it's most likely up to you and your family to go find it and then punish the perpetrator. The punishment for stealing might have been being lashed with a whip, for example, in one town and yet five miles away in another town the punishment was having a hand cut off. Under the code, everyone was eligible for the same punishments and fines no matter where they went. With one law from the king on down, there was less risk of being hanged or stoned for something relatively minor, or starting a never-ending feud between families over a disputed punishment
