The correct answer is statement A.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 resulted in an increased tax on more than 20,000 goods that were imported from other countries. The goal of this tariff was to protect American businesses and to encourage American citizens to made products made in the US. However, this actually ended up hurting the US.

Identify and explain two outcomes of the implementation of the Phoenician alphabet on the Mediterranean region leading up to the

Marina86 [1]

Are you sure your question is correct? Because it is not chronologically logic. The implementation of the phoenician alphabet happened around 200 years after the collapse of the Bronze Age (c.a. 1200-1100 BC).

The collapse of the Bronze Age was one of the causes for the creation and success of Phoenician commerce, activity by which this civilization is famous for. It is not clear why, but around 1200 BC many civilizations suddenly ended. This vacuum of power created a new independence for many cities which made possible a new commerce system. Phoenicians traded with Mesopotamians, Greeks, and Egyptians. They had trading routes that reached Spain, the Atlantic Ocean and Britain. Trading lead to intercultural exchanges, so Phoenicians knew many types of writing, which they simplified to create their own alphabet (c.a. 1000 BC) based on sounds instead of symbols.

The phoenician alphabet was used to organize their colonies and trading contacts on the Mediterranean region. As this alphabet was simpler, writing was no longer limited to clergymen or scribes. It also influenced Greek alphabet which inspired the latter roman alphabet.

Ann [662]

U.S failure to assent to the League of Nations effectively made the League of Nations weak and ineffectual. This is because although England and France were powerful, the U.S also had enough military muscle that would have made the league powerful and prevent the threat of conflict

Answer:

(C) fear that Hamilton's ideas could concentrate power within an elect group

Explanation:

The development of the "Republican Party" occurred as response to the program/ financial plans which Alexander Hamilton proposed, which concentrated the power to the federal government (an elect group).
