Edward Rutledge was the <em>youngest of the signers of the </em><em>Declaration of Independence</em>. He was reluctant to support the independence, at first, and prefered a reconciliation. In his understanding, it was not the right time. He thought that slaves with guns could bring bad results. Concerning votes for the independence, he<em> didn't want to vote</em>, but, since the resolution would continue, he asked for the <em>vote to be recast.</em>

In four or more complete sentences, explain how Australia’s geography has influenced the country’s culture, particularly its fol
KatRina [158]

If we imagine a giant island, full of different ecosystems, reliefs, hydrographies, climates, we imagine that in every region of that country, perhaps the only cultural element that all Australians have in common is the language (we do not english variations of small villages, former aborigene towns). Each geography, vegetation, climate, directly influences people's way of life, in a concept of adaptation. Art, music often, and in that particular setting, in Australian folk music, is considered a music that portrays a more peaceful Australian lifestyle. Letters related to feelings, elements of nature, with the sensations of what they saw and felt of nature around them. We are talking about a country with a diverse geography. If we talk about climate, we can see two clear examples: The climate of Sydney's tropical summer heat, and the cold snowy climate in Falls creek. The way of life and the vision of events influence when it comes to composing a song, or what kind of instrument can be used, depending on each subculture of that country.

What was the breakin at the Watergate Hotel and why did it go from a seemingly insignificant burglary to nationally televised an
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The question refers to the Watergate Affair.

Explanation:

The Watergate affair is a term that denotes a series of political scandals during the presidential term of Richard Nixon. These events would lead to the resignation of this president on August 9, 1974.

The scandal began when five burglars who broke into the office of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel in Washington on June 17, 1972 were arrested. The investigation was initially conducted by the FBI and later passed into the jurisdiction of the Watergate Committee, which was formed by the Senate. The investigation revealed that this burglary was just one in a series of illegal activities that included intimidation, political espionage and sabotage. Nixon's staff and people loyal to him were responsible for this. Among the illegal actions was the use of money of suspicious origin that came from Mexico, which was used, among other things, to silence seven participants in the June 17 burglary.

After two years of investigation against the president, it was established that he knew about the tapes that were recorded during the wiretapping of the Democrats. Seeing that he was threatened with impeachment, Nixon resigned ten days after the end of the investigation. Nixon's successor Gerald Ford signed a pardon for Nixon after he handed over the presidency.
