"Trade has some relation to forms of government. In a monarchy, it is generally founded on luxury; and though it be also founded

on real wants, yet the principal view with which it is carried on is to procure everything that can contribute to the pride, the pleasure, and the capricious whims of the nation. In republics, it is commonly founded on economy. Their merchants, having an eye to all the nations of the earth, bring from one what is wanted by another. . . . This kind of traffic [trade] can hardly be carried on by a people swallowed up in luxury, who spend much, and see nothing but objects of grandeur."

Answer:

The statement is describing the usual difference in trade policy that exists between monarchies and republics.

Explanation:

The excerpt comes from the Spirit of the Laws, by Montesquieu, who was a French philosopher who promoted republicanism and liberalism.

In the text, Montesqueiu is explaining than in monarchies, trade is very restricted, and is usually only allowed for luxury goods like perfums, spices, or silk clothes, because these goods are used by the nobility as a symbol of their power and status.

In monarchies, for the rest of the population, trade is restricted. The common people therefore cannot access goods from abroad, or can only do so at a very high cost.

In republics, Montesquieu says, trade tends to be more open. Merchants become the ones who do most of the trade, guided by their economic ideas. The merchants therefore obtain many goods from abroad, that both the nobility and the commoner can acquire for a lower price.

In conclusion, Montesquieu is using the argument for trade as another reason to support republics over monarchies.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The Arizona Leathernecks is a Motorcycle Club formed in 2000 by exmarines who share a bond forged by a love for their Marine Corps, families, brotherhood, and their love of riding motorcycles. They believe themselves to be the defenders of the constitution and as such honor the ideals of democracy, fairness, faith, and freedom. They believe that these values along with the basic concept of right and wrong are the cornerstones in building Marines and it is these concepts and values that their members are held to, and that serve as the core of their clubs beliefs and By-Laws.

2. Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

3. Patrick Henry

4. The Bill of Rights consists of 10 amendments that explicitly guarantee certain rights and protections to US citizens by limiting the power of the federal government. The First Amendment prevents the government from interfering with the freedoms of speech, peaceable assembly, and exercise of religion.

5. In July 2005, the Westboro Baptist Church declared its intention to protest at the memorial service of Carrie French in Boise, Idaho. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment, hence, hate speech is not regulated due to the robust right to free speech found in the American Constitution.

6. Brandeis reasoned that the rights of free speech and assembly are fundamental, yet they are not absolute. Their exercise is subject to restriction when free speech would produce, or is intented to produce, a clear imminent danger of some substantive evil to the society.

7. Gideon was charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit a misdemeanor, which is a felony under Florida law. At trial, Gideon appeared in court without an attorney. In open court, he asked the judge to appoint counsel for him because he could not afford an attorney. The trial judge denied Gideon’s request because Florida law only permitted appointment of counsel for poor defendants charged with capital offenses.

8. After the Miranda decision, the nation's police departments were required to inform arrested persons or suspects of their rights prior to custodial interrogation. Such information is called a Miranda warning.

9. Jessica Ahlquist an activist and public speaker filed a lawsuit in 2012 against Cranston High School West, where she was a student, to remove a religious prayer from its auditorium.

10. Thomas Jefferson

11. The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The Free Exercise Clause protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a "public morals" or a "compelling" governmental interest.

How did portugal and other european nations challenge spanish power brainly?
aleksley [76]
There is a number of ways that Portugal and other European nations tried to challenge Spanish power:

1. illegal trade with Spanish colonies - given that Spain forbade any nation to trade with their colonies in the Americas, they had to do it illegally, without Spanish knowledge. Smugglers had a special role in this given that they did most of the work

2.  pirates - these nations tried to do everything in their power to diminish the authority Spain had in the Americas. This is why they resorted to privateers - that is just a fancy name for pirates who preyed on Spanish ships in order to steal their treasure
