Generally, the ranges included in the Rockies stretch from northern Alberta and British Columbia southward to New Mexico, a distance of some 3,000 miles (4,800 km). In places the system is 300 or more miles wide. Limits are mostly arbitrary, especially in the far northwest, where mountain systems such as the Brooks Range of Alaska are sometimes included.

interpret three parts of declaration of independents ( preamble, grievance, and declaration) and identify the three Georgia sign

frozen [14]

Preamble is apart of the Indian Constitution. Grievance was a document written by the Stamp Act Congress and passed on October 14, 1765. Declaration is an statement or an announcement. Like the Declaration of Independence, it was a statement about rights and beliefs. Button Gwinnett, Lyam Hall and Georgia Walton, were the three Georgians who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Hope this helps, have a nice day :D

To behave ethically on the battlefield we first must ________.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

We must first define Ethical and Moral Standards for Warfare.

For thousands of years, War was seen as a means to an end, the winner takes all, and a social consequence where the winner is allowed to loot and murder.

However, Abrahamic religions such as Islam, brought the concept of a proper code of conduct for Soldiers and rules on how to interact with an Army that had lost a war.

Today, in our modern world, the United Nations has its own charter and a governing body which oversees what it calls War Crimes and crimes against humanity.

The UN has a perfect set of charter and code of conduct which define the moral conduct that needs to be followed by soldiers nowadays.

However, after the United States use of torture in Iraq without any international pressure, it seems like not many nations are still willing to accept a globally codified war code of conduct.
