<span>A commission had been sent to France in 1797 to discuss the disputes that had arisen out of the U.S.'s refusal to honor the Franco-American Treaty of 1778.President Adams had criticized the French Revolution, so France began to break off relations with the U.S. Adams sent delegates to meet with the French foreign minister Talleyrand in the hopes of working things out. Talleyrand's three agents told the American delegates that they could meet with Talleyrand only in exchange for a very large bribe. Tallyrand's agents told them that Tallyrand requested a $250,000 bribe and that France can get a loan of $12 million. The Americans did not pay the bribe. </span>
Socialization
The process that teaches norms, values, and other aspects of culture to society's members is known as:
Federal Government > State Government
The rationale for this is that we live in a global world and need collective responses to global challenges. Instead of there being a Utah response and a Virginia response to the need for more STEM graduates, there should be a US response. Economies of scale also come into play. It can cost less and be more efficient to have resources centralized.
State Government > Federal Government
America was founded after a revolution rejected a strong central monarchy and America needs to continue to honor that by allowing citizens in Utah to have different approaches than Virginia. When convenient, the states can choose to collectively band together on issues like defense but that should be the exception and not the rule.
Both the Mayans and the Aztecs developed advanced calendars and had an understanding of astronomy.
