hat is popular sovereignty? Why was this an important new idea at the time of the Constitution was written?

1 answer:

3 0

Popular Sovereignty is the idea that power comes from the People. Prior to the Constitution, Power came from a King, Queen, or special class (nobility or priests). Power was concentrated within one person. The idea that a common person had the same rights as one from a noble class was revolutionary and went against all the teachings of the day. The idea that common people had the power to overthrow a ruler for being corrupt was even more revolutionary. The Constitution was often referred to as the "Grand Experiment" because none of the Founding Fathers were sure if it would actually work.

How has globalization made countries more independent,

zysi [14]

Globalization is the process by which countries of the world are becoming more interconnected through common processes of economic, environmental, political and cultural change. This increasing interconnectedness has paved the way for economic and social growth which emphasises the independence of nations experiencing this type of growth. Countries who once were silent or did not have a voice on the global stage can now hold their own thanks to globalization.

If you had a choice of what type of reproduction you would use to take over the planet which one would it be

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: Asexual

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria. Many eukaryotic organisms including plants, animals, and fungi can also reproduce asexually. In vertebrates, the most common form of asexual reproduction is parthenogenesis, which is typically used as an alternative to sexual reproduction in times when reproductive opportunities are limited.
