Answer:     The desire to prove oneself and to be accepted by peers

Explanation:  Since he was teased by his classmates because he was small for his age, John had a desire to prove himself, as was everyone else. This means that he has reached out to a group that has accepted him and is using drugs. This fact that another group uses drugs can often be evidence of success with peers. Especially those who were teased about some peer deficiencies to be proof of success and acceptance.

Also, the fact that he uses drugs, unfortunately, can allow John to be accepted more than he would otherwise be if he had not had some disadvantage, low growth, etc.

Choose the statement from the following choices that best describes the separation of powers. A. Powers and duties of the United
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, Powers and duties of the United States Government are divided among the three branches of government.

Explanation:

Separation of powers means that the duties of government are divided among different parts of the Government. The purpose of this system is to make sure that power is not held by the central government only and is properly distributed among all the branches to serve all aspects of the society.

In the US system, there are three branches of federal government between which the power exists. The Executive Branch is the president and their staff including the Cabinet. The Legislative Branch is the two houses of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The third branch is the Court with the Supreme Court at the head and district level courts throughout the country.

Each branch has separate roles and each branch can check the power of other one.

How would you describe the character of Julius Caesar and what brought about his fall
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Julius Caesar was a smart, brave, ambitious, and megalomaniac. He had many positive qualities that made him a succesful, powerful, and popular man, but also some flaws that ultimately contributed to his downfall.

Explanation:

He was smart because his military intelligence allowed him to defeat many enemies, including those in Gauls. He was ambitious because he concentrated lots of power in himself. He was megalomaniac because he wanted to end the Republic and become dictator for life.

This last aspect is what brought his downfall. He gained the repulsion of most of the Senate, who deemed him to be an existential threat to the Roman Republic, and a public danger, so much that they plotted to kill him, and succeeded in doing so.
