Answer:

Explanation:(a) Social Causes - On the eve of the revolution, the French society was ridden with several inequalities. The clergy and the nobles led a life of luxury and enjoyed numerous privileges. On the other hand, the peasants and workers lived a wretched life. They groaned under heavy taxes and forced labour. The middle-class comprising of lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc also suffered humiliation at the hands of the clergy and the nobles. This state of social inequality was the chief cause of the French Revolution.

(b) Political Causes - Emperor Louis XVI of France was an empty headed despot. He and his queen, Marie Antoinette, squandered money on their luxurious living and wasteful festivities. The high posts were often auctioned, so inefficiency reigned supreme. The whole administration was corrupt and each department had its own laws. In the absence of any uniform system there was confusion all around. The people were tired of such a rotten system of administration and wanted a change.

(c) Economic Causes - France had been continually involved in wars which had broken her economy. The luxurious life led by the French King Louis XVI and his queen had made the matter still worse. The people groaned under heavy taxes. The system was so faulty that only a fraction of the taxes could be realized as the people were too poor to pay the taxes while nobles and the clergy who could pay, were completely exempted from all the taxes. The economy became so bad that the French Government had almost reached a state of bankruptcy. Thus the shattered economy of France proved a major cause of the Revolution.

(d) Immediate Cause - Forced by financial bankruptcy, Emperor Louis XVI was compelled to call a meeting of the Estates General in 1789 A.D. after a lapse of 175 years. It generated much excitement as the members of the Third Estate were determined to put forth their problems. But when the first two Estates i.e. the Clergy and the Nobility refused to have a common meeting with the Third Estate, the people lost their temper. They had already suffered much in the severe famine in 1788 - 1789. In this way the calling of the

Scrat [10]

Well, an epic is a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating and adventures of a heroic figure (like Hercules, Beowulf) when you think of an epic just try to remember myths and legends. And with that, I do not think D or C are the answer just due to epics aren't making fun of their culture and the pov (point of view) doesn't change during an epic or story for that matter it gets confusing. Also with answer, A, not every epic has an enchantress so I believe B is the correct answer.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The Federal Government consists of three different branches:

-On the one hand, the executive branch is in charge of the administration of the country's resources and the application of the laws passed by Congress. This branch consists of the President, the Vice President and the Executive Cabinet. The executive branch controls the legislative branch through the veto power of the President, who can determine that a law sanctioned by the Congress does not become valid; and the judicial power through the proposal of who are the candidates to become judges of the Supreme Court.

-The legislative power consists of the Congress and its function is to enact the laws that will govern life in society in the nation. It is also in charge of controlling the executive power through the approval of certain acts of the President by the Senate, and in turn the judicial power in conjunction with the executive branch through the holding of political impeachments to certain officials.

-The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court of the United States and lower courts at the Federal level, and its function is to interpret the Constitution of the United States and the other laws of the nation and to sanction those who fail to comply with said regulations. Through the interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court exercises a constitutional control of the acts of both the President and the Congress.

Why did Alexis de Tocqueville travel to the United States?

OverLord2011 [107]

The main reason why Alexis de Tocqueville traveled to the united states was to observe American democracy in action, and to take note of what worked and what didn't, as many European countries were going through democratic revolutions of their own.

So, the third one.
