serious [3.7K]3 years ago

In selecting the four members of his first cabinet—Thomas Jefferson as secretary of state, Alexander Hamilton as secretary of treasury, Henry Knox as secretary of war, and Edmund Randolph as attorney general—Washington balanced the two parties evenly. But he leaned with especial weight upon Hamilton, who supported his scheme for the federal assumption of state debts, took his view that the bill establishing the Bank of the United States was constitutional, and in general favoured strengthening the authority of the federal government.

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson

Explanation:

Chosen by President Washington, Thomas Jefferson was America's first Secretary of State (March 22, 1790, to December 31, 1793). Jefferson managed to balance the country’s vulnerable geopolitical situation, combining caution towards expanding federal powers, and advocating for territorial and commercial development. In the war between Britain and France, Jefferson supported France, but his strategy was restrained by Washington’s inclination to neutrality.

lilavasa [31]

All of the following contributed to the failure of the Sepoy Mutiny except the numerical superiority of the British troops.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Sepoy Mutiny was a rebellious movement that was stirred when the British touched the culture of Muslims and Hindus. It all started when the Sepoy where asked to load 303 rifle manually by biting the cartridge at the end.  

The cartridge was greased with beef tallow and pig fat which caused a revolt because it was forbidden to touch pig fat for the Muslims and beef tallow was untouchable by the Hindus.

When India was under the British rule the British had enormous troops with well supplied war necessities. Hence the Indians were tormented.When people refused to load the gun 85 of them were imprisoned.They broke out the prison and killed all the Europeans they met in sight.

The root cause of the American Civil War is perhaps the most controversial topic in American history. Even before the war was over, scholars in the North and South began to analyze and interpret the reasons behind the bloodshed.


The scholars immediately disagreed over the causes of the war and disagreement persists today. Many maintain that the primary cause of the war was the Southern states’ desire to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and point to other factors, such as taxation or the principle of States' Rights.

In 2011, at the outset of the sesquicentennial, a Pew Research Center poll found that Americans were significantly divided on the issue, with 48% saying the war was "mainly about states' rights," 38% saying the war was "mainly about slavery," with the remainder answering "both equally" or "neither/don't know."
