The answer is d : as they traded with others they would influence them with there cultures and beliefs.
Sparta was focused on military training, and Athens on academics. Maybe you ran into Socrates the philosopher in Athens, and he started asking you odd questions. Or perhaps you noticed children being matched out of Sparta as you entered, possibly to be made to (if the rumors are true) fight wolves in the wilderness. You likely noticed the red plumes on Spartan helmets, and the blue on Athenian ones if any.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What were the most important effects of the American Revolution?
The most important effect of the Revolutionary War of Independence was precise that the 13 colonies won the war and in doing so, the colonies became independent from the British government. A new nation had born: the United States of America.
In looking at the things that did and didn't change after the American Revolution, what does that tell us about the Founding Fathers' reasons for declaring independence, and their vision for the new United States?
The founding fathers were right. They had the vision to draft the Declaration of Independence because they knew Americans were capable to establish a new form of government that really served the interests of the American people, not the English crown.
That is what the founding fathers had in mind when Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence with the help of other prominent founding fathers such as Benjamin Franklin, River Livingstone, Roger Sherman, and John Adams.
The correct answer is B.
Milton Friedman (1912 - 2006) was an economist who received the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics for his studies in consumption analysis, monetary history and complex theories related to stabilization, including goverment intervention policies.
Presidents such as Hoover or Coolidge, who had governed in the decade before the Great Depression, supported laisez-faire economic measures, that consisted on free functioning of the markets with minimum goverment interventionism. Markets alone, would produce the most efficent outcomes, according to his viewpoint. Therefore, the policies introduced by these governments, involved minimum government regulation of the economic activity by the goverment.
<u>This is why Friedman, such as many others, claimed for alternative policies which involved goverment intervention for stabilization purpouses, using the mechanisms of the fiscal policy.</u> Subsequent goverments did apply such measures, being the best example the New Deal, based on Keynesian economics and implemented by President Roosevelt. The New Deal aimed to create job positions for the large unemployed sectors of the US population, by increasing public expenditure (one of the variables of the fiscal policy) in public works and hence, creating employment to undertake those works.
