Answer:

Article VII, the final article of the Constitution, required that before the Constitution could become law and a new government could form, the document had to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states. Eleven days after the delegates at the Philadelphia convention approved it, copies of the Constitution were sent to each of the states, which were to hold ratifying conventions to either accept or reject it.

Explanation:

This approach to ratification was an unusual one. Since the authority inherent in the Articles of Confederation and the Confederation Congress had rested on the consent of the states, changes to the nation’s government should also have been ratified by the state legislatures. Instead, by calling upon state legislatures to hold ratification conventions to approve the Constitution, the framers avoided asking the legislators to approve a document that would require them to give up a degree of their own power. The men attending the ratification conventions would be delegates elected by their neighbors to represent their interests. They were not being asked to relinquish their power; in fact, they were being asked to place limits upon the power of their state legislators, whom they may not have elected in the first place.

helpp How are patrician & lower class families similar (Hint: Who is the head of the family?) 6. How are patrician girls &am

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1. How are patrician and lower class families similar?)) The patricians were any member of a group of citizen families who formed a privileged class in early Rome. The patricians were the wealthy upper class, who owned land and held political power. The plebeians were the working class without substantial wealth. (the head of the family is/were paterfamilias)

2. How are patrician girls and slaves similar/How are Roman women and plebeians similar?))

((woman)) Roman women had a very limited role in public life. They could not attend, speak in, or vote at political assemblies and they could not hold any position of political responsibility. ... Typical jobs undertaken by such women were in agriculture, markets, crafts, as midwives and as wet-nurses.

((plebeians)) They protected some basic rights of all Roman citizens regardless of their social class. Eventually the plebeians were allowed to elect their own government officials. They elected "tribunes" who represented the plebeians and fought for their rights. They had the power to veto new laws from the Roman senate. (Roman women cannot vote, but plebeians now can. in the early stages of Roman, plebeians had very few rights aswell)

3. How does the social class impact the type of food eaten?)) In contemporary Western society, social class differences in food consumption follow a general pattern.

How did the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address redefine the Declaration of Independence?

slega [8]

Answer:

Gettysburg Address: On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered remarks, which later became known as the Gettysburg Address, at the official dedication ceremony for the National Cemetery of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, on the site of one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the Civil War. Though he was not the featured orator that day, Lincoln’s brief address would be remembered as one of the most important speeches in American history. In it, he invoked the principles of human equality contained in the Declaration of Independence and connected the sacrifices of the Civil War with the desire for “a new birth of freedom,” as well as the all-important preservation of the Union created in 1776 and its ideal of self-government.

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
