Q. Below is a statement from a historical document. How does the modern political system in the United States uphold the principles expressed in this statement?

"A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Options:

by allowing federal judges to impeach members of Congress

by allowing the president to impeach members of Congress

by allowing the Senate to impeach the president

Answer:

by allowing the Senate to impeach the president

Explanation:

The above is stated in the declaration of independence of 1776. The founding fathers aimed to protect the rights and liberties of every individual.The third US President, Thomas Jefferson stated that government derives it's power from the people and if there is a government that doesn't protect the people's rights and tends towards tyranny, the people have the right to remove such government. In the modem political system of the US, the Senate can remove a government/president that becomes illegitimate as it doesn't respect and protect the rights of the people.

What role did chartered companies play in the british domination of india
geniusboy [140]

A chartered company is an association formed by investors or shareholders for the purpose of trade, exploration, and colonization.

The East India Company evolved from a small enterprise run by a group of City of London merchants, which in 1600 had been granted a royal charter conferring the monopoly of English trade in the whole of Asia and the Pacific.

The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600, coming relatively late to trade in the Indies.  

The East India Company  was established in 1600 as a joint-stock company with a monopoly of the trade to and from the East Indies. Its political achievements form a large part of the history of the British Empire, and its economic power was enormous, contributing substantially to the national wealth and causing the company to be the centre of most of the economic controversies of the 17th century. The company ended up seizing control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonized parts of Southeast Asia, and colonized Hong Kong after a war with China.

By 1803, at the height of its rule in India, the British East India company had a private army of about 260,000—twice the size of the British Army, with Indian revenues of £13,464,561, and expenses of £14,017,473. The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions. Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 and lasted until 1858, when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj.
