Answer:

An iconic oil painting of the British surrender at Yorktown, now hanging in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, perfectly captures the partnership. As the grim, resigned British general at the picture’s center prepares to hand over his sword, he is flanked on one side by an array of Americans, underneath a waving Stars and Stripes flag—and on the other by French officers and volunteers, beneath the white and gold banner of France’s Bourbon monarchs.

Explanation:

Artist John Trumbull’s decision to portray the two forces as equal combatants against the British signals how much America’s founding fathers owed to the French in their battle for independence. The decision by Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier (better known as the Marquis de Lafayette) to leave France and enlist with George Washington’s forces is well-known to many. But Lafayette was only a prelude to massive French support, the forerunner of a deep relationship that proved vital to the revolution’s success. Here are five ways the French helped Americans win their freedom.

Summarize the purpose of the Preamble of the Constitution
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The preamble sets the stage for the Constitution (Archives.gov). It clearly communicates the intentions of the framers and the purpose of the document. The preamble is an introduction to the highest law of the land; it is not the law. It does not define government powers or individual rights

Explanation:

The function of the Preamble is to outline the goals of a united government as originally designed by the Framers. It also explains the purpose of the Constitution. The Preamble also establishes that power of the government comes from the people who live in the country and not from the people who are in power.

First it creates a national government consisting of a legislative, an executive, and a judicial branch, with a system of checks and balances among the three branches. Second, it divides power between the federal government and the states. And third, it protects various individual liberties of American citizens.

¿ Cuál es la importancia de los Hermanos Flores Magón
NISA [10]

Answer:Ricardo Flores Magón (nacido el 16 de septiembre de 1873 en San Antonio Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, México; fallecido el 21 de noviembre de 1922 en Leavenworth, Kansas, Estados Unidos), reformador y anarquista mexicano que fue un precursor intelectual de la Revolución Mexicana.

Flores Magón nació de padre indígena y madre mestiza. Se involucró en el activismo estudiantil mientras estudiaba derecho en la Ciudad de México. Fue encarcelado por primera vez en 1892 por liderar una pequeña manifestación contra la reelección del dictador mexicano Porfirio Díaz. Pronto se unió a un pequeño grupo de reformadores liberales, con quienes fundó la revista Regeneración en 1900. Flores Magón fue encarcelado dos veces por sus actividades radicales con el grupo, y el gobierno suprimió Regeneración en 1901. Tras su tercer arresto en 1903 por oponerse el gobierno de Díaz, Flores Magón y varios de los otros radicales huyeron a Estados Unidos. Después de sobrevivir a un intento de asesinato en Texas, Flores Magón se mudó con el resto del grupo a St. Louis, Missouri, donde establecieron formalmente el Partido Liberal Mexicano (Partido Liberal Mexicano; PLM) en 1905 y reanudaron la publicación de Regeneración. Flores Magón se convirtió en el líder más visible del PLM.

Aunque los funcionarios estadounidenses inicialmente vieron a Flores Magón como un problema mexicano, los agentes del gobierno de los EE. UU. Pronto compartieron un interés con los funcionarios mexicanos en procesarlo por sus escritos subversivos. Luego de campañas armadas del PLM y una crisis económica en 1907, el gobierno mexicano contrató al detective privado Thomas Furlong para capturar a Flores Magón con la esperanza de extraditarlo a México. Aunque Furlong pronto lo atrapó en Los Ángeles, el gobierno mexicano no pudo asegurar su extradición. En cambio, fue juzgado y condenado en Arizona por conspiración para violar las leyes de neutralidad y fue sentenciado a 18 meses de prisión.
