What were the results of the 5 Year plans on peasants' lives and on agricultural production?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The five-year plans resulted in a very low agricultural community, which caused widespread famine and death among the peasants.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union imposed the collectivization of its agricultural sector between 1928 and 1940 during the rise of Joseph Stalin. This collectivization was made through the five-year plans, which represented a policy aimed at consolidating individual properties and labor in collective farms.

The Soviet leadership hoped that replacing individual peasant farms with collective ones would immediately increase the supply of food for the urban population, the supply of raw materials for the processing industry, and agricultural exports.

Planners regarded collectivization as the solution to the agricultural distribution (especially grain delivery) crisis that began in 1927. This problem worsened as the Soviet Union advanced its ambitious industrialization program.

Despite expectations, collectivization led to a catastrophic fall in agricultural productivity, which did not return to levels reached by the NEP until 1940. In the early years of collectivization, it was estimated that industrial production would increase by 200% and agricultural production by 50%. But those expectations were not met. Agricultural productivity was very low, causing a major crisis in the country's countryside, causing widespread famine and death among several peasants.

2. What are two changes made to Texas's constitution while Texas was part of the Confederacy?
Rudik [331]

Explanation:

In many ways, the U.S. and Texas Constitutions are similar documents. They both embody the principles of representative democratic government, in which sovereignty emanates from the people. Both contain a bill of rights that protects civil liberties from government infringement… both provide for a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives and a Senate… both seek a system of checks and balances and separation of powers between legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government… and both divide government power between upper and lower levels of government. In the U.S. Constitution the states are subordinate to the federal government, and in the Texas Constitution the counties are subordinate to the state government. But beyond these general features, the two constitutions could not be more different. These differences result from the fact that the two documents arose out of very different historical circumstances and for radically opposite complaints with the document each was meant to replace. With the U.S. Constitution, the problem with the earlier Articles of Confederation was that government was too decentralized and not powerful enough. The U.S. Constitution was designed to overcome these weaknesses and offer a degree of centralization and increased government power. But this is precisely what the Texas Constitution was designed to reverse and avoid. The framers of the U.S. Constitution wanted to enable government action; the framers of the Texas Constitution wanted to paralyze government action.

Length and Language

Whereas the U.S. Constitution is brief and vague and thus allows the federal government to broadly interpret the constitution and claim implied powers to meet specific public policy challenges, the Texas Constitution is long, detailed, and contains many statutory provisions that specify precisely what the government is allowed to do…or not do. When public policy challenges arise, Texas’ public officials do not have the option of interpreting the constitution in a manner that would allow them to deviate from the specific language of the document. Instead, public officials must amend the constitution if they wish to act outside of the detailed language set forth in the basic law. The location of language in each document is also revealing. Whereas specific civil liberties in the U.S. Constitution are mostly listed in amendments known as the Bill of Rights, a Bill of Rights forms the very first article of the Texas Constitution.

The Executive Branch

One point of interest, however, concerns the chief executive’s power to veto bills passed by the legislature. The line-item veto in the Texas Constitution allows the governor to veto specific items contained within appropriations bills passed by the legislature. At the federal level, however, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the line-item veto unconstitutional, arguing that it violates the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. The fact that the Texas Constitution provides for a line-item veto demonstrates an affinity for limited government and limited spending, even if it comes at a cost of granting power to the governor in a way the rest of the constitution is designed to avoid.

The Legislative Branch

In Texas, however, detailed restrictions on tax and spending policies significantly restrict what state legislators are actually allowed to write into law. For example, legislators are constitutionally forbidden from implementing a tax on personal income or allowing the state government to go into debt, and the constitution mandates that specific percentages of the state budget be spent on specific policy areas, most notably for public schools and universities as stipulated in Article 7. Furthermore, the U.S. Congress is a full-time, professional legislature that meets annually; members of Congress make their living as elected officials. But the Texas legislature is a part-time, non-professional legislature that meets every two years for 140-day sessions. The constitutionally mandated salary of $7,200 per year compels members of the Texas legislature to earn a living outside politics.

What event played a major role in spread of communism and fascism in Europe
agasfer [191]
Any particular time? I guess the most relevant time for this question is early half of 20th century.
 I think the event was first world war and some of its consequences (in many countries the monarchy was abolished so people "experimented" with new political organisatons, in Germany the war brought huge reparations which contributed to the deterioration of their economy)

and the global economic crisis of 1920

According to social theorist randall collins, getting a "piece of paper" is more important to many than actually having the know
Stells [14]

The answer is credentialism. These are any of a number of connected development involving amplified demands for formal educational experience, and the deflation of these qualifications. In Western society, there have been rising requirements for formal qualifications or certification for jobs, a procedure called credentialism that is not easily differentiated from professionalization.
