The role of a vassal was to pay homage to a knight.

Homage was a special ceremony of allegiance. A vassal was in a subordinate position, pledging his loyalty and homage to the knight he served. A vassal could give "fealty" -- a lesser oath of loyalty -- to more than one lord. But "homage" was a personal relationship of loyalty to one specific "liege-lord." The knight or lord would be the "liege-lord" of the vassal.

Feudalism was a complex system of relationships between people of different classes. The king stood at the top of the complex system, and nobles were viewed as holding their lands in exchange  for their military service to the king.  The nobles then had vassals underneath them.  And at the bottom of the system, depending on the upper classes for protection and laws, were the peasants, who gave a share of their produce to the lords above them as their part of the exchange.

What is the difference between an executive agency and a regulatory commission?
mestny [16]

Answer:

Executive agencies report directly to the president, and the heads of those agencies are members of the president’s cabinet. Defense, Interior, State and so on.

independent agencies are usually set up by Congress and the president has less power in getting rid of the head. FCC for example, the chairman is appointed by the president but for a set term, and meanwhile the chairman is part of a five person board.

Compare the ways that European nations, other than Russia, moved away from communist rule.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The main difference between the way in which Russia abandoned communism and the way in which the other countries of the Warsaw Pact did so was that Russia was part of the Soviet Union, which dissolved for political reasons without social revolutions; while the rest of the nations did so through popular revolutions known as the Revolutions of 1989.

Explanation:

The revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989 were a series of events in which many of the Communist Party regimes that ruled several Eastern European countries since the mid-late 1940s were forced to give up power, following a series of popular protests.

The fall of the communist regimes was associated with perestroika in the USSR and began with the Polish People’s Republic, followed by massive protests that led to a change of power in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria, as well as reforms initiated by the communist authorities in Hungary. The change of power was non-violent, except in Romania.
