History
1 answer:
lakkis [162]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Since Columbus discovered America in 1492 many European sailors tried to reach Asia by sailing towards the west and that is why one of their goal was to reach it by sailing towards the North. They weren't successful at the beginning because the weather condition and the conditions of sailing were bad and they weren't able to reach Asia through that route until 1906 when Roald Amundsen somehow managed to navigate this route.

Explanation:

Among the first Europeans who tried to find this passage were famous explorers, including John Cabot and Jack Cartier, but they both failed. It just proved the fact that it was practically impossible at the time to use this route.

Which statement below best describes why so few children attended schools in America prior to the Civil War?
Margaret [11]

The correct option is "Few children knew how to read printed material."

The care of war orphans was an important function for local organizations, as well as for the state and local government. A typical state was Iowa, where the private "Association of Iowa Soldiers' Orphanages" operated with funds from the legislature and public donations. Orphanages were created in Davenport, Glenwood and Cedar Falls. The state government financed the pensions of the widows and children of soldiers. Orphan schools were created to provide housing, care and education for the orphans of civil war soldiers. They became a matter of state pride, orphans were exhibited around demonstrations to show the power of a patriotic education.

vodomira [7]

Form of government, political form, regime of government, political regime, system of government, political system, system of government, model of government or political model are some of the diverse ways of naming an essential concept of political science and the theory of State or constitutional right. It refers to the model of organization of constitutional power adopted by a State in terms of the relationship between the different powers. The way in which political power is structured to exercise its authority in the State, coordinating all the institutions that form it, makes each form of government requires regulatory mechanisms that are characteristic of it.

There are very different nomenclatures to denominate the different forms of government, from the theorists of Antiquity to the Contemporary Age; At present, three types of classifications are usually used:

• The elective character or not of the head of state defines a classification, between republics (elective) and monarchies (non-elective).

• The degree of freedom, pluralism and political participation defines another classification, between democratic, authoritarian and totalitarian systems, depending on whether they allow the exercise of discrepancy and political opposition to a greater or lesser degree or deny more or less radically the possibility of dissidence (establishing a single-party regime, or different types of exceptional regimes, such as dictatorships or military juntas); At the same time, the electoral system through which the popular will expresses itself in participatory systems has had very different historical configurations (direct democracy or assembly, indirect or representative democracy, census or restricted suffrage, universal male suffrage or of both sexes, different determinations of the age of majority, racial segregation, inclusion or not of immigrants, and others), as well as very different ways of altering or distorting it (borgo rotido, gerrymandering, electoral fraud, pucherazo).

• The existing relationship between the head of the State, the government and the parliament defines another classification, between presidentialisms and parliamentarisms (with many degrees or mixed forms between one and the other).

These three classifications are not exclusive, but complement each other, so that a republic can be democratic (United States or South Africa) or non-democratic (China or North Korea); a republican democracy can be parliamentary (Germany or India), semi-presidential (France or Russia) or presidential (Argentina or South Korea); and a monarchy can be democratic and parliamentary (Spain, United Kingdom or Japan), undemocratic (Saudi Arabia or Vatican City) or be placed in intermediate positions (Morocco), very usually qualified in a more or less anachronistic way with terms of the historical forms of the monarchy (feudal monarchy, authoritarian monarchy, absolute monarchy).
