How did gold help the empire of Ghana

History

Answer:The Ghana Empire (c. 300 until c. 1100), properly known as Wagadou (Ghana being the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area of present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region since ancient times,[1] but the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that became the Ghana Empire. By the time of the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the 7th century the camel had changed the ancient, more irregular trade routes into a trade network running from Morocco to the Niger River. The Ghana Empire grew rich from this increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. The traffic furthermore encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the different trade routes.

When Ghana's ruling dynasty began remains uncertain. It is mentioned for the first time in written records by Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī in 830.[2] In the 11th century the Cordoban scholar Al-Bakri travelled to the region and gave a detailed description of the kingdom.

As the empire declined it finally became a vassal of the rising Mali Empire at some point in the 13th century. When, in 1957, the Gold Coast became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain its independence from colonial rule, it renamed itself Ghana in honor of the long-gone empire.

Which idea was the English bill of rights most directly responsible for?
torisob [31]
The answer is 'Virginia Delectation of Rights 1776'

The English Bill of Rights was passed in 1689 which provide more civil liberties to the general population and further constrained the power of the British Monarchs. 

With the Manga Carta, the English Bill of Rights is seen as a historical document in the history of England and inspired American colonists to develop their own version for the newly Independent United States of America.

Check Understanding In invalidating preclearance provisions, what larger point was the Supreme Court making about voting rights?
Ksenya-84 [330]
The Supreme Court was affirming the point that states (not the federal government) should be in charge of the voting procedures in their states.

The Supreme Court decision you're referring to, which invalidated pre-clearance conditions, was Shelby County v. Holder (2013).  "Pre-clearance" meant that certain states, according to the Voting Rights Acts of 1965, had to get approval in advance from federal authorities for any changes they made to their state regulations regarding voting.  That standard had been applied to several states because they had displayed discriminatory practice in their voting laws.  The decision in Shelby County v. Holder held that the federal government could not keep applying that requirement on the basis of decades-old data.

I recently posted another answer on Shelby County v. Holder, which you can check out too.  Read more on Brainly.com - brainly.com/question/9069264#readmore
