Determine whether the following characteristics describe conditions in Germany before or after unification.

yuradex [85]

written constitution = after unification
During revolutions in 1848-1849, the Frankfurt Parliament had produced a constitution for a unified Germany, but that move was rejected at the time by the king of Prussia, to whom the constitution was offered. 

300 German states = before unification
The German states had a long history of sovereignty in their individual territories. Unification meant bringing all those states together into one national entity.

trade facilitated in the region = before unification
The Zollverein, or customs union, was created between the German states in the 1830s. This eliminated customs tariffs between states and was a step that began moving in the direction of unification.

risk of French aggression = before unification
Germany became a united empire after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Victory over France in that war by the German states operating as a coalition was part of what brought about unification.

boundaries changed by Napoleon = before unification
When Napoleon conquered territories throughout Europe in the early 1800s, he rearranged borders to enhance his empire's management of conquered territories. In the German states, this made them work together in ways they had not before, and was a catalyst toward desires for unification.

two-house legislature = after unification
There was a legislature in the North German Confederation (1867-1870), which preceded unification. But that was a single-house (unicameral) parliament, whereas the Reichstag (legislature) of the unified German Empire was bicameral.

How did government policies prove bad for the economy of the Soviet Union?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

The Soviet Union was very powerful for most of the 20th century. From political to military and economic strength.But the economy of the Soviet Union would eventually collapse, due to certain reforms to decentralise the economy.

The Soviet Union's economy was controlled totally by the government. The communist party coordinated the planning of production, distribution and institution of regulations and economic targets. The economy had a rapid growth at first but as the economy became increasingly complex, the average GNP growth started slowing.

Reforms like the sovnarkhoz, implemented in the late 1950s attempted to decentralise economic control. Restructuring reforms called the porestroika were also implemented but these could not compete at the global stage and therefore failed.

Lilit [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question is incomplete. Indeed, here we do not have a question, just a statement. After the statement, the full question must say: "Decide if the situation jeopardizes the government's legitimacy."

What is the situation? The statement above-mentioned.

So the situation is this:

Three top military generals overthrow the country's government. The generals are very popular with the citizens, who cheer by the thousands in streets across the country.

Under this situation, the legitimacy is not jeopardized because it was the people who supported the generals to overthrow the country's government. So we can say that the generals are legit because they received the support of the people and that is why they succeeded. The people believe in them.

Let's remember that in politics, the concept of legitimacy means that the people think that their ruler is the right one, the capable one, and has the support of the citizens.

The other three important concepts of a solid government are Power, Authority, and Sovereignty.
