History
1 answer:
ivanzaharov [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A bullet that could be loaded quicker and fired more accurately

Explanation:

This was a type of bullet developed by the French army officer Claude-Etienne Minié, in the year 1849. It was used during the American civil war. Minié developed this bullet because tradidional ammunition had to engage the spiral grooves, or rifling, inside the rifle barrel, had to be equal in diameter to the barrel, and shooters would have to jam the bullet into the rifle by force.  Because of this the rifles would become increasingly difficult to load as the barrel became dirty with gun powder residue. This bullet was smaller than the diameter of a rifle barrel, and could be easily loaded, even when the rifle became dirty.This gave rise to the ammunition that we see today. :)

Why did Socrates criticize Athens’ democracy?
uranmaximum [27]

Socrates’ analysis of the hatred he has incurred is one part of a larger theme that he dwells on throughout his speech. Athens is a democracy, a city in which the many are the dominant power in politics, and it can therefore be expected to have all the vices of the many. Because most people hate to be tested in argument, they will always take action of some sort against those who provoke them with questions. But that is not the only accusation Socrates brings forward against his city and its politics. He tells his democratic audience that he was right to have withdrawn from political life, because a good person who fights forjustice in a democracy will be killed. In his cross-examination of Meletus, he insists that only a few people can acquire the knowledge necessary for improving the young of any species, and that the many will inevitably do a poor job. He criticizes the Assembly for its illegal actions and the Athenian courts for the ease with which matters of justice are distorted by emotional pleading. Socrates implies that the very nature of democracy makes it a corrupt political system. Bitter experience has taught him that most people rest content with a superficial understanding of the most urgent human questions. When they are given great power, their shallowness inevitably leads to injustice.
