Answer:

Myths and Legends have been a big part of everyday life and have been passed on from generation to generation. They have inspired and taken a large place in society. But why are some myths and legends from the middle ages still very popular today? It is because they are gripping and entertaining. They designed their stories to be as complicated and detailed as possible so it would keep those listening to the stories entertained. This is because most people were illiterate probably due to the fact that about 90 per cent of the population were peasants and thus had little or no education. These highly entertaining stories have been passed on from the people of the Middle Ages down to us today and we have loved them so. So many of our stories today are based on concepts from the middle ages which prove we love them dearly. For example, we have all fallen in love with things like the Hobbit which is based completely around medieval warfare, magic and Dragons (Check out some info on them at mythological creatures). Another example is the TV show, Merlin based completely on the stories and myths of King Arthur and Merlin and all the adventures that took place. So the reason that we all have fallen in love with these Legends or Myths is because they are so intricate and beautifully woven that we have no choice but to love them.

How do you think people reacted to the new Constitution in 1787? Why would or wouldn’t they like it?
lisov135 [29]

Many people reacted in a good way to the new constitution, while some thought it gave too much power to the government. The Federalists supported the new constitution in 1787, while the Anti-Federalists primarily did not agree with it.

The Federalists were in support of a new constitution. They believed that the Articles of Confederation, which was the United States' first constitution, was too weak and the government needed more power. Under the Articles, the government could not tax citizens, properly create and enforce laws, regulate trade, and draft soldiers. The Federalists felt like this was weakening the country and they needed to amend it. While the Articles ended up getting scrapped altogether, the Federalists were in support of this and wanted to create a new constitution that gave more power to the federal government.

On the other hand, the Anti-Federalists favored the Articles of Confederation and did not want to amend it or create a new constitution. They associated the government having power with British tyranny and thought the power should be in the hands of the states and citizens. They opposed having a new constitution and were scared for their rights, this is why they demanded to have a Bill of Rights.
