alexgriva [62]

Answer:

"how close the students lived to one another."

Explanation:

In the study conducted in the 1950s, social psychologist Leon Festinger and colleagues established their proximity theory, which states that individuals tend to forge friendships with those who live close to them. People who are close by, have more chances to develop a strong interpersonal relationship rather than those who live far away from each other.

Which statements accurately describe why the Renaissance began in Italy? Choose all answers that are correct. A. Arab traders so
stira [4]
One major reason the Renaissance began in Italy is linked to its geography.  The city-states of Italy, on the Mediterranean Sea, were centers for trade and commerce, the first port of call for both goods and new ideas.  I'm not completely sure if it avoided crisis.

Italy was the core of the former Roman empire and at the collapse of the Byzantine empire in 1453, became the refuge for the intellectuals of Constantinople who brought with them many of the great works of the ancient Greeks and Romans, works that had been lost to the West during the Dark Ages.  Prior to this, scholars in Italy had been examining the works of the ancients, but they were not very good and often incomplete.  

The third reason was political.  Because of many political changes, the Holy Roman Empire had essentially lost power in northern Italy, the papal states were governed by various leading families within each region, and the city of Naples dominated the South. 

The Renaissance was a rebirth of ancient Greek and Roman thinking and styles, and both the Roman and Greek civilizations were Mediterranean cultures, as is Italy.  The best single reason for Italy as the birthplace of the Renaissance was the concentration of wealth, power, and intellect in the Church.

How does Mason’s essay about government differ from ideas expressed in The Federalist?
kykrilka [37]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the Federalist paper to properly answer your question.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

George Mason’s essay about government differed from ideas expressed in The Federalist Papers in that George mason believed that the Federalists supported the creation of a strong central government that could have the risk to turn into a dictatorship, as was the case of the English monarchy. Mason was against the aggressions and aggravations committed by the English king and he did not want that for the American people. That is why he opposed the ratification of the Constitution under that strong federal government conception supported by Federalists like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.

George Mason was an Antifederalist like Thomas Jefferson, and he firmly believed in a government that included many rights for the citizens.
