Answer:

The Palace of Knossos is located just south of modern-day Heraklion near the north coast of Crete. Built by a civilization that we call the Minoans, it covers about 150,000 square feet (14,000 square meters), and was surrounded by a town in antiquity. The site came to prominence in the early 20th century when it was excavated and restored by a team led by British archaeologist Arthur Evans.

In Greek mythology, King Minos dwelt in a palace at Knossos. He had Daedalus construct a labyrinth, a very large maze (by some connected with the double-bladed axe, or labrys) in which to retain his son, the Minotaur. Daedalus also built a dancing floor for Queen Ariadne.

In what ways was the 1920s an “Age of Contradictions” in the United States?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

According to the generally accepted opinion, in the “roaring twenties” Americans departed from traditions, yielding to the temptation of new ideals and unlimited tolerance. However, it should be noted that not all society was captured by unorthodox trends. There were also those who were disgusted with the excesses of "modernism" and fear of its dangers. The second decade of the 20th century was marked by both the movement for change and the stubborn resistance to these changes.

Which statement best completes the diagram of the ways the different
svp [43]

Answer:

To complete the diagram the correct response is Option A: Congress can impeach justices who are accused of abusing their power.

Explanation:

The branches of government can limit each other's power in a number of ways. For example, it is the Supreme Court that can rule a president's actions unconstitutional. In addition, the President can obstruct the Supreme Court Ruling by refusing to enforce them. This has happened twice historically with Andrew Jackson going ahead with allowing the Indian Removal Act to move forward and Abraham Lincoln defying the Supreme Court on the habeas  corpus ruling. Likewise, the exception clause in the Constitution grants Congress the power to make exceptions to the constitutionally defined appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Congress can also propose amendments to the Constitution that would effectively make a Supreme Court decision moot.  Finally, the Supreme Court can overturn an  unconstitutional law passed by Congress.
