"In adopting some form of prohibition legislation during World War I, the United States was far from unique. Partial liquor cont

rol measures . . . had been enacted by many countries during the war, and some of the new drink regulations lasted permanently. But in its effort to totally eradicate the use of intoxicating liquor, the United States stood alone among major industrialized nations. The moral fervor of evangelical Protestants had intersected with the Progressive reform wave and the institutional openings provided by the war. Combined with political representation weighted heavily to rural districts and the limited political power of the law’s targets, the antiliquor crusaders were able to rewrite the Constitution and federal law." Lisa McGirr, historian, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State, 2016 Using the excerpt, answer (a), (b), and (c). Briefly describe ONE piece of evidence used in the excerpt to support the argument made in the excerpt. Briefly explain how ONE piece of evidence not mentioned in the excerpt could be used to support, modify, or refute the argument in the excerpt. Briefly explain ONE way the process discussed in the excerpt compares with the earlier reform movements at the time of the Second Great Awakening.

a)

The main claim of the passage is that, by implementing Prohibition, the United States took a step that was much more extreme and permanent than any of those that had been taken in other industrialized nations in connection with alcohol. The evidence that supports this argument is the fact that such legislation was included in the Constitution and in federal law.

b)

A piece of evidence that would help support the argument in the excerpt would be a list of measures that other countries took in respect to the topic of alcohol consumption. This would allow us to compare different measures between countries more easily.

c)

One way in which the process discussed in the passage compares with earlier reform movements is in the relentlessness and tirelessness of the people who encouraged reform. Both reform movements attempted to achieve great goals, and to influence federal legislation permanently.

Why would the ancient Greeks build the city of Athens in an area that had three major rivers and was surrounded by mountains?
kramer

Answer:

Greek city-states likely developed because of the physical geography of the Mediterranean region. The landscape features rocky, mountainous land and many islands. These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other. The sea was often the easiest way to move from place to place.

Explanation:

Athens would have easy access to water and they would have high ground in battle

How did colonial women get most of the things her family needed​
NNADVOKAT [17]

made or grew it. for instance butter was churned, dresses made from scratch, took 3 days to do the wash. things like shoes were ordered from a cobbler, but most things had to be made at home. bartering was also an option and depending on if they were in a city or town there could be a general store. women in cities had access to more, but 90% of the colonists were farmers so a majority were not in cities.
