Answer: The Spanish said the rafts were in the shape of the extended fingers of a hand. The large balsa logs, lashed together with henequen fiber, formed the main deck of a raft. Seawater passed freely between and over the logs making it very difficult for rafts to be swamped by heavy seas.

Pickett's Charge was led by General Pickett of the traitorous Confederate Army at the Battle of Gettysburg on the Third and Final Day of the Battle.

Answer:
The duties of the legislature include consideration of proposed laws and resolutions, consideration of proposed constitutional amendments for submission to the voters, and appropriation of all funds for the operation of state government.
All three are ways of approaching the economic system and how much the government should be involved in that system.
Capitalism involves private ownership of businesses with little to no government interference or regulation. Most countries do not run on laissez-faire capitalism in which there is no gov't regulation. However more run as a blend between capitalism and socialism.
In socialism, the government owns the means of production and sets pricing, wages, quotas, and production. Often managers are government appointed and the workers all receive an equal wage for their work. Cooperation is key to the success of socialism. This is also the step between an overthrow of capitalism to full communism.
In communism, the means of production are owned by the people and the gov't is no longer needed to regulate business and/or wages. It is a complete cooperative state where the workers work for the good of all.
