PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Social Studies
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
7 0

I am so upset at myself. I don’t know where my head was. Finally, here I was, with $80 to my name (which is meager compensation for a two-month cattle drive), and then I lose it all gambling. Just one night, and now I am bankrupt all over again. Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, as well as my payday, so I allowed myself a little gambling in Abilene, Kansas, a cow town. But I got so caught up in the action that I couldn’t stop, and pretty soon, I was broke.

I had been hoping to save enough money to start my own business, Bronco Jones and Company, but I suppose that will just have to wait for the next cattle drive. Hopefully, by then I will have better sense.

But enough talk about that. I shall write about the cattle drive, in case I ever look back in this journal 20 years from now and wonder what it was like. Cowhands have very tough jobs, not to mention boring at times. I am a swing rider, and I help keep the cattle from straying. There are several other cowhands and, of course, a point rider and a cook. Lucky for us, we now have a talented cook who can turn anything into a delicious meal. We've had much worse cooks in the past.

One little piece of excitement that sticks out in my mind is the day a single gunshot started a cattle stampede. I didn’t even have time to wonder where it came from, for in a split second, the longhorns had already taken off at an alarming run. It was all chaos for some time. Finally we managed to slow down the stampeding herd by turning them in a wide circle. That memory shall certainly amuse me for some years to come, and I do need some fun, for tomorrow I am returning to Texas for yet another cattle drive. I hope it's my last.

On what grounds did the Supreme Court assert the power of judicial review in the case of Marbury v Madison?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is... It is the role of the courts to interpret and apply the law, and the Constitution is the highest law. This all ties back to judicial review where the courts can label something unconstitutional also ties back to checks and balances where each branch has a specific power and job.

When did (spoken) language develop?
alexgriva [62]

D. None of the above

Spoken language was created <em>even before time</em>.

Remember, technically GOD exists outside the time realm, and before time was even there, GOD was. In a sense, we can see inside the book of Genesis, that GOD essentially spoke, and it was there.

For example, "God said, Let there be light; and there was light"

Inside this semi-quote, we see that God "said". This implies that there was language even before the creation of the world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if we put it into human context, language started on the creation of man, the first one being Adam. Note that he was given the right to "name all the creatures.." This means that language was already existent by then for him to "name" the other living things.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, it brings us to the point where multiple languages were created.

During the "Building of the tower of Babel", GOD saw that the people were becoming more prideful. This led to the event of the building of the tower of Babel, which was a tower that essentially would rise to the heavens. However, GOD caused many languages to develop, so that people could not communicate properly. Those who spake the same language gathered together, and each group went their separate ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on these events, we can say that D. None of the above is your best answer

What causes the freezing point to change with the addition of salt?
Anni [7]

Answer:

When added to ice, salt first dissolves in the film of liquid water that is always present on the surface, and lowering its freezing point below the ices temperature. Ice in contact with salty water therefore melts, creating more liquid water, which dissolves more salt, thereby causing more ice to melt, and so on.
