The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Who were the Robber Barons?

The Robber Barons were wealthy owners of the American Industries during the Gilde Edge. Two of the most famous Robber Barons were John F. Rockefeller, owner of the Standard Oil Company, and Andre Carnegie, owner of the Steel Company.

What positive impact did they have on the United States?

The positive impact was that they invested millions of dollars in developing their industries and the creation of thousands of jobs.  

What challenges did the national economy face because of their existence?

The presence of their huge companies resulted in the lack of competition in their industries. They grew by buying other companies to the degree they became monopolies that dominated the industry.

What challenges did workers face because of their existence and how might those challenges be related to the rise of labor unions?

Workers labored for long hours a day and received low salaries. They also worked under unhealthy conditions that put them at risk. That is why they started to demand better working conditions and began to form labor unions.

One conclusion we can draw from this statement by Pope Gregory III is that C. Christians and non-Christians conducted business with each other in the eighth century.

<h3>How do we know that Christians and Pagans traded in the 8th century?</h3>

"Pagans" is a word used by Christians in the past for people who were non-Christians.

By saying that some Christians sell their enslaved to pagans, Pope Gregory III is proving that some sort of trade existed between the Pagans and Christians which at the very least included slave trade.

Which of the following was not an advantage held by Spaniards over meso American people
denis-greek [22]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options for this question. Without the options, we do not what was not an advantage held by the Spaniards over the Native Mesoamerican people.

So the only thing that we can do for you is to answer based on our knowledge of this topic regarding the advantages that the Spaniards indeed had over the indigenous people.

The Spanish conquistadors had metal weapons, fire weapons, armors, and horses, that represented major advantages against the primitive weapons of civilizations such as the Aztecs.

Let's have in mind that in Mesoamerica there were no horses. It was the Europeans who brought horses to America. Natives such as the Aztecas have never seen a horse and they compare it to something similar they had seen before, a deer. Horses for the Spaniards represented an advantage in the purposes of conquest because horses can carry a heavy load and were used in battle.

And regarding fire weapons, native Indians could not compete against that powerful weapon.

kkurt [141]
The Lawyer of Linda Brown claimed that those schools were racist and segregated students based on archaic and incorrect beliefs that there is genetic difference between white and black people in which the African-Americans are not as developed. Of course, the supreme court ruled that we are all equal and the schools were forced to put the students together.

Why did Thomas Hobbes view did not work in the 1600? How and why it could work today?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Hobbes was an English philosopher whose political philosophy dominated the 17th century and continues to have a major influence today.

Thomas Hobbes was born in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, on 5 April 1588, the son of a clergyman. His father left the family in 1604 and never returned, so a wealthy uncle sponsored Hobbes' education at Oxford University.

In 1608, Hobbes became tutor to William Cavendish, later earl of Devonshire. The Cavendish family were to be Hobbes' patrons throughout his life. In 1610, Cavendish and Hobbes travelled to Europe together, visiting Germany, France and Italy. After Cavendish died, Hobbes obtained another position but later became tutor to Cavendish's son. During these years he travelled to Europe twice more, meeting leading thinkers including the astronomer Galileo Galilei and the philosopher Rene Descartes.

In 1640, with England on the brink of civil war, the Royalist Hobbes fled to Paris, fearing the reaction of the Long Parliament to his writing. He remained in exile for 11 years. Between 1646 and 1648, Hobbes was a mathematics tutor to Charles, Prince of Wales (the future Charles II) who was also in exile.

In 1651, Hobbes' best-known work 'Leviathan' or, 'The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil' was published. For Hobbes, the only way for man to lift himself out of his natural state of fear and violence was to give up his freedom and make a social contract with others to accept a central authority. Hobbes felt that a monarchy provided the best authority. He also argued that as sovereign power was absolute, the sovereign must also be head of the national religion. He was, as a result, hostile to the Roman Catholic Church.

This made him unpopular with the French authorities and in 1651 he returned to England. He continued to write, producing works on mathematics and physics as well as philosophy, and engaging in academic disputes. In 1660, his former pupil returned to England as Charles II and granted Hobbes a pension.

In 1666, parliament ordered 'Leviathan' to be investigated for atheist tendencies. Hobbes was terrified of being labelled a heretic and burned many of his papers. Charles II interceded on his behalf, but the condition seems to have been that Hobbes published nothing further on overtly political subjects.

In 1672, Hobbes published an autobiography in Latin verse and translations of the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' in 1675-1676. He died on 4 December 1679 at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, one of the Cavendish family's homes.
