Answer:

The New England colonies were ethnically homogeneous, heavily skewing toward anglo-saxon, and protestant.

The Middle Colonies were ethnically more diverse, because they promoted a greater degree of religious freedom. In these colonies, there were quakers, catholics, puritans, anglicans, calvinists, and some non-anglo immigrants, especially Germans and Dutch.

The New England colonies had the advantage of being cohesive and egalitarian. They also had a strict culture that promoted educational development, and it's not a coincidence that some of the first centers of advanced learning in the United States were founded in New England (Harvard College, for example).

The Middle Colonies had the advantage of being more dynamic: because they enjoyed greater freedoms, they also attracted a larger pool of immigrants who provided a wide array of skills to develop the economy. With time, the Middle Colonies became the most populated in the United States, and the cities of New York and Philadelphia, acquired great importance.

How does today’s democracy differ from the democracy of Ancient Greece?

OlgaM077 [116]

Today's 'democracy' is more of a republic than anything. In ancient Greece, every citizen got a direct and equal vote, by casting stones into the pile that signified which side they were on. In today's democracy, the people don't get that much say

How did the decision of Miranda v. Arizona impact due process for accused persons

eduard

Answer:

Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) is a historical case examined by the Supreme Court. By a decision in this case, the court established that any evidence, whether confessing or exculpatory, can be used in court only if the prosecution can prove that the suspect was informed before the interrogation about the right to a lawyer and about the right not to testify against himself. At the same time, in case of refusal of the suspect from his rights, it is necessary to prove its voluntariness. The Miranda case set a precedent requiring all police departments to inform detainees of their rights to a lawyer and silence. These warnings are called the Miranda rule. The Supreme Court equated the Miranda Rule with constitutional acts.

What were the social, political, and economic characteristics of early civilizations?

serg [7]

Answer:

Social: ancient civilizations were very hierarchical, organized in castes. Social mobility was very difficult, this means that if a person was born poor, it was very unlikely for this person to become wealthy later in life.

Political: most ancient civilizations were monarchies, or dictatorships. Republics were essentially non-existant. That is to say that they were ruled by a single powerful man like a pharaoh, or a few people, who had no almost no limits to their power, and who were not elected by the people. Power was instead, hereditary.

Economic: all of these civilizations had an economy that was based on agriculture, because agriculture was the activity that allowed civilization to emerge in first place. The most valauble resource was land, and land was often monopolized by a few powerful individuals, the same people who had political power.
