What is salutary neglect?

History

Anna11 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Salutary neglect was a policy of "abandonment" - little interference - adopted by the King of England when the Thirteen Colonies wanted independence. Since these colonies offered no riches to England to meet their mercantilist interests, such as gold and silver, the English Crown gave administrative autonomy to the colonists. They began to "self-govern" (but did not become independent) and to administer their own taxes.

These mercantilist concerns were identical to those of other Europeans at the time, such as metalism and the favorable trade balance.

This neglect meant that unemployed Englishmen had opportunities for growth across the Atlantic. These people were mostly Calvinist Protestants who sought religious freedom and peasants who lost their right to work because of their enclosures.

The Salutary Neglect Policy gave the colonists a degree of freedom, both economically and politically. Thus, the first small family properties were constituted. This policy was adopted by England in the early seventeenth century.

Explain why amendments were needed to change rules about presidential elections, terms
laila [671]

Answer:

The need for amending the procedures set forth in the Constitution for electing a president and vice president were necessary because of the ambiguity in Article II, Section I. In just over a decade after the Constitution was ratified, there had been two presidential elections--the election of 1796 and the election of 1800--that had confusing outcomes.

In 1796, the president and vice president ended up coming from different parties. Then in 1800, there was a tie for president, and Congress almost didn't agree on a winner. It didn't take long before Congress saw the need to clarify the procedures with the 12th Amendment, and over the next 200 years, the need for a few more amendments dealing with the presidency became evident

Why was Ptolemy's Earth-centered system of epicycles taught throughout Europe for over a thousand years?
marta [7]
Ptolemy's Earth-centered system of epicycles was taught throughout Europe for over a thousand years because this was in line with the religious narrative of the day, which put humans (and therefore the Earth) at the center of God's creation. To imagine a universe in which Earth was not central would be to imagine one in which humans were less important.
