Answer:

Why did it take so long for monarchs to be subject to the rule of law just like everyone else?

European Absolute Monarchs of the Modern Era had accumulated lots of power, starting from the Middle Ages. They had subjugated the former medieval feudal lords, and they also had the support of the Church (the Catholic Church in the case of nations like France and Spain, and Protestant Churches in the case of England).

This alliance with the Church not only gave them more political power and wealth, but also legitimacy in front of the people. Many of these monarchs, like Louis XIV, were seen almost divine.

Why was England first to have a constitutional monarchy rather than an absolute monarchy?

England had a tradition of limiting the power of the monarch that traces back to the Carta Magna of 1215.

From that moment on, the parliament always kept some form of check on the monarch.

Besides, England, along with the Netherlands, was the first European country to liberalize the economy. This economic freedom brought wealth to many merchants, tradesmen and so on, what would be known as the  

bourgeoisie.

These people began to demand political representation in the parliament, which contributed to the power decline of the English monarchs.

The correct answer is C. Spring.

Explanation

The seasons of the year originated from the different positions that the earth has concerning the sun. These positions are often associated with the solstices and equinoxes. During each year there are two solstice periods, one in June and one in December, and two periods of the equinox, one in March and one in September. The image illustrates the stage of the September equinox in which the sun's rays strike more directly in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere, causing the autumn season in the north and the spring season in the south. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Spring.

What do multinational coporations tend to become very involved in politics all over the world?
lara31 [8.8K]
Just like any big corporation in this country, corporations like to use their wealth and power to influence politicians and policies to their benefit. Multinationals operate in many different countries, so they have interest in the operation, production and consumption, which includes dealing with labor laws, environmental impact, taxes, etc. Every country is different, but the interest of the corporation is usually the same...profit. For this reason, they have a keen interest in the politics and politicians of every country where they do business.
