"By lot" means that Athens citizens (white males over the age of fifteen) put their name on a stick of wax and put it a container and someones drew out some of the sticks, or drew "lots." And sorry for the short answer.

When we hear that the Council of 500 was chosen "by lot," what this means is that the council was chosen at random. All the candidates would put their names together and it was luck that decided who was going to be in the council. This was probably not a very good idea for the Athenian goverment, as it was likely that the people elected to the council were uneducated or uninterested in government.

Olenka [21]

The correct answer is the fourth one.

Hoovervilles were shantytowns which appeared during the great depression for unemployed people who were evicted from their homes.

The term "Hooverville" comes from the president in turn during this economic crisis Herbert Hoover, who was therefore widely blamed for it.

as the depression worsened, hundreds of thousands of people settled in hoovervilles, mainly at the skirts of big cities during the decade from 1930 to 1940

In 1932 president Hoover lost the election to Frankling Roosevelt whose new administration helped lift US out of the great depression. Hoovervilles were eventually torn down in the early 1940´s

Read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.
Ksju [112]

The correct answer is:

Passionate and logical.

The Founding Fathers, wrote the Declaration of Independence. This document was logical, yet not intellectual. Passionate, yet not personal. It was very simple. Well thought out, but simple. It was constructed that way so that even simple minded could understand. It was logical in all it's aspects. For instance, the text states, "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government."
