Paraphin [41]2 years ago

The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.

Why scientific revolution is important to learn?
Scrat [10]
Before, most people believed in a faith base system. God created this and that. However, deism came about and said that we could find our answers through what God created. Eventually, everything leads to one thing after another, and now we have scientific advances that (for example) declare that we orbit the son rather than everything orbiting us which was a faith based principle because if we weren't the center of the universe, then we weren't the center of Gods creation as many interpreted the bible. Before gravity and every other discovery, people thought that the Earth didn't rotate on an axis, choosing to believe that if it did, everything would simply "fling off the Earth." 
Science explains matter, mass, black holes, time, space...

When the supply of a commodity exceeds the demand, prices generally rise.<br><br><br> True False
olga nikolaevna [1]
<span>It is false that prices rise when supply of a commodity exceed demand. It is a basic rule of supply and demand that when there is more demand for a product or commodity then there is supply the prices will rise, and vice versa. In other words, when there is more of something than people want, the price will fall, and when there is less of something than people want, the price goes higher.</span>

Who should not have been happy during the 4th period of expansion with Rome plzz answer asap instant brainliest for anyone no jo
sesenic [268]

Rome’s first period of expansion included more than 200 years of

almost constant warfare. During this time, Rome gradually took

control of the entire Italian peninsula.

After the last Etruscan king was overthrown in 509bc, the Romans

began to expand their territory and influence .In 493bc, Roman

leaders signed a treaty (agreement) with their Latin neighbors to the

south. The treaty said, “There shall be peace between the Romans

and all the communities of Latins as long as heaven and earth

endure.” The new allies agreed to band together against their

common enemies. During the next 100 years, the Romans fought a

number of wars against the Etruscans as well as against tribes living

in hills in the area around Rome.
