Although religion was the principal motivator in Aztec life, farming was the principal activity. Much of Aztec life was built around farming, which was extremely necessary to sustain the growing population. Since the land that the Aztecs farmed was not fertile enough to grow enough food to support the population, the Aztecs were forced to invent methods to increase productivity. These methods included irrigation, fertilizer, and even building terraces on hills that were previously not farmable. The truly original idea, however, was that of chinampas.

Chinampas were floating gardens built on swamps. The process of making chinampas was a relatively simple one. First, canals were built through the marshes and swamps. Then, the mud from the canals was placed on mats, which were made from weeds and straw. Then, trees were planted at the corners. When these trees took root, they secured the chinampa firmly in place. Once the floating island was secure and useable, the Aztecs used it to plant their principal crop: corn. They also grew various vegetables (such as avocados, beans, chili peppers, squash, and tomatoes), and sometimes—even flowers. Unfortunately, the Aztecs had no animals or machines to help them work the land. In fact, they didn't even have plows. Thus, it was even more necessary to have soft land. Luckily for the Aztecs, the chinampas were soft enough that it was possible to plant crops with nothing but pointed sticks.

Maya

The three regions the ancient Maya lived in were very different from each other. The southern/central lowlands were covered with tropical rainforest. Rainforests do not have rich soil. This made it harder for the Maya to grow food there.

Maya farmers used a method called slash and burn before they began planting crops. Slash and burn farming was a lot of hard work for Maya farmers. First, the farmer cut down all the trees in the area he wanted to plant crops in. Cutting down the trees was the “slash part” of the slash and burn farming method. Next, he burned the tree stumps, and the trees he had cut down. The ashes from the fires mixed with the soil. The ashes made the soil rich, or fertile. Fertile means good for growing things.

After this, the farmers planted seeds in the soil and waited for their crops to grow. The crops they grew included maize (corn), squash, beans, chili peppers, and cacao (cocoa), which is used to make chocolate.

Inca

The Incas faced difficult conditions for agriculture. Mountainous terrain limited the land that could be used for agriculture, and water was sometimes scarce.

To compensate, the Incas adopted and improved upon the terracing methods invented by pre-Inca civilizations. They built stone walls to create raised, level fields. These fields formed steplike patterns along the sides of hills that were too steep to irrigate or plough in their natural state. Terraces created more arable land and kept the topsoil from washing away in heavy rains.

Although rain generally falls in the Andes between December and May, there are often years of drought. The Incas constructed complex canals to bring water to terraces and other patches of arable land.

They also made use of natural fertilizers. Guano, the nitrate-rich droppings of birds, was plentiful in coastal areas. In the highlands, farmers used the remains of slaughtered llamas as a fertilizer.

Need the answer ASAP. Is it possible to balance native americans sovereignty with the United States' westward expansion
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The answer is more complicated than a simple yes and no.

Explanation:

The United States has historically not been able to provide sovereignty to Native Americans over their own land due to the conflicting doctrine of a Westward expansion.

Many natives were initially killed or at best, forced out of their homes to move farther away from United States land. However, as expansion became inevitable, the US government was involved in massacres to remove natives and annex large parts of land.

Today, the United States government has tried to right the wrongs of the past by giving hundreds of 'Reserves' which are like countries within countries where Native American tribes have their own laws and way of lives.

Answer:

1.The Georgia Constitution gives some limits as to how arms can be borne by the people—the US Constitution does not state this explicitly. The Georgia Constitution also states how many people can sit on a jury (twelve); the US Constitution only gives one the right to a trial by jury.

2.The state government of Georgia is the U.S. state governmental body established by the Georgia State Constitution. It is a republican form of government with three branches : the legislature, executive, and judiciary.

3. Georgia legislators split the difference when they toughened juvenile justice laws in 1994. They stiffened sentences for the most violent crimes, sending some teens to adult prisons. But lawmakers also gave courts discretion to keep some of the serious offenders in the state’s juvenile facilities.

4. Unfortunately, the legislative foundation for local government in Georgia is underdeveloped and

often self-contradictory due to frequent amendment. For instance, the Law on the Structure and

Operation of Executive Power has been amended twice since its adoption in 1990. Furthermore,

several essential areas lack any legislative basis; key fields such as regional organization and the office

of regional state commissioner are determined by presidential decree, not parliamentary legislation.

The 1995 Constitution failed to stipulate a model for administrative-territorial organization. Instead,

its second clause postpones settlement of the issue until restoration of the country’s territorial integrity.

Meanwhile, the system of local government is determined by the Organic Law on Local Government

and Self-governance, adopted in October 1997. Despite many juridical flaws, this law provided the

basis for the development of a relatively efficient system of self-government. The Organic Law on

Local Government superceded several contradictory normative laws passed between 199

Marxist criticism Beginnings and basics of Marxism. Karl Marx (1818-1883), a German philosopher, and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895
lawyer [7]

Answer:

I believe you're asking about the Marxist criticism. Well, Marxist criticism came from various political ideologies and academic disciplines. These include general criticisms about the lack of internal consistency, criticisms related to historical materialism, the need to suppress individual rights, issues with the implementation of communism and economic issues such as distortion or the absence of price signals and reduced incentives. Also, empirical problems are often identified.

Explanation:

The main criticism of Marxism today claims that it has a simplistic character, be it in the organization of society into classes (capitalist and proletariat), or in the various interpretations that Marx makes of the direct interrelation between social factors of conscience (such as culture, religion and political) and those of the economy. According to some of these critics, economic reasons are also insufficient to explain modern phenomena such as man's search for status, even though it does not represent any economic advantage.
