What two elements of the United States’s legal system can be traced to Roman law? a.a trial by jury of one’s peers and the use o

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

c.a trial by a jury of one’s peers and double jeopardy

Explanation:

The two elements of the United States’s legal system that can be traced to Roman law is "a trial by a jury of one’s peers and double jeopardy."

This is evident in the fact that in the Roman republic, the trial by a jury of one's peers is well established whereby citizens are judged by their fellow citizens rather than the Emperor or King.

Also, double jeopardy is established in roman law that a person declared acquittal by a judge in a criminal case is exempted from further proceedings under the same charges.

How did the Policies of the United States and the Soviet Union help end the Cold War?

Sergio039 [100]

<h2> This is your answer mate</h2>

<u><em>The fall of the Berlin Wall. The shredding of the Iron Curtain. The end of the Cold War. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>When Mikhail Gorbachev assumed the reins of power in the Soviet Union in 1985, no one predicted the revolution he would bring. A dedicated reformer, Gorbachev introduced the policies of glasnost and perestroika to the USSR. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>GLASNOST, or openness, meant a greater willingness on the part of Soviet officials to allow western ideas and goods into the USSR. PERESTROIKA was an initiative that allowed limited market incentives to Soviet citizens. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Gorbachev hoped these changes would be enough to spark the sluggish Soviet economy. Freedom, however, is addictive. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>The unraveling of the SOVIET BLOC began in Poland in June 1989. Despite previous Soviet military interventions in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland itself, Polish voters elected a noncommunist opposition government to their legislature. The world watched with anxious eyes, expecting Soviet tanks to roll into Poland preventing the new government from taking power. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>The Berlin Wall falls </em></u>

<u><em>Here, crews of German troops tear down the Berlin Wall. While many had taken axes and picks to the Wall upon the collapse of Communism in Germany in 1989, the official destruction of the Berlin Wall did not begin until June, 1990. </em></u>

<u><em>Gorbachev, however, refused to act. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Like dominoes, Eastern European communist dictatorships fell one by one. By the fall of 1989, East and West Germans were tearing down the BERLIN WALL with pickaxes. Communist regimes were ousted in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. On Christmas Day, the brutal Romanian dictator NICOLAE CEAUSESCU and his wife were summarily executed on live television. Yugoslavia threw off the yoke of communism only to dissolve quickly into a violent civil war. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Demands for freedom soon spread to the Soviet Union. The BALTIC STATES of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania declared independence. Talks of similar sentiments were heard in UKRAINE, the CAUCASUS, and the CENTRAL ASIAN states. Here Gorbachev wished to draw the line. Self-determination for Eastern Europe was one thing, but he intended to maintain the territorial integrity of the Soviet Union. In 1991, he proposed a Union Treaty, giving greater autonomy to the Soviet republics, while keeping them under central control. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Mikhail Gorbachev </em></u>

<u><em>When Mikhail Gorbachev assumed power of the Soviet Union in 1985, he instituted the policies of glasnost and perestroika in hopes of sparking the sluggish economy. What resulted from this taste of freedom was the revolution that ended the Cold War. </em></u>

<u><em>That summer, a coup by conservative hardliners took place. Gorbachev was placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, BORIS YELTSIN, the leader of the RUSSIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC, demanded the arrest of the hardliners. The army and the public sided with Yeltsin, and the coup failed. Though Gorbachev was freed, he was left with little legitimacy. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Nationalist leaders like Yeltsin were far more popular than he could hope to become. In December 1991, Ukraine, BYELORUSSIA, and RUSSIA itself declared independence and the Soviet Union was dissolved. Gorbachev was a president without a country. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Americans were pleasantly shocked, but shocked nonetheless at the turn of events in the Soviet bloc. No serious discourse on any diplomatic levels in the USSR addressed the likelihood of a Soviet collapse. Republicans were quick to claim credit for winning the Cold War. They believed the military spending policies of the Reagan-Bush years forced the Soviets to the brink of economic collapse. Democrats argued that containment of communism was a bipartisan policy for 45 years begun by the Democrat Harry Truman. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Others pointed out that no one really won the Cold War. The United States spent trillions of dollars arming themselves for a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union that fortunately never came. Regardless, thousands of American lives were lost waging proxy wars in Korea and Vietnam. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Most Americans found it difficult to get used to the idea of no Cold War. Since 1945, Americans were born into a Cold War culture that featured McCarthyist witchhunts, backyard bomb shelters, a space race, a missile crisis, détente, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Star Wars defense proposal. Now the enemy was beaten, but the world remained unsafe. In many ways, facing one superpower was simpler than challenging dozens of rogue states and renegade groups sponsoring global terrorism. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Americans hoped against hope that the new world order of the 1990s would be marked with the security and prosperity to which they had become accustomed.</em></u>

Which of the following has made communication easier for the most people?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

a. mobile phones

Explanation:

One day some engineers decided to change the course of history. Thinking of a way to make communication more efficient and easy, they had the brilliant idea of creating a system that would be capable of communicating between cordless phones. The idea was not bad, but the technology of the time did not help much.

The real history of the mobile phone began in 1973, when the first call was made from a mobile phone to a landline. It was from April 1973 that all theories proved that the cell worked perfectly, and that the cell phone network suggested in 1947 was designed correctly. This was a not very well known moment, but it certainly was a fact marked forever because it was the moment that facilitated communication for most people through the creation of the mobile phone.
