Answer: C. It was found in the ruins of an actual ancient Indian city.

Explanation: It cannot be “A” because the fact that the historian has never found any other documents before has no effect on the veracity of the actual document if we are assuming, as stated on the question, that all of this is true.

It cannot be “B” either because the claims on the importance of the document made by the historian are subjective. They are of no value to the truth, even if they are true, they are not the reason why the document is important because it is important by itself.

Finally, the correct answer cannot be “D” because the fact that the document is ancient makes it important by its own (as stated on the previous paragraph). It would not matter if the document described a code of laws, which is characteristic of civilization or it was a childish drawing. If <em>it was found in the ruins of an actual ancient Indian city</em> and it is real, it is a strong evidence for historical interpretation, which leave us with option “C”.

How could the trend of mass imprisonment in the late twentieth century have been avoided?
Gennadij [26K]

 

<span>United States incarceration rates in state and federal prisons remained remarkably stable throughout the better part of the twentieth century, averaging just over 108 people per 100,000 from 1925 to 1973. </span>But in 1980 the rate of US imprisonment increased by over 40 percent, from 97 per 100,000 people in 1970 to 139 per 100,000 people—the first increase of this magnitude in American history. Between 1980 and the mid-2000s, the incarceration rate nearly quadrupled, reaching an all-time high of 506 per 100,000 people by 2007, amounting to a total of 1,596,835 state and federal prisoners. If one includes the estimated 780,174 people incarcerated in local jails that year, by 2007 a total of 2,377,009 people were living behind bars in the United States, or approximately 1 in 100 US adults. The trend of mass imprisonment in the late 20th century could have been avoided if the State legislators could have refused to criminalize drug use.

Why was France able to hold onto its vast North American domain against Spanish and English expansion? ​​ The French maintained
Lera25 [3.4K]
There are all kinds of stories of hostilities between early American colonists and the Native people who were already there. However, these hostilities did not occur with every European group who came. The French are a notable exception to this, and in fact, enjoyed excellent relations with the Natives almost from the very beginning.

Why were the French different? The main reason is that they did not try to change the Natives. They also did not compete with the Natives for land. When the French first came to the Americas in the 1530s and 1540s to engage in seasonal fur trading, they immediately established strong trading ties with the local Natives they found there. The Natives already dealt extensively in furs.

How was fascism different than other dictators?
vodka [1.7K]
Fascism is something you believe. Dictatorship is something you do. Fascism is something you believe because it is first and foremost a type of political ideology. So basically it's a set of principles and beliefs you hold in your head and want to see in the world. Dictatorship in the modern sense is something you do because it is just a type of mangement. A small group gives the orders, the others follow them and nobody from outside the small group can change the small group.(I said modern sense because in ancient times it was a temporary period of rule by the few in a time of crisis to safeguard a less dictatorial way of running things when no crises were around). Hope this helped!
