What kinds of surpluses did the Greek city-states developed and how did<br> it affect their economy?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Ancient Greece was a civilization that dominated much of the Mediterranean thousands of years ago. At its peak under Alexander the Great, Ancient Greece ruled much of Europe and Western Asia. The Greeks came before the Romans and much of the Roman culture was influenced by the Greeks.

Ancient Greece formed the foundation of much of Western culture today. Everything from government, philosophy, science, mathematics, art, literature, and even sports was impacted by the Ancient Greeks.

Explanation:

Periods

Historians often divide up the history of Ancient Greece into three periods:

Archaic Period - This period ran from the start of Greek civilization in 800 BC to the introduction of Democracy in 508 BC. This period included the start of the Olympic Games and Homer's writing of the Odyssey and the Illiad.

Classical Period - This is the time that most of us think of when we think of Ancient Greece. Athens was governed by a democracy and great philosophers like Socrates and Plato arose. Also, the wars between Sparta and Athens were during this time. This period ended with the rise and then death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC.

Hellenistic Period - The Hellenistic period lasted from the death of Alexander the Great until 31 BC when Rome defeated Egypt at the Battle of Actium. The name Hellenistic comes from the Greek word "Hellas", which is the original word for Greece.

Athens and Sparta

Athens and Sparta were the two main city states that ruled much of ancient Greece. They were often rivals and fought each other in the Peloponnesian Wars. At other times they united together in order to protect the Greek lands from invaders. The cultures of the two cities were very different. Sparta was almost entirely focused on war and how to fight, while Athens focused on the arts and learning.

Fun Facts about Ancient Greece

The Greeks often ate dinner while lying on their sides.

They invented the yo-yo which is considered the 2nd oldest toy in the world after the doll.

About one third of the population of some city-states were slaves.

There were more city-states than just Sparta and Athens, Ancient Greece had around 100 city-states.

The Romans copied much of the Greek culture including their gods, architecture, language, and even how they ate!

Pheidippides was a Greek hero who ran 150 miles from Marathon to Sparta to get help against the Persians. After the Greeks won the war, he ran 25 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory. This is where the marathon running race gets its name.

When law trials were held in the city of Athens, they used large juries of 500 citizens. That's a lot more than the 12 we use today.

What caused nativism and quota laws 1920s?
bulgar [2K]

Nativism, term used to refer the policy of promoting the interests of native inhabitants against those of immigrants, and the called quota laws in 1920s <em>were caused mostly by the uncertainty generated over national security during World War I,</em> which made it possible for Congress to pass the first widely restrictive immigration law in 1917 that included several important provisions that paved the way for the 1924 Act.  

The 1917 Act implemented a literacy test that required immigrants over 16 years old to demonstrate basic reading comprehension in any language. However, the literacy test described above was considered not enough to prevent most potential immigrants from entering, therefore members of Congress sought a new way to restrict immigration in the 1920s. In this sense, immigration expert and Republican Senator William P. Dillingham introduced a measure to create immigration quotas.  He set the percent of the total population of the foreign-born of each nationality in the United States basing on in the 1910 census.

In this way, it was limited the number of immigrants allowed to entry into the United States through a national origins quota. This put the total number of visas available each year to new immigrants at 350,000, excluding completely immigrants from Asia.

Which statements are true of the Magna Carta? Choose all answers that are correct.
Nata [24]

Answer:

3. The Magna Carta guaranteed that the king could not impose new taxes without permission from a council.

1. English barons and church leaders wrote the Magna Carta because they could no longer tolerate King John's abuses of their traditional rights.

Another way to rephrase the first one is;

Among the many restrictions placed upon the King by the Nobles was the idea that the king could not impose taxes without the approval of the “common counsel” of the Kingdom:

Another way to rephrase the second one is;

The committee of Twenty Five were a group of barons in the forefront of the opposition to King John who were entrusted by the terms of clause 61 of Magna Carta to ensure the king’s compliance with its terms.

The church clergy that helped were Cathedral churches in Salisbury and Lincoln.

Explanation:

Justice

King John’s father, Henry II (r. 1154–89), introduced extensive judicial reforms, established the authority of the royal courts and laid firm foundations for the future system of justice in England. In contrast, John regularly abused the justice system to suppress his opponents and to extort revenue from the barons. The justice system and feudal law were two of the main themes addressed in Magna Carta, and the most famous clause dealt with justice:

No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

The barons ensured that numerous other clauses in Magna Carta defined in more detail how the justice system and its officials were to operate. These clauses sought to remedy specific abuses by the king and to make the system more consistent, accessible and fair.

Magna Carta and peace

Many of the clauses towards the end of Magna Carta were practical arrangements for making peace. Rather than looking forward to how the king was to behave in the future, these clauses sought to put right the wrongs done by King John.

The king was immediately to return all hostages, to remove all foreign knights and mercenaries from England, to remit all fines exacted unjustly, and to restore lands, castles and liberties to all who had been wrongfully deprived of them. These clauses were not statements of legal principle, but they were a part of the peace-making process.

All the others are not true as King John had no choice at all.

Perhaps the most radical clause in Magna Carta was the 61st, which set up an elected commission of 25 barons to monitor the king’s compliance with the settlement and to enforce its terms. The 25 barons had the power to seize the king’s property in order to seek redress if he failed to keep the terms imposed on him. This innovative clause demonstrated the power invested in Magna Carta to limit royal authority
