Maya architecture is best characterized by the soaring pyramid temples and ornate palaces which were built in all Maya centres across Mesoamerica from El Tajin in the north to Copan in the south. The Maya civilization was formed of independent city-states and, consequently, there are regional variations in architecture but almost all buildings were constructed with a precise attention to position and layout and a general style prevails. Multi-level elevated platforms, massive step-pyramids, corbelled roofing, monumental stairways, and exteriors decorated with sculpture and mouldings of Maya glyphs, geometric shapes, and iconography from religion such as serpent masks are all typical features of Maya architecture. Interestingly, unlike many other cultures, Maya architecture makes no particular distinction between religious and non-religious buildings.

Answer:

The Maya were certainly aware of, and were often admirers of, the Mesoamerican cultures which had gone before them, especially the Olmec and at Teotihuacan, and so they took inspiration from this Mesoamerican heritage when developing their own unique architecture.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

C) It will not pass because most proposed amendments do not pass.

Explanation:

It is very hard to pass an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The US Constitution states that an amendment can be proposed by the Congress or by a Constitutional convention called for two-thirds of the states legislatures. But the last option has never been used. Just the first one, when two-thirds of the Congress has a majority vote.

This means in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. And an amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, this means, 38 of the 50 states. Then, an amendment becomes part of the Constitution.

Why might ghettos have been an entirely Eastern phenomenon, not built in Germany or other Nazicontrolled areas?
sergey [27]
<span>In Nazi, Germany they were enforced ghettos. Jewish people were forced to move into them to be kept separate from the general population and make them an easier target since they were already isolated from others. In the US, ghettos emerged because when people emigrated to the US they had a tendency to settle down among their own ethnicity, so the ghettos sprang up from that.</span>
