A "Formal Amendment" is one that actually adds to or changes the US Constitution. It is ratified by the states and becomes law.
<span>An "informal amendment"is a change to the meaning or interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. There is no real informal way to change the Constitution, and it's not an actual change to the wording of the Constitution; rather, it's the way we perceive the Constitution that changes. </span>
<span>The one that comes to mind is the equal rights amendment (1972) - which prohibits the inequality of men and women. Opponents say that the amendment is no longer needed, as the issues are already law</span>
I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.
Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.
And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.
And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
Americans began to wonder if they could win the war. During the beginning of the war, morale amongst Americans was generally high and accepted a quick victory against the Viet Cong. As time went on however, fighting in the unknown terrain of Vietnam against an enemy who had no true uniform and blended in with the locals made fighting very difficult which prolonged the war. In 1968, the Viet Cong launched a nationwide surprise attack in cities, in the countryside, by splinter groups who all coordinated assaults in South Vietnam known as the Tet Offensive. The attack was a failure for the Viet Cong, but for the Americans to see the size and scope of the surprise attack in areas originally thought to be under US and South Vietnamese control was a psychological blow for the American military. They soon realized that fighting an enemy who they could not identify regardless of the hostile or friendly terrain eventually influenced the Americans decision to pull out of the war in 1973.
Answer:
Question 1: Answer is Option A: The British finally gave India a much greater level of independence.
Question 2: Answer is Option B: British companies ignored the limits imposed by the caste system and hired laborers on the basis of merit instead
Explanation:
<u>Question 1:</u>
Indian Army played a major role in world war 1. There were around 13 lakh Indian soldiers who served during World War I and fought for the Britishers. When the World War I ended in 1919, Indians were promoted to higher officer ranks. Many cadets were also sent to study in "Great Britain" at the "Royal Military College".
<u>Question 2:</u>
As far as caste system was concerned, British served their own interests as it was very difficult for them to manage large Indian population and that to with wide variety of castes. So, they created single society with common laws so that they can easily govern them. So, they use to hire labors on the basis of merit and industrialization occurred in India.
