History

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago

Answer:

Popular Sovereignty is all about rule by the people. The basic premise here is that the people decide what happens in the state or country by voting. This voting can either be for representatives to then make decisions on behalf of the voters, or it can be a direct vote by the voters on key issues.

The Kansas - Nebraska Act was passed when the two then territories wanted to become states yet there was contention in Congress as to whether to make it a slave state or a free state.

It was agreed that the people of the territories would vote on whether they wanted to be a free state or a slave state and this is the very premise of Popular Sovereignty.

What were the short-term and long-term impacts of the legionaries on Rome?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Short term:

On the death of Augustus, in AD 14, three legions stationed in Pannonia (present-day Hungary) rebelled. In his Annals of him, Tacitus explains that the mutiny began when the commander loosened discipline and the troops indulged in idleness and slander. In the image, a funeral stele of a Norse rider of a legion. 1st century Museum of Roman Civilization, Rome.

Long term:

Since its transformation into a professional army, composed of disciplined and efficient men, the legions of Rome were the spearhead of the Empire. In the image, brooch with insignia of the X Legion. 1st century Israel Museum, Jerusalem. A legion was an efficient war machine, but also a disciplined group of workers capable of building roads, bridges, aqueducts, levees, ports, and forts. The latter could be permanent or temporary, built according to the same scheme but with different materials. In this illustration by Peter Conolly, a legionnaire cleans and repairs his armor from him in front of his barracks.

¿cómo se explica la existencia de los zoológicos humanos en Europa?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Los zoológicos humanos, también llamados exposiciones etnológicas, eran exposiciones públicas de humanos de los siglos XIX y XX, generalmente en un estado "natural" o "primitivo" erróneamente etiquetado. Los zoológicos humanos de un solo hombre también existieron ya en el siglo XVII en Londres. Las exhibiciones a menudo enfatizaban las diferencias culturales entre los europeos de la civilización occidental y los pueblos no europeos o con otros europeos que practicaban un estilo de vida considerado más primitivo. Algunos de ellos ubicaron a las poblaciones indígenas en un continuo entre los grandes simios y los europeos.
