In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>

He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's  steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).

It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.

A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.

The fourteenth amendment was written to protect african americans from laws that tried to take away their rights true or false
NikAS [45]
Hey there! Hello!

I would agree with this statement. The fourteenth amendment has to do with voiding laws/actions that deprive anyone of their constitutional rights, especially members of the African American community. It also has to do with citizenship, defining a citizen of America as anyone who was born on American soil – including African Americans. That citizenship can also not be taken from you as a result. 

The fourteenth amendment also covers things like due process clause, equal protection clause, and general fair treatment of every American human being. I encourage you to do your own research on the topic in your spare time, but for now, your answer is True. 

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask any additional questions if you have any.

What was the authority behind both the mayflower compact and the declaration of independence?
ira [324]

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence was issued “by authority of the good people of these colonies.” It was a revolution, you know.

The Pilgrims did not cite any specific authority for the Mayflower Compact. However, they declared themselves to be loyal subjects of the king of Great Britain. The Compact was based on their experience in organizing dissenting churches in England and, I suppose, in the Netherlands, where they had sought shelter from persecution. In some ways it was in keeping with the English common law, which dealt with problems and controversies as they arose, rather than waiting for the government to settle them. But in some ways it was a revolutionary, democratic statement, asserting the colonists’ right to make their own laws.
