Because many Romans refused to fight in the war Foreign mercenaries also provided Rome with more manpower. The Roman empire was huge and there simply were not enough Italian soldiers to fill the ranks of the legions. In addition, the foreign troops could aid the Roman forces as many of them were expert in certain specialty types of warfare such as bowmen and slingers. hope this helps
I’m pretty sure the answer is C. (According to process of elimination)
The five correct items are:
convention
caucus
direct primary
petition
announcement
Those are the means by which candidates enter the nomination process for public elections. The two terms that don't fit are "inheritance" and "promotion." An inheritance-based system would be like the old arrangements of monarchs or nobles, where someone took over the throne or provincial government simply because he was the son of the previous king or lord. A promotion-based system would mean that persons advanced to positions of public office not through democratic election processes, but by being promoted internally within the government. For some staff positions in government that does happen, and then those are appointed positions rather than elected positions. But for elected positions in the government, democratic processes are followed. Candidates for office must at least announce their candidacy. They may need a certain number of petition signatures to get their names on the official election ballot. Or they need to get on the ballot through preliminary steps by the larger political parties, such as caucuses, direct primaries, and the conventions of the parties.
The system of checks and balances makes sure that one branch of gov. Doesn't get more powerful than the other by giving different powers to different branches. Like a certain branch can't do something without the "thumbs up" from the other branch. For example, the Executive Branch can veto bills from the Legislative Branch, but the Legislative Branch can override the veto. Hopefully that helped!!
