Answer:
1 The British ships in the movie appear to be expected at the mole during daylight hours, although orders given at the beginning of June 1940 had made it clear that they would only come in at night.
2 Equally remiss is the failure to profile the bitter rows between French and British commanders over whether the British should carry on holding the port until more French troops could be evacuated. Nor is there even the smallest reference to the number of troops left behind at Dunkirk when the evacuation was terminated: on the British side, a hospital full of British wounded staffed by a skeleton staff of doctors and medical orderlies, and on the French side no less than 80,000 soldiers.
3 women appear at Dunkirk on some of the little ships, although I never encountered any in the course of my research.
After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d'état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804.
Answer:
The Pilgrims established a government of sorts under the Mayflower Compact of 1620, which enshrined the notion of the consent of the governed. Next, in 1630, the Puritans used the royal charter establishing the Massachusetts Bay Company to create a government in which “freemen”—white males who owned property and paid taxes and thus could take on the responsibility of governing—elected a governor and a single legislative body called the Great and General Court, made up of assistants and deputies.
Explanation:
Conflicts arose over the arbitrariness of the assistants, and in 1641 the legislature created the Body of Liberties. This document was a statement of principles for governance that protected individual liberties and was the basis for the guarantees later expressed in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. In 1644 this single body became an entity made up of two chambers: the House of Assistants (later the Senate) and the House of Deputies (later the House of Representatives). This set the precedent of bicameralism for most governmental legislatures in the United States, including the eventual federal legislature.
