Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist and scientist who in the early 20th century, proposed the theory of "continental drift", which states that the continents used to be joint and they have been drifting away from one another.
His theory was rejected by the scientific community, because although it is based on findings of both plants and animal species in matching sides of different continents, it lacks an explanation regarding what forces, make the continents drift.
The end of feudalism resulted in the end of imposition of taxes and other type of liabilities on the people of third estate.
Explanation:
The end of feudalism resulted in the favor of third estate (common people of the estate, who were not rich and wealthy). The end of feudalism resulted in the end of imposition of taxes and other type of liabilities.
The National Constituent Assembly which was acted on the 4 August 1789, abolished the system of feudalism in the France. This system gave freedom to the people of third estate from the burden of taxes as they were earlier forced to pay to the government of the Louise XVI.
The best example are roads.
USA economy is a mixed-market economy. It blends elements from market economy with elements from planned economies.
Private ownership is prioritized ( free market economy) but the government <em>has control over some public services</em> such as healthcare (to an extend), physical infrastructure<em> (the road system</em>), education, national defense, the postal system and some public lands.
The idea behind public ownership of these services is that they are better performed by public than private enterprise.
The roads in the USA and their infrastructure are<em> funded by taxes</em> (especially the gas one), tolls and user fees.
Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.
The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal. The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.
A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states. Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its 36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.
