History

sineoko [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The US paid certain “contributions”, not taxes, (but you might call those contributions coming from US taxes anyway) to the Barbary States, a string of North African ports, such as Oran, Algiers, Tripoli, Tunis, mainly dominated by pirates, aka Barbary corsaires, that were nominally subdued to Ottoman Empire.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Mexican independence was achieved when Mestizo and Creole leaders joined forces in the early 1820s so this statement is <u>True</u>.

<h3>How did the Mexicans achieve independence?</h3>

The Mexicans tried to gain independence twice but because they were divided, the Spanish were able to crush both rebellions.

This changed in the early 1820s when Mestizo and Creole leaders joined forces. This led to the installation of a King/ Emperor in the form of Agustin de Iturbide but his reign lasted for just a year.

Which group is not TRULY a part of the Caste System? *
Law Incorporation [45]
The Varna system in Dharma-shastras divides society into four varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishya and Shudras). Those who fall out of this system because of their grievous sins are ostracised as outcastes (untouchables) and considered outside the varna system. The system which divides Hindus into rigid hierarchical groups based on their karma (work) and dharma (the Hindi word for religion, but here it means duty) is generally accepted to be more than 3,000 years old.

How did caste come about?

Manusmriti , widely regarded to be the most important and authoritative book on Hindu law and dating back to at least 1,000 years before Christ was born, "acknowledges and justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society".

The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Many believe that the groups originated from Brahma, the Hindu God of creation. At the top of the hierarchy were the Brahmins who were mainly teachers and intellectuals and are believed to have come from Brahma's head. Then came the Kshatriyas, or the warriors and rulers, supposedly from his arms. The third slot went to the Vaishyas, or the traders, who were created from his thighs. At the bottom of the heap were the Shudras, who came from Brahma's feet and did all the menial jobs.

The main castes were further divided into about 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes, each based on their specific occupation.

Outside of this Hindu caste system were the achhoots - the Dalits or the untouchables.

How does caste work?

For centuries, caste has dictated almost every aspect of Hindu religious and social life, with each group occupying a specific place in this complex hierarchy.

Rural communities have long been arranged on the basis of castes - the upper and lower castes almost always lived in segregated colonies, the water wells were not shared, Brahmins would not accept food or drink from the Shudras, and one could marry only within one's caste.

write an organized paragraph answering the following question. An important feature of the U.S constitution is its provision for
MArishka [77]

The US Constitution divided power in three independent branches: the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. This separation applies to the federal government and also to the government of each of the States.

The main aim was to keep power balanced. The Constitution also established the 'Checks and Balances' system, through which each of the powers can check on the others and prevent that they exceed their functions. None of the three powers could gather such a large amount of power to rule over the others, without being punished.

Why have some African nations taken steps towards democracy in recent years?
sasho [114]
The Movement Toward Democracy in Africa

The workshops were convened against the background of what many observers have called the ''second wave of liberation in Africa.'' Authoritarian regimes are being challenged by individuals and movements in search of more democratic forms of governance. Africans in many countries are showing remarkable persistence in forcing their leaders to comply with popular demands for political pluralism to replace the common one-party regimes. Calls for open and democratic governance, characterized by popular participation, competitive elections, and free flow of information can be heard in many African countries.

This new disposition toward democratization in Africa is a consequence of pressures both internal and external to African societies. To be sure, the continent's declining economic fortunes have made people more skeptical and critical of their governments, with new African thinking prompting individuals to move beyond old taboos. Demands from within African countries are pressing leaders to deliver on the promises of economic growth and prosperity they made in order to encourage the acceptance of structural adjustment policies supported by international financial institutions. The new insistence by external aid donors and creditors on good governance also has provided a window of opportunity for African democrats to push for transparency and accountability in their countries. Likewise, the worldwide democratic revolution and its corresponding summons to protect and promote individual human rights have contributed to generating protests
