Answer 1

Answer:

Answers for what I know are below.

Explanation:

Why do some people want term limits on members of Congress?

To prevent ¨career politicians¨ aka legislators that mostly do not work for the people they represent, but special interest groups/lobbyists (they pay them for doing what they want within the legislative branch).

Why are current methods of redistricting widely viewed as unfair?

Redistricing is now usually controlled by one political party which leads to bias, unfair, and manipulative practices (aka gerrymandering).

What is the purpose of gerrymandering?

To give a political party an advantage within an electoral district.

Explain the concept of logrolling and quid pro quo, or "You scratch my back and Il scratch yours."

A political favor in exchange for a political favor. An example would be using your position as President to appoint a Supreme Court justice´s daughter to your cabinet in exchange for upholding a view of yours in their court of law (this is illegal).

What are some differences in the powers of the House and the Senate?

The house members are voted into office from their certain congressional district (based off of population) for 2 years, while senators are voted into office from their US state for 6 years.

Impeachments (formal accusation) begin in the house, as do spending bills.

The senate votes to confirm, or deny, many federal appointees, these incude Supreme Court and other federal court judges, ambassadors, cabinet secretaries, and many others. The senate also has the sole right to hold an impeachment trial (acting as a court of law).

Answers

Answer:

In all, eight major Crusade expeditions occurred between 1096 and 1291. These groups defended the Holy Land and protected pilgrims  First Crusade (1096-99)  Jerusalem, they decided to attack the Syrian stronghold of Damascus After numerous attempts by the Crusaders of Jerusalem to capture

Historians disagree about what to include as 'the Crusades', but a sensible list would include:

1096‒1099 First Crusade First an army of peasants led by Peter the Hermit (a French priest and key leader of the Crusades) set off for the Holy Land. They were massacred by the Turks. An army of knights followed, led by Godfrey of Bouillon (Frankish knight and another leader of the first Crusades), which massacred Muslims and captured Jerusalem in 1099. The Crusaders massacred the Muslims until, it was said, the streets ran red with blood.

1145‒1149 Second Crusade King Louis VII of France invaded the Holy Land, but was defeated at Damascus.

1189‒1192 Third Crusade In 1187, the Muslim ruler Saladin had recaptured Jerusalem. The Crusaders (who included King Richard I of England) captured the port of Acre. But they quarrelled, and failed to capture Jerusalem. On the way home, Richard was kidnapped and held ransom until February 1194 when the English paid for his release.

1202-1204 Fourth Crusade The Pope wanted to unite western and eastern Christians under his authority. He diverted this Crusade, with the help of Venice, and captured Constantinople in 1204. Christians fought Christians.

1212 Children's Crusade An army of young people set off on Crusade. They were kidnapped and sold as slaves.

1217‒1250 Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Crusades All failed.

1396 Battle of Nicopolis sometimes called the 'last' Crusade An army of French and Hungarian knights were massacred. Some historians refer to it as the 'last' Crusade.

Which was a conservative view of government in Europe during the early nineteenth century?
O A.
The government should protect the freedoms of individuals.
OB
The government must act according to the will of the people.
OC.
The government must preserve the power of the monarchy.
OD
The government should provide equal opportunities to citizens.

Answers

The government must preserve the power of the monarchy was a conservative view of government in Europe during the early nineteenth century.

During the 18th century in Europe, different revolutions of thought abolished the monarchy (the system of government of the different kingdoms of Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire). This caused the monarchical systems to come to an end and new systems of government were imposed such as the constitutional monarchy in which the king no longer had absolute power.

Later, the constitutional monarchy would be transformed into the current democratic government system that exists in most countries. At the same time, this reinforced that during the early nineteenth century the idea that the government must preserve the power of the monarchy was a conservative view of government.

In the constitutional monarchical system of the early nineteenth century, the absolute monarchical system was considered conservative because it restricts individual freedom, the government did not take into account the opinion of the people and did not provide equality to citizens but rather the king and the nobility had priority in everything, while the new system if it defended these rights.

So, the correct answer is C. The government must preserve the power of the monarchy.

When a child says, I dont see why I have to know that; I cant remember it anyway, he is voicing a very reasonable protest. Of course, there are plenty of instances of wilful shirking, where a little effort can overcome the slackness of memory; but every teacher who is honest enough to reckon with himself knows he cannot give a sensible reason why things are to be taught which have so little to do with the childs life that to-morrow, or the day after examination, they will be forgotten; things which he himself could not remember were he not repeating them year in and year out, as a matter of his trade. And every teacher who has thought at all for himself about the essential nature of the young humanity he is dealing with, knows that six hours of daily herding and in-penning of young, active bodies and limbs, accompanied by the additional injunction that no feet are to be shuffled, no whispers exchanged, and no paper wads thrown, is a frightful violation of all the laws of young life. Any gardener who should attempt to raise healthy, beautiful, and fruitful plants by outraging all those plants instinctive wants and searchings, would meet as his rewardsickly plants, ugly plants, sterile plants, dead plants.

And every gardener will watch for indications with great anxiety. If he finds the plant revolts against his experiments, he will desist at once, and try something else; if he finds it thrives, he will emphasize the particular treatment so long as it seems beneficial. But what he will surely not do, will be to prepare a certain area of ground all just alike, with equal chances of sun and amount of moisture in every part, and then plant everything together without discrimination,mighty close together!saying beforehand, If plants dont want to thrive on this, they ought to want to; and if they are stubborn about it, they must be made to.In the second sentence of this paragraph, the repetition of the word things primarily serves to:A) qualify a claim by acknowledging an exception to itB) portray contrasting viewpoints as equally legitimateC) clarify an argument by restating it in simpler termsD) illustrate a generalization with a particular caseE) strengthen an assertion by broadening its implications simplify 4 to the 11th power over 4 to the -8th power (CH3CH2)2CHCH(CH3)2 Check all that apply.
