What book helped convince the colonists and the Congress that the United States should be independent from England?

Answers

Answer:

Common Sense[1] is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776[2] at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

39.94041°N 75.14645°WMarker TextAt his print shop here, Robert Bell published the first edition of Thomas Paine's revolutionary pamphlet in January 1776. Arguing for a republican form of government under a written constitution, it played a key role in rallying American support for independence.

It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history.[3] As of 2006, it remains the all-time best-selling American title and is still in print today.[4]

Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. Paine connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity and structured Common Sense as if it were a sermon.[5][6] Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."[7]

The text was translated into French by Antoine Gilbert Griffet de Labaume in 1790.

The event which seriously damaged Jimmy Carter's presidency was  The Iranian hostage crisis. Thus option (B) is correct.

What was the Iranian hostage crisis?

The Iranian hostage crisis was like a   diplomatic crisis between the United States of America and Iran, where 52 American people were taken as hostages for 444 days (from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981).

The Iranian Hostage Crisis was caused by Jimmy Carter, who helped the Iranian Shah escape and receive medical treatment. The Iranian revolutionists didn't support this and took the US people hostages because they wanted the US government to extradite the Shah and have him stand trial for crimes he committed.

The Iranian Hostage Crisis ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The Americans were formally released during the next day, just minutes after the new American President Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

Answers

Answer: B. gradually lost control over its own economy.

Explanation:

As the British continually traded with the Mughal empire, they began to exert more and more control over the economy like they did in China. They used this to push for favorable terms in trade for the British above other European countries like Holland.

This eventually culminated with the British simply conquering the Mughal empire and taking over India and its surrounding areas through the use of the British East India Company which was the principal company controlling trade.

The government had to ___ goods to ensure supplies for the armed forced

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or any other context and references, we can comment on the following.

The government had to produce goods to ensure supplies for the armed forces.

During the times of World War and World War II, the United States had to modify what had been produced by the US industries in order to support the troops at the war front.

For instance, before entering World War II, the US lend-lease program of 1939 helped the Allies in that it gave them war supplies.

The US federal government approved the Lend-Lease Act of 1939 in order to support countries such as France and Great  Britain in the war effort. The argument to lend and lease to these countries was that their role was important to keep the United States' economic and political interests safe.

Conditions changed and after Japan's Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, President Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. That is how the US entered World War II.

Answers

The global movement toward democracy, spurred in part by the ending of the cold war, has created opportunities for democratization not only in Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also in Africa.

This book is based on workshops held in Benin, Ethiopia, and Namibia to better understand the dynamics of contemporary democratic movements in Africa. Key issues in the democratization process range from its institutional and political requirements to specific problems such as ethnic conflict, corruption, and role of donors in promoting democracy.

By focusing on the opinion and views of African intellectuals, academics, writers, and political activists and observers, the book provides a unique perspective regarding the dynamics and problems of democratization in Africa.

3. What information can a business owner obtain from a demand schedule and a demand curve?

Answers

Answer:

How much consumers are willing to buy of a product at various possible prices.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

Demand can be defined as the total amount of goods or services that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price.

The Law of Demand states that quantity of goods or services demanded varies inversely with their price, other things constant or being equal. Thus, the smaller the quantity of goods or services demanded, the higher the price and vice-versa.

An aggregate demand curve gives a negative relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in an economy at a specific period of time.

Hence, the information a business owner can obtain from a demand schedule and a demand curve is the quantity or amount of goods consumers are willing to buy at various possible prices.
