Answer:
Articles
The Articles of Confederation only set up the Continental Congress at the federal level. There were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. The states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to Congress. The bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. States were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.
Strengths
Not many historians today talk about the strengths of the Articles of Confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. The Articles did set the legislative body, Congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. Congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. Disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to Congress. The document also stipulated that Canada was allowed to enter the Union if they desired.
Weaknesses
There were more weaknesses than strengths under the Articles of Confederation. The lack of power given to the Continental Congress strangled the federal government. The Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. If a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. Without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. Amending the Articles of Confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

Persian myths and legends
Answers
Answer:
The term 'mythology' comes from the Greek mythos (story-of-the-people) and logos (word or speech), meaning the spoken story of a people. Every civilization of the ancient world developed a belief system, which is characterized as 'mythology' in the present day but which, for them, was religious belief, and this was as true for ancient Persia as for any other. These systems only became designated as “mythological” after they had been replaced by others which, even so, continued to express the same values emphasizing the forces of good and order over those of evil and chaos.
Oral tradition was especially important and storytelling a central value in ancient Persian culture, and so the stories of the old continued to be told, and many of the deities, now reimagined, appear in the works of the oldest monotheistic religion, Zoroastrianism, which developed between c. 1500-1000 BCE. This faith developed from an earlier polytheistic system featuring a pantheon of gods, led by their king Ahura Mazda, who stood against the forces of the evil spirit Angra Mainyu. The prophet Zoroaster revised this earlier vision so that Ahura Mazda became the one true god while the most significant of the other deities became emanations and manifestations of his eternal goodness.
The stories which had once made up the religious understanding of the people now became fables – myths – which entertained while also encouraging the same cultural values they always had, only now in a monotheistic context. The god Mithra might still be invoked and his battle with the dragon Azhi Dahaka still be told, but it was understood that Mithra was now simply Ahura Mazda fighting the forces of evil.
Many of the other gods of the original Early Iranian Religion were forgotten, however, and are only known through brief reference in Zoroastrian scripture, religious literature, and the tales collected and written down in works such as the Shahnameh and One Thousand Nights and a Night. Since ancient Iran/Persia maintained an oral tradition until the Sassanian Period (224-651 CE), there is no ancient text along the lines of Hesiod’s Theogony or Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey (both c. 8th century BCE) describing and defining the old gods at the time they were being worshipped. Inscriptions found in the ruins of cities like Susa or at the great temple of Chogha Zanbil (also known as Dur Untush) provide only the most basic allusions to deities predating the development of Zoroastrianism.
The gods, creatures, and heroes who made up these early stories of ancient Persian mythology are therefore scattered amongst the various works of Zoroastrianism and later collections of myth and fable. A comprehensive list, or at least an attempt at one, should therefore prove useful to anyone interested in the subject of Persian mythology and religion specifically or the study of myth, folklore, and religion generally.
The following is a list of the various entities of pre-Zoroastrian Persia who appear in some of the most famous myths and legends. The list attempts to be complete but will omit some minor deities and even some heroes whose qualities are represented by others more famous. The list will also include religious concepts and places considered important in ancient Persian religion, such as the Chinvat Bridge which souls crossed from life to death or the House of Song, the Persian vision of paradise. The following are all drawn from the sources listed below in the bibliography.

what was the status of enslaved people in the Medieval Muslim world?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
La historia del comercio árabe de esclavos está relacionada con la práctica de la esclavitud en el mundo islámico, principalmente en Asia Occidental, África del Norte, África Oriental y algunos lugares de Europa (como la península ibérica, el sur de Italia durante el período de dominación musulmana, o el Imperio otomano) y actualmente en algunos países musulmanes del Sahel. El comercio árabe de esclavos se concentraba en los mercados esclavistas de Oriente Medio y el norte de África. Los esclavos con los que se comerciaba no estaban limitados a ningún tipo de color, etnia o religión, y entre ellos se incluían árabes y bereberes, especialmente en los primeros tiempos de la esclavitud musulmana.
Posteriormente, durante los siglos VIII y IX, en la época del califato islámico, la mayoría de los esclavos musulmanes eran obtenidos principalmente a partir de los pueblos eslavos (de donde derivaría la palabra esclavo en varios idiomas) de la Europa Oriental, (llamados Saqaliba por los musulmanes), persas, turcos, pueblos de las montañas del Cáucaso, como los georgianos, armenios y circasianos, así como pueblos de Asia Central, Escandinavia, bereberes del norte de África y otros pueblos de origen variado, como pueblos negros de origen africano.
A partir del siglo XVIII los esclavos del mundo musulmán llegaron mayoritariamente del sur del Sahara, y especialmente de África Oriental, hasta que la esclavitud fue oficialmente abolida a finales del siglo XIX.1234 No obstante, la esclavitud todavía sobrevive actualmente en el mundo musulmán de forma mucho más limitada o camuflada bajo prácticas abusivas o clandestinas en los países árabes del Golfo Pérsico, donde llegan mujeres y niños de los antiguos Estados soviéticos, Europa Oriental, el Lejano Oriente, África, el sur de Asia y otras partes de Oriente Medio.567
Todas las sociedades musulmanas han sido esclavistas, desde Arabia al este de África, de Persia a Indonesia o la antigua España islámica.[cita requerida] Algunos Estados musulmanes como el Imperio otomano, el kanato de Crimea y Sokoto, fueron sociedades basadas en la esclavitud. Se calcula que unos 10-18 millones de subsaharianos fueron vendidos en países musulmanes.89 Entre el año 1530 a 1780, alrededor de 1,25 millones de europeos fueron esclavizados en el norte de África10 y otros 2-3 millones de eslavos fueron vendidos por el Kanato de Crimea, en donde el 75% de la población estaba compuesta por esclavos.1112 En una sola razia, en el año 1769 fueron capturadas unas 20 000 personas en una de las últimas cometidas por Crimea.13
A pesar de la abolición de la esclavitud, cientos de personas siguen siendo esclavizadas por musulmanes en diferentes países. Tan sólo en 2014, más de 260 niñas fueron vendidas en el norte de Nigeria por islamistas. Las razias también son frecuentes en Kenia, en donde otras 12 mujeres fueron raptadas el mismo año.1415 Otros 35.000 cristianos son actualmente esclavos en Sudán, en donde se siguen los preceptos de la Sharia.

How did the US join World War II?The United States had been on the outside of World War II for two years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which drew the country into the battle.
The start of WWI was less complicated than the start of WW2. The five-strong major European powers were swiftly drawn into hostilities after a 'big bang' outbreak in August 1914.
The United States' entry into World War I was likewise less complicated than the United States' entry into World War II. By 1917, there was little opposition to participating in the war. President Woodrow Wilson requested a declaration of war against Germany in April, partly in response to Berlin's doctrine of unrestricted submarine warfare (sinking commercial ships without warning).
Hence, option (B) is accurate.

Which statement best summarizes how homesteaders responded to the hardships of the American frontier? Most homesteaders sold their land and moved to urban areas. Many homesteaders overcame the difficulties and built new lives. Most homesteaders abandoned their land, but a few did not. Many homesteaders were relocated to distant reservations.
Answers
Answer:
Many homesteaders overcame the difficulties and built new lives.
Explanation:
While many people (US adult citizens) through the Homestead Act of 1862, moved out west across the Mississippi, the region was characterized by so many hardships for the settlers. The hardships were caused by various factors such as incessant hail, droughts, insect swarms, lack of building materials, etc.
However, given that the requirement to own the acquired land is to stay there too and build a residence and cultivation of land, many homesteaders overcame the difficulties and built new lives.
This was evident by the homesteaders continue stays and work on the farmland until around the 1870s when as a result of railroad expansion, when farm equipment became accessible, thereby, large farms started to prosper through economies of scale.

Answers
Answer:
1. the death of Hamlet's father - Claudius
2. the death of Hamlet's father and the ensuing hasty marriage - Gertrude
3. Ophelia's rejection of Hamlet's love - Polonius
4. disappointment at not being named king after his father's death - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Explanation:
Hamlet is a character who goes through many difficult situations, such as the murder of his father, the usurpation of the throne that belonged to his father, the marriage of his mother to the murderer, the rule and death of the woman he loves, the specter of father walking through the fantas and a highly shaken psychologist. All of these things make Hamlet have attitudes that are considered abnormal for the other characters who faithfully believe that Hamlet is crazy.
Hamlet is not crazy, but Claudius (the killer of Hamlet's father) believes that he went crazy because of his father's death. Gertrudes believes he is dead because of her marriage shortly after the death of Hamlet's father and her husband. Polonius believes that he is crazy for not having achieved the love of Ophelia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern believe that he is crazy for not being his father's successor.
Answer:
1. the death of Hamlet's father - Claudius
2. the death of Hamlet's father and the ensuing hasty marriage - Gertrude
