Protection is one of the five major purposes of government. Briefly explain why protection is an important government purpose. Then briefly describe how the United States government fulfills that purpose.
Dutch Golden Age: Prior to 1568, the Dutch had been under the rule of Philip II of Spain. Spain had grown in size and power since the acquisition of colonies in the Americas. The Dutch however, wanted their independence. In 1604, the Dutch Republic developed into their own independent state. They benefited from the increased trade and port cities the Spanish had earlier maintained, giving the Dutch Republic an advantage and would lead to the later creation of the Dutch East India Company, a major player in global trade. Additionally, the Dutch had an advantage due to their relationship with the Japanese as well. While Japan had closed its ports to most European powers, the Dutch were allowed limited trading rights within the Asian empire. The advantages of trade and access to resources and luxury goods would usher in a “Golden Age” in the Dutch Republic in which the arts and science flourished.

The main idea of this passage is to educate readers or listeners on the history and background of the powerful Dutch East India Company, it's country of origin, the Dutch Republic, and the factors that led to it eventually becoming nationalized as the Dutch East Indies.

n three to five sentences, describe how and why the colonists declared independence
Answer:
The 13 American colonies cut their political ties with Great Britain by publishing the Declaration of Independence, which was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The Declaration enumerated the reasons for the colonies' desire for independence. The American colonies were able to seal an official alliance with the French government and receive French support in the battle against Great Britain by proclaiming themselves an independent country. North American colonists were increasingly at conflict with British imperial policies about taxes and frontier policy throughout the 1760s and early 1770s. When repeated protests failed to sway British policy and instead resulted in the closure of Boston's port and the establishment of martial law in Massachusetts, the colonial governments dispatched delegates to the Continental Congress to plan a colonial boycott of British products.
Answer:
One way the colonists declared independence was by throwing the taxed tea into the Boston Harbor. Some Sons of Liberty dressed as Native Americans and snuck onto one of the boats. There were over 300 barrels of tea dumped. The colonists declared their need for independence because they realized how wrong it was for the British to be controlling them that much and taxing them on everything.

Like any great empire that has come before or after it, the theories surrounding the fall of Rome are many. Since the empire crumbled, all other great empires or nations have been compared to Rome, with many coming up short. For many, understanding the fall of Rome is the key to the survival of our great nation, the United States. For much of this century, the U.S. has been compared to the Roman Empire in about every conceivable way. There are those who say that we are following the same path to destruction as the ancient Romans. So, why did Rome fall? Could their fate have been averted, and if so, would the world be different today? The answer lies in what you think after you have looked at all the facts. Let's examine what we know. We know the great empire known as Rome no longer exists. Now let's look at what we don't know. The following are a number of theories to help get you started thinking about the fall of Rome.
1. Did plagues reduce the population to the point it could not sustain itself?
2. Did civil wars lessen the strength of the empire and weaken the population?
3. Did the army lose its discipline and thus endanger the empire and cause it to be overrun?
4. Did the citizens of Rome become too satisfied and lazy, allowing the empire to crumble due to neglect?
5. Did the empire bureaucracy become too top heavy, eventually causing the empire to collapse upon itself?
6. Did it fall as the result of barbarian invasions?
7. Did the empire spend too much of its resources on the poor, thus drawing away precious funds from the empire?
8. Was the Roman Empire just too big, making a collapse inevitable?
9. What similarities exist between Rome and the United States?
10. Do you feel the United States is in the process of decline as a nation?
11. Assume for the minute that the U.S. is declining in a manner similar to Rome. How would you stop the slide and return the U.S. to its prior greatness?
12. Why did Rome fall? Internal/external conflicts? Explain.
Answer:
1. Did plagues reduce the population to the point it could not sustain itself?
Plagues did reduce the population, but not to the point it couldn't sustain itself the plague was like a bee sting to the empire. It hurt but it didn't make it fall.
2.Did civil wars lessen the strength of the empire and weaken the population?
In the begging it helped quite a bit, but when men started dying the empire was no longer safe and they were losing strength and the empire was becoming weak.
3. Did the army lose its discipline and thus endanger the empire and cause it to be overrun?
Yes, but instead of being over run it made it easier for the goths and the Heruli to invade the south part of the Balkan Peninsula several times as well as making the Franks and Alemanni feel encouraged to plunder northern Gaul.
4. Did the citizens of Rome become too satisfied and lazy, allowing the empire to crumble due to neglect?
Yes, this was a pretty big issue to rome. The soldiers used to have to pay for the armor in war, but a new rule came upon making the state pay so the poor could fight as well this is only one reason but a pretty important reason it crumbled.
5. Did the empire bureaucracy become too top heavy, eventually causing the empire to collapse upon itself?
Yes, the leaders, emperors, and government all became too heavy headed and took advantage of their powers making the top half collapse.
6. Did it fall as the result of barbarian invasions?
Yes, partially because of them in 200 bce and partially because of other issues.

Answer:
“ Under the reign of Süleiman the Magnificent, whose 16th-century lifetime represented the peak of the Ottomans' power and influence, the arts flourished, technology and architecture reached new heights, and the empire generally enjoyed peace, religious tolerance, and economic and political stability.”
Explanation:
Answer:Ottoman Empire, empire created by Turkish tribes in Anatolia (Asia Minor) that grew to be one of the most powerful states in the world during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Ottoman period spanned more than 600 years and came to an end only in 1922, when it was replaced by the Turkish Republic and various successor states in southeastern Europe and the Middle East. At its height the empire encompassed most of southeastern Europe to the gates of Vienna, including present-day Hungary, the Balkan region, Greece, and parts of Ukraine; portions of the Middle East now occupied by Iraq, Syria, Israel, and Egypt; North Africa as far west as Algeria; and large parts of the Arabian Peninsula. The term Ottoman is a dynastic appellation derived from Osman I (Arabic: ʿUthmān), the nomadic Turkmen chief who founded both the dynasty and the empire about 1300.

Explain Napoleon's infamy in at least 8 sentences.
Before getting into that, infamy is when people know a person for bad quality or deed. It can also be known as Notorious.
Napoleon was a French general. He was very skilled in leading his army to victory, even despite the circumstances. One time, Napoleon fought two forces at the same war and won. He was known as a supreme war leader, and they made him the Commander in Cheif of his nation. As a result, soldiers lost their lives, and people started to lose hope in Neoplean. He had excellent talent and leadership experience, for example, living off the land to boost the soldiers' speed. This caused his army to be at multiple places at once, enabling them to strike forces simultaneously. All this caused other nations to team up and stop Napolean because of all the killing he has done.

The rights of women were limited and undercalss was heavily regulated. Napoleons 1798 invasion of Egypt was a military political mess. The French sent its greatest to to conquer. In his will Napoleon wrote that he wanted his ashes to rest by the banks of the Seine in the midst of the french people. Napolen's ashes are a big tourist attraction to this day in Paris.
