can you please help me with this world history about the Roman Republic ​

Answers

Answer:

It all began when the Romans overthrew their Etruscan conquerors in 509 B.C.E. Centered north of Rome, the Etruscans had ruled over the Romans for hundreds of years. Once free, the Romans established a republic, a government in which citizens elected representatives to rule on their behal

Explanation:

The History went a little like this. According to legend, Romulus killed Remus -- both descendants of Aeneas, and founded Rome in 753 BC. After a bunch of kings, the Etruscans took over in the 600s BC, who were overthrown by the Romans in 509 BC. This resulted in the ROMAN REPUBLIC.

The Roman Republic is an indirect democracy in which citizens get to choose their leader to make the decisions for them. Furthermore, the republic is a tripartite, including the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the Judicial branch, just like the US nowadays.

The executive brach consists of 2 consuls, basically presidents, who can veto each other in case of corruption. During emergencies, a dictator out of the two consuls is appointed; the dictator has temporary supreme power, until the crisis is over. For example, Cincinnatus was a famous dictator who also inspired George Washington when setting up the US government.

The legislative branch is basically the Senate, with 300 upper class members, primarily for proposing laws and voting. I believe they also have a plebeian assembly, which can veto the laws to make sure it doesn't oppress the plebeians too much. The judicial branch has 8 judges, who can supervise the overall running of the country and check for corruption.

That's basically it. Hope you find this helpful.

Answer:

It means that slavery is a tyrannical system.

Explanation:

This sentence was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and was aimed at explaining slavery as something tyrannical and suffocating, which does not allow the responsibility and the rights of each man over himself, because it makes some men have too much power over others, while other men have no alternative but to completely obey the powerful, losing their freedom, autonomy and responsibility over themselves and their own actions.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the" scenario." Without that information about the scenario, we do not know what you are talking about.

Although you forgot to include that important information, trying to help we can comment on the following.

It is not so easy for civil servants to propose modifications because they do not have the proper knowledge of international safety regulations. That is why the political appointee has more credentials to make decisions regarding airlanes safety.

The goal of the FAA is to research and survey to develop the most advanced protocols in security for the airplane transportation system and ensure effective traffic control.

Explain ONE way in which commodities affected economies in the Americas, Africa, and Europe in the period c. 1450 to 1750.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

One way in which commodities affected economies in the Americas, Africa, and Europe in the period c. 1450 to 1750 was the following.

European superpowers dominated the world economy in that above-mentioned period. The Columbus exchange represented the trade and transportation of goods, people, and diseases, affecting the Americas.

These European nations explored, conquered, and colonized many territories in North America, Mesoamerica, South America, and Asia.

In North America, white English colonies settled towns and founded colonies. In Mesoamerica and South America, the Spanish did d the same. English, French, Spaniards, and even Portuguese in the region of modern-day Brasil, exploited the many raw materials and natural resources to make huge profits trading goods.

Yeats later, something similar happened with the Scramble for Africa. Those European nations and Germany colonized and splot the African territory from 1845 to approximately 1914. They did exactly the same, exploited the raw materials for big profits.

One way in which commodities affected the economies of the Americas, Africa and Europe in the period 1450 to 1750 was through European expansionism, which colonized the Americas and Africa in search of resources.

In the period from 1450 to 1750, Europe was experiencing a period of scarcity and trade barriers, which generated the need to develop new technologies such as the creation of the:

These technologies boosted the great European navigations, in search of unknown lands and new resources to increase wealth and power.

Through the great navigations, therefore, there was the establishment of colonies in the Americas and Africa, strengthening the mercantilist trade, the bourgeoisie and the slavery of people to work and develop the colonies.
