Why did the creators of the Articles of Confederation make state sovereignty a fundamental theme of the government?

They strove to prevent the abuses of power that had existed under British rule.

It was a concept embraced by many of the Enlightenment's philosophers whom the American leaders emulated

They wanted to create a conglomerate of states in which each could last on its own

It was an attempt to re-strengthen the colonial economies which had emerged prior to the American Revolution.

"First, the first fundamental, positive law of all commonwealths or states is the establishing the legislative power. As the first fundamental natural law, also, which is to govern even the legislative power itself, is the preservation of the society." Source: Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists, Nov 20, 1772. Which of the following best describes the reason for outrage over the passage of the Quartering Act?

The original bill included the right of British soldiers to house themselves in private homes regardless of the will of the homeowner

The bill included a provision which would make the inhabitants of the homes quartering British troops subservient to the commands of British officers.

The act drafted colonial residents into the provincial army against their will.

The act had a component which forbade the enlistment of colonial men in the British Army

The national government under the Articles of Confederation was given permission to do all of the following EXCEPT

admit new states into the Union

borrow money from other nations

The principle of checks and balances was a significant aspect of the Constitution because it

prevented the abuse of the central government's power

provided an emergency plan of government in case another war ever broke out

stipulated the rights and privileges that each person had as a citizen of America

was first formulated by the French philosopher, Lord Montesquieu

The government that was created under the Articles of Confederation did not last a long time because

the central government lacked the power to enforce its authority

British and Spanish intervention in the colonies led to many rebellions against the states' political system

the "Continentals" which the government printed became devalued and caused the American nation to enter an economic depression

there was growing displeasure with how the states had been functioning following the American Revolution

The Great Compromise between the Virginia and New Jersey plans addressed

representation in the legislature determined by population or per state

North and South state disagreement over how slaves should be counted in the population

large and small state divisions over assumption of states' debt by the federal government

the creation of a national bank and the location of the U.S. capital

One of the differences between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution was that

the Constitution gave the national government the power to collect taxes

the Constitution granted universal suffrage

in response to the Federalists, the Constitution banned slavery throughout America

the Constitution increased the power of state governments

Briefly explain what the Articles of Confederation accomplished or why they were created.

To create a first draft of the constitution

Lesson 2: Plate Tectonics There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of smaller, or minor, plates. Six of the majors are named for the continents embedded within them, such as the North American, African, and Antarctic plates. Though smaller in size, the minors are no less important when it comes to shaping the Earth. The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes that dot the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide. The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. They move at a rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year. Convergent BoundariesWhere plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges. India and Asia crashed about 55 million years ago, slowly giving rise to the Himalaya, the highest mountain system on Earth. As the mash-up continues, the mountains get higher. Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, may be a tiny bit taller tomorrow than it is today. These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges. In addition, the diving plate melts and is often spewed out in volcanic eruptions such as those that formed some of the mountains in the Andes of South America. At ocean-ocean convergences, one plate usually dives beneath the other, forming deep trenches like the Mariana Trench in the North Pacific Ocean, the deepest point on Earth. These types of collisions can also lead to underwater volcanoes that eventually build up into island arcs like Japan. Divergent Boundaries At divergent boundaries in the oceans, magma from deep in the Earth's mantle rises toward the surface and pushes apart two or more plates. Mountains and volcanoes rise along the seam. The process renews the ocean floor and widens the giant basins. A single mid-ocean ridge system connects the world's oceans, making the ridge the longest mountain range in the world. On land, giant troughs such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa form where plates are tugged apart. If the plates there continue to diverge, millions of years from now eastern Africa will split from the continent to form a new landmass. A mid-ocean ridge would then mark the boundary between the plates. Transform Boundaries The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary, where two plates grind past each other along what are called strike-slip faults. These boundaries don't produce spectacular features like mountains or oceans, but the halting motion often triggers large earthquakes, such as the 1906 one that devastated San Francisco.

Early society and accomplishments Origins Knowledge of the early prehistory of Southeast Asia has undergone exceptionally rapid change as a result of archaeological discoveries made since the 1960s, although the interpretation of these findings has remained the subject of extensive debate. Nevertheless, it seems clear that the region has been inhabited from the earliest times. Hominid fossil remains date from approximately 1,500,000 years ago and those of Homo sapiens from approximately 40,000 years ago. Furthermore, until about 7000 bce the seas were some 150 feet (50 metres) lower than they are now, and the area west of Makassar Strait consisted of a web of watered plains that sometimes is called Sundaland. These land connections perhaps account for the coherence of early human development observed in the Hoabinhian culture, which lasted from about 13,000 to 5000 or 4000 bce. The stone tools used by hunting and gathering societies across Southeast Asia during this period show a remarkable degree of similarity in design and development. When the sea level rose to approximately its present level about 6000 bce, conditions were created for a more variegated environment and, therefore, for more extensive differentiation in human development. While migration from outside the region may have taken place, it did not do so in a massive or clearly punctuated fashion; local evolutionary processes and the circulation of peoples were far more powerful forces in shaping the region’s cultural landscape. Technological developments and population expansion Perhaps because of a particular combination of geophysical and climatic factors, early Southeast Asia did not develop uniformly in the direction of increasingly complex societies. Not only have significant hunting and gathering populations continued to exist into the 21st century, but the familiar cultural sequences triggered by such events as the discovery of agriculture or metallurgy do not seem to apply. This is not to say that the technological capabilities of early Southeast Asian peoples were negligible, for sophisticated metalworking (bronze) and agriculture (rice) were being practiced by the end of the 3rd millennium bce in northeastern Thailand and northern Vietnam, and sailing vessels of advanced design and sophisticated navigational skills were spread over a wider area by the same time or earlier. Significantly, these technologies do not appear to have been borrowed from elsewhere but were indigenous and distinctive in character. Austronesian languages Austronesian languagesMajor divisions of the Austronesian languages. These technological changes may partially account for two crucial developments in Southeast Asia’s later prehistory. The first is the extraordinary seaborne expansion of speakers of Proto-Austronesian languages and their descendants, speakers of Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) languages, which occurred over a period of 5,000 years or more and came to encompass a vast area and to stretch nearly half the circumference of Earth at the Equator. This outward movement of people and culture was evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the result of societal preference for small groups and a tendency of groups to hive off once a certain population size had been reached. It began as early as 4000 bce, when Taiwan was populated from the Asian mainland, and subsequently it continued southward through the northern Philippines (3rd millennium bce), central Indonesia (2nd millennium bce), and western and eastern Indonesia (2nd and 1st millennia bce). From approximately 1000 bce on the expansion continued both eastward into the Pacific, where that immense region was populated in a process continuing to about 1000 ce as voyagers reached the Hawaiian Islands and New Zealand, and westward, where Malay peoples reached and settled the island of Madagascar sometime between 500 and 700 ce, bringing with them (among other things) bananas, which are native to Southeast Asia. Thus, for a considerable period of time, the Southeast Asian region contributed to world cultural history, rather than merely accepting outside influences, as frequently has been suggested. The second development, which began possibly as early as 1000 bce, centred on the production of fine bronze and the fashioning of bronze-and-iron objects, particularly as they have been found at the site in northern Vietnam known as Dong Son. The earliest objects consisted of socketed plowshares and axes, shaft-hole sickles, spearheads, and such small items as fishhooks and personal ornaments. By about 500 bce the Dong Son culture had begun producing the bronze drums for which it is known. The drums are large objects (some weigh more than 150 pounds [70 kg]), and they were produced by the difficult lost-wax casting process and decorated with fine geometric shapes and depictions of animals and humans. This metal industry was not derived from similar industries in China or India. Rather, the Dong Son period offers one of the most powerful—though not necessarily the only or earliest—examples of Southeast Asian societies transforming themselves into more densely populated, hierarchical, and centralized communities. Since typical drums, either originals or local renditions, have been found throughout Southeast Asia and since they are associated with a rich trade in exotics and other goods, the Dong Son culture also suggests that the region as a whole consisted not of isolated, primitive niches of human settlement but of a variety of societies and cultures tied together by broad and long-extant trading patterns. Although none of these societies possessed writing, some displayed considerable sophistication and technological skill, and, although none appears to have constituted a territorial centralized state, new and more complex polities were forming.

Social media influencers have not only revolutionized the way in which information is disseminated but have also established themselves as contemporary icons of society at large. They have garnered immense followings through their adept use of digital platforms, accruing considerable power and influence over public opinion. Their rise can largely be attributed to the accessibility and immediacy afforded by social media, which allows virtually anyone to become a public figure capable of shaping cultural norms. These individuals have managed to create and curate content shaping consumer habits and beliefs. Their influence extends beyond mere commercialism, encompassing social and political realms, contributing to the discourse on pressing global issues through a perceived lens of authenticity and relatability. While some argue that the democratization of media offers new opportunities for diverse voices to be amplified, concerns persist over the authenticity of influencer narratives and the potential for misleading information to be propagated unchecked. As the boundaries between entertainment, advertising, and activism have blurred, questions surrounding the ethical responsibilities of influencers have intensified. The passive consumption of carefully orchestrated content continues to elicit criticism, raising concerns about the mental well-being of susceptible audiences who may compare their lives unfavorably to those portrayed online. Simultaneously, platforms have implemented policies with varying degrees of success to ensure transparency and accountability, attempting to mitigate the potential for exploitation. The phenomenon of influence poses questions about the trajectory of society in an increasingly interconnected world, where the sway of singular voices can no longer be underestimated.
