Answer:

Bill of Rights of the United States of America (1791)

Explanation:

The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. James Madison wrote the amendments, which list specific prohibitions on governmental power, in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties. For example, the Founders saw the ability to speak and worship freely as a natural right protected by the First Amendment. Congress is prohibited from making laws establishing religion or abridging freedom of speech. The Fourth Amendment safeguards citizens’ right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion in their homes through the requirement of a warrant. The Bill of Rights was strongly influenced by the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason. Other precursors include English documents such as the Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the English Bill of Rights, and the Massachusetts Body of Liberties. One of the many points of contention between Federalists, who advocated a strong national government, and Anti-Federalists, who wanted power to remain with state and local governments, was the Constitution’s lack of a bill of rights that would place specific limits on government power. Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty. Madison, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, altered the Constitution’s text where he thought appropriate. However, several representatives, led by Roger Sherman, objected, saying that Congress had no authority to change the wording of the Constitution. Therefore, Madison’s changes were presented as a list of amendments that would follow Article VII. The House approved 17 amendments. Of these, the Senate approved 12, which were sent to the states for approval in August 1789. Ten amendments were approved (or ratified). Virginia’s legislature was the final state legislature to ratify the amendments, approving them on December 15, 1791.

Mafia organizations are more of a threat than terrorist groups because they modify democracies from within by introducing their illicit earnings into the legal economy. Their businesses defeat the competition because, by counting on these illegal parallel markets, they can lower their prices. Mafia assets also finance the banking, construction, and transportation sectors of the economy.

Mafia organizations are more of a threat than terrorist groups because they modify democracies from within by introducing their illicit earnings into the legal economy. Their businesses defeat the competition because, by counting on these illegal parallel markets, they can lower their prices. Mafia assets also finance the banking, construction and transportation sectors of the economy.

When we think about mafia organizations, we are inclined to see only their illicit activities: drug trafficking, weapons and racketeering. But this is only the surface; behind these lies an enormous and illegally amassed economic power, which is camouflaged and laundered until it becomes legal. As difficult as it is to track the routes of drugs, it is even harder to follow a money trail in the era of online banking and cyberfinance.

To get an idea about the economic power of mafia organizations, consider that in 2009 the executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, revealed that money from organized crime made up the only liquid investment capital available to some banks seeking to avoid failure during the 2008 crisis. Between 2007 and 2009, banks in the United States and Europe lost more than one trillion dollars on bad loans and toxic assets. Liquidity had become the main problem of the banking system. As a result, banks loosened their protections against money laundering and opened up their safes to the mafia’s dirty money, which was primarily from drug trafficking. These funds were then laundered and absorbed into the legal economic system.

European countries have very few protections against the aggression of the mafia’s assets. Today mafia organizations not only launder their money in tax havens, but everywhere. London has become the European and possibly the global capital for money laundering. Germany is high on the Financial Secrecy Index, ahead of Bahrain, Bermuda and Panama.

The strength of criminal organizations is the lack of attention they receive from governments and their ability to garner social consensus – in cases where the state is absent, the mafia “offers services” to citizens. Their winning formula is simple: an extreme tendency toward economic evolution combined with a minimal tendency toward cultural evolution.

It is a mistake to talk about “European mafias” or “mafias in Europe” because the mafia is the most globalized multinational corporation there is. Drug trafficking, its biggest revenue maker, requires a network that involves diverse countries and organizations all around the world. Until now, repression has been the only method used to fight it. However, it is inconceivable that the mafia’s impact on legal markets and democratic stability is not the primary concern of world leaders. It is also inconceivable that moves toward the legalization of drugs and improvements in anti-money laundering laws have not been made. Not to mention the fact that terrorists and mafia organizations often act in synergy.

And so, we must ask ourselves: How are terrorist organizations financed? Organized crime groups do not scorn anyone; they do business with the richest banks, as well as the most dangerous terrorist groups.

Some historians argue that the concept of race was invented in the British colonies in the 1600s. What do they mean by this?

Answers

Race as a categorizing term referring to human beings was first used in the English language in the late 16th century. Until the 18th century it had a generalized meaning similar to other classifying terms such as type, sort, or kind. Occasional literature of Shakespeare’s time referred to a “race of saints” or “a race of bishops.” By the 18th century, race was widely used for sorting and ranking the peoples in the English colonies—Europeans who saw themselves as free people, Amerindians who had been conquered, and Africans who were being brought in as slave labour—and this usage continues today.

The peoples conquered and enslaved were physically different from western and northern Europeans, but such differences were not the sole cause for the construction of racial categories. The English had a long history of separating themselves from others and treating foreigners, such as the Irish, as alien “others.” By the 17th century their policies and practices in Ireland had led to an image of the Irish as “savages” who were incapable of being civilized. Proposals to conquer the Irish, take over their lands, and use them as forced labour failed largely because of Irish resistance. It was then that many Englishmen turned to the idea of colonizing the New World. Their attitudes toward the Irish set precedents for how they were to treat the New World Indians and, later, Africans.

Explanation:

The early 20th century was an era of business expansion and progressive reform in the United States. The progressives, as they called themselves, worked to make American society a better and safer place in which to live. They tried to make big business more responsible through regulations of various kinds. They worked to clean up corrupt city governments, to improve working conditions in factories, and to better living conditions for those who lived in slum areas, a large number of whom were recent immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many progressives were also concerned with the environment and conservation of resources.

This generation of Americans also hoped to make the world a more democratic place. At home, this meant expanding the right to vote to women and a number of election reforms such as the recall, referendum, and direct election of Senators. Abroad, it meant trying to make the world safe for democracy. In 1917, the United States joined Great Britain and France--two democratic nations--in their war against autocratic Germany and Austria-Hungary. Soon after the Great War, the majority of Americans turned away from concern about foreign affairs, adopting an attitude of live and let live.

The 1920s, also known as the "roaring twenties" and as "the new era," were similar to the Progressive Era in that America continued its economic growth and prosperity. The incomes of working people increased along with those of middle class and wealthier Americans. The major growth industry was automobile manufacturing. Americans fell in love with the automobile, which radically changed their way of life. On the other hand, the 1920s saw the decline of many reform activities that had been so widespread after 1900.

The most significantly impactful event during 1900s to 1930s was Great Depression

The Great Depression was a global depression, hitting various economies during 1930s. It initiated in United States as an aftermath of banking system and stock market crash of 1929.

It had created a panic situation & adverse situation for investors. National output & investment levels were consecutive years. So, level of expenditures employment had also significantly dropped. Homelesness & deflation were also very concerning.

Answers

Answer:

Normally, in a revolution, a government is overthrown and replaced by another type of government. An example of a revolution is the American Revolution, in which the British monarchy got rejected by the colonists in the Thirteen Colonies. From the rejection, it resulted in a war in which the Thirteen Colonies uprised against the British. Both argued over a disagreement about the way the colonies wanted to be treated versus the way Great Britain treated the colonies. Ultimately, the idea of equality among the people and government became a major concern. However, resulting in a war from a dispute did not bring satisfaction to anybody. Instead,  The Revolutionary War was “not revolutionary” because it did not significantly change the lives of British citizens, African Americans or women during and after the war.

Others may think the Revolutionary War was revolutionary is because the government was primarily well established by the citizens.

Explain why the problem of smuggling rose and fell in the period 1700-1900. (12 marks)

Awarded: 12/12

One reason for the rise of smuggling at the start of the 18th century was the introduction of import duties to more products. Although import duties were first introduced in the 16th century (creating the crime of smuggling), at the start of the 18th century, more goods, such as cloth, wine and spirits, were taxed under these import duties. Consequently, there was more profit to be made from smuggling and many smuggling gangs, such as the Hawkhurst gang, began to emerge on the scene, in a change from the previous period. Thus, the introduction of import duties to more products was a reason for the rise of smuggling.

Another reason for the rise of smuggling was the rise of gangs smuggling on a larger scale. This change meant that smuggling was better organised and harder to catch. The Hawkhurst gang, for instance, who operated between 1735-49, controlled large stretches of the south coast of England, operated in an organised manner, in secluded coves after dark. This made them very hard to catch, meaning they were able to increase their activities. Thus, the rise of gangs in smuggling contributed to the rise of smuggling in the period 1700 to 1900.

One reason for the fall of smuggling was the reduction of import duties. In the 1780s, PM William Pitt lowered import duties. They were then lowered again in the 19th century. This change meant there was less benefit to smuggling as lower import duties meant there was less profit in it. As there was less profit, smuggling as a problem began to fall. Consequently, the reduction in import duties is a reason for smuggling beginning to decline towards the end of the 18th century.
