Answer: Presidential elections in Iran raise a puzzling contradiction: How can the government include both an unelected supreme leader and a president who is chosen in votes that are treated as serious contests?
Put another way, is Iran a democracy or a dictatorship?
Citizens elect the president, as they will on Friday, as well as members of a legislature. But they are overseen by institutions staffed by clerics. One, known as the Guardian Council, approves all candidates for office, narrowing the scope of elections. Still other unelected bodies, like the Revolutionary Guards, wield tremendous power.
The supreme leader, who holds the position for life, is the most important figure, overseeing everything.
The system began with a series of hurried political compromises amid the country’s 1979 revolution. The end result was an Islamic republic, meant to combine democratic involvement with theocratic oversight. In practice, the two often clash, with unelected, unaccountable officials holding the most power.
The result has been 38 years of weak democracy but strong politics. Political factions, each with a base of support, compete through elections, and for influence among powerful bureaucracies.
Over the years, although the government has remained broadly authoritarian, it has oscillated among degrees of democracy. Those fluctuations, while subtle, have often coincided with elections like the one this week.

Which ancient empire left the greatest legacy? Why?
Answer:
The Ancient greek empire left the greatest legacy because it lasted over 2000 years and still affects the greek culture now.
Explanation:
Write a letter to a friend as if you were a colonial woman whose husband was fighting in the revoulution , tell about some hardships you would face and extra work you have to do each day
Dear friend.
It is with regret that I write this letter to you since it is impossible to keep the spirits and happiness in such an uncertain environment to which we live now, since the revolt started. I fear that the revolt has bad results and I fear for the lives of men who are being risked at that moment, but I understand the cause and the reasons that led them to do so.
My husband joined the army about three months ago and in spite of the anguish and the fear that he will come back multilateral, or not at all, I feel overwhelmed with the activities that I am now obliged to take responsibility for. I need to take care of domestic affairs, but I also need to take responsibility for the plantations alone. I am used to hard work, but I miss having someone to share the tasks that seem to be much bigger than me.
This stressful moment has left me very discouraged and that is why I am writing this letter, as I would like to talk to someone and I believe that I can find in you good ears for my complaints.
I hope that everything ends well and that this dark moment is removed from our lives, with the victory on our side.
Hope to see you soon.
graciously
Mary Smith.

Explanation:
The president has nominated a new federal judge, but the Senate has not yet approved the appointment. It seems unlikely that the Senate will vote to confirm the new judge. When the Senate goes on a holiday break, the president appoints the judge without the Senate's approval.
Answer: President should not be able to take such action
Explanation:
The United States Constitution provides for the Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances amongst the three branches of the Federal Government so that one branch will not have unchecked power. One instance of this is the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice.
For a person to be appointed as a Supreme Court Justice, the president needs to nominate them for the role. Once they are nominated they are then vetted by the Senate to ensure that they are a good fit for this very important role. The Senate will then vote on the appointment and the person can become a Supreme Court Justice by a majority of votes.
It is therefore not possible that the president can appoint the Judge in this question as a Supreme Court Justice without the approval of the Senate. This breaches the Separation of Powers principle and so will not stand.
Why did Europeans put so much value on the work of Ancient Greece? Group of answer choices The Catholic Church supported the ideas of Ancient Greece and therefore taught their theories to the people of Europe. Ancient Greece was the only civilization to make technological advancements that changed the world. The Ancient Greeks theory of geocentrism had been proven correct. The Age of Exploration taught Europeans that all life had originated in Ancient Greece.
Answer:
The Catholic Church supported the ideas of Ancient Greece and therefore taught their theories to the people of Europe.
Explanation:
Ancient Greece was a center for the creation of philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine and literature. This was of great importance for the modern world and especially for Europe, where the concepts created by ancient Greece have spread out efficiently. However, this diffusion of Greek concepts and sciences was carried out mainly by the support of the Catholic Church, which dominated the whole of Europe and disseminated these concepts throughout the continent.
