Why is Article #11 in the Articles of Confederation not as important as the other articles?

Answers

Answer 1

Establishing both the means by which a new state could enter the "union" on equal footing, and an attempt for military security, Article 11 specifically targets one issue in a way that no other article does.  Annexing Canada and formally absorbing it into the folds of the United States would have increased the power of the U.S. tremendously. The inclusion of Canada in the union would significantly increase the U.S. resources of land, people, types of industry, and available ports. It would increase the tax base of Congress as well as contribute its valuable resources to the overall economic good of the U.S. Furthermore, the annexation of Canada would help to significantly eliminate the biggest threat to American Independence: the presence of Great Britain on the North American continent.  If Canada had overthrown British rule in the 1780s and joined the United States as a sovereign state, the British would have had no further holdings of land in North America. However, after the war, the British continued to violate the Treaty of Paris by maintaining forts in the western territory of the United States. The British controlled the Great Lakes, which bordered the U.S. and Canada and the St. Lawrence River, thereby giving them powerful control over trade in the interior of North America. The United States aimed to eliminate the presence of as many of its competitors as possible. Unfortunately, Canada had no interest in joining the United States and remained a British colony. The British presence north and west of the United States continued to be a problem, and eventually led to the War of 1812.

What this Article did accomplish, however, was to establish the precedent by which new states would be absorbed into the union. With this precedent, rather than representing a governing body with fixed limits, the United States would be able to expand and absorb sovereign states on an equal basis, instead of as colonies. This idea was later put into practice in Thomas Jefferson's Land Ordinance of 1784, which provided new states with the same right to self-governance and representation in congress as those enjoyed by older states.

In what ways does our society today showcase fundamentalism?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Fundamentalism is still present in various ways the religious teachings are adopted around the world. Not only can we notice the rise of extremism in Muslim ideas (even though Islam itself presents the religion of peace), many Christian and Jewish people are adopting more and more strict religious learnings. We see the Orthodox Jewish ideas, as well as Christian countries that are still non-secular.

Ireland, for example, still had church tied to politics and has only recently started to tackle the problems of the history of the Catholic church and its abuses of power, as well as laws on LGBT issues and abortion. These days there is a burning question of abortion in Poland, a deeply religious and Catholic country, where the government tries to enforce Catholic ideas in the law.

The US has plenty of similar examples of small scale. Many of the communities are deeply religious, but in a sense, they do not accept any ideas that contradict the Bible. There is always an ongoing discussion about health and science in schools, and which theories and pieces of knowledge should be presented. In the presidential race, we can also see that religion, Christianity, and God are taken into the account, and used as a way of conveying certain ideas. We can spot this despite the US as a country does not have one official religion, and its politics should not be tied to its teaching.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Your firm sells for cash only, but it is thinking of offering credit, allowing customers 90 days to pay. Customers understand the time value of money, so they would all wait and pay on the 90th day. To carry these receivables, you would have to borrow funds from your bank at a nominal 10%, daily compounding based on a 360-day year. You want to increase your base prices by exactly enough to offset your bank interest cost. To the closest whole percentage point, by how much should you raise your product prices? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer: 3% to the closest whole percentage point.

Explanation:

The bank interest cost is 10% based on 360 days.

Your firm needs funds for 90 days till the receivables comes in.

The relevant rate will be what the bank charges for 90 days;

= 10% * (90/360)

= 2.5%

= 3% to the closest whole percentage point.

Answer:

ABSTRACT:

The slave trade within the Americas, after the initial disembarkation of African captives in the New World, has received scant attention from historians, especially before the abolition of the transatlantic traffic. Intra-Imperial Slave Trades

Intercolonial slave trading across the Americas varied with local circumstances - the size and vibrancy of economies, trade and taxation policies, and geography.

If the motives for market-scale transshipments within an empire were mostly economic, the motives for transshipment across imperial boundaries were much more complex.

What is an American colonist?

In the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans immigrated to North America in search of religious freedom, economic opportunity, and political freedom. They founded 13 colonies along the East Coast of the continent.

A vast continent, Colonial America, was settled by immigrants from Spain, the Netherlands, France, and England. The colonies they established include Roanoke in present-day North Carolina, Jamestown in Virgi, and St. Augustine in Florida.

The population of America doubled every generation. Africans made up the second-largest group of colonial residents in the 17th century, behind persons of English ancestry.

Thus, option C is correct.

Why did the coahuiltecan live in leantus

Answers

Answer: The Coahuiltecan were various small, autonomous bands of Native Americans who inhabited the Rio Grande valley in what is now southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. The various Coahuiltecan groups were hunter-gatherers. First encountered by Europeans in the sixteenth century, their population declined due to imported European diseases, slavery, and numerous small-scale wars fought against the Spanish, criollo, Apache, and other Coahuiltecan groups. The survivors were absorbed into the Hispanic and mestizo population of southern Texas or northern Mexico.

In 1886, ethnologist Albert Gatschet found the last known survivors of Coahuiltecan bands: 25 Comecrudo, 1 Cotoname, and 2 Pakawa. They were living near Reynosa, Mexico.[1]
