Together, the Big Five make up what percentage of the $3.8 trillion 2012 federal budget?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

82%

Explanation:

The big five such as Defense, Medicaid, and Interest on Debt, Social Security, and Medicare are the five largest parts of the federal budget. The costs of these five federal budget areas can increase from time to time, but the increased would not be equally seen as expected by analysts.

Which is something new that the government took responsibility for? This is during President Johnson's era (Great Society) Please help :) Thanks.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide options or a more specific reference, we can say that something new that the government took responsibility for during President Lyndon B. Jhonson's era was the combat to poverty in the United States and the help on medical assistance. That is why, two important components of his "Great Society" deal, was the creation of Medicare and Medicaid. that became law when Democrats approved those pieces of legislation in Congress (1964).

President Johnson also wanted to fight poverty in America, reduce criminality index, improve the environmental conditions in the country, and diminish the inequality in American society. Those goals were included in the Great Society.

Which best describes a major challenge faced by Soviet President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s?

expanding the military
gaining support from the West
complying with the SALT treaties
transitioning to a free-market economy

Answers

Answer:

transitioning to a free-market economy

Explaination

The Soviet economy was faltering and dissidents and internal and external critics were calling for an end to political repression and government secrecy.

Answer:

transitioning to a free-market economy

Explanation:

With the Soviet Union out of the way, Yeltsin eliminated most price controls, privatized a slew of major state assets, allowed for the ownership of private property and otherwise embraced free market principles. Under his watch, a stock exchange, commodities exchanges and private banks all came into being. But although a select few oligarchs became shockingly wealthy, many Russians lapsed deeper into poverty due to rampant inflation and the rising cost of living. Yeltsin’s Russia also struggled with the taint of being an ex-superpower and with corruption, lawlessness, decreased industrial output and falling life expectancies. Moreover, Yeltsin began treating himself to some of the perks, such as chauffeured limousines, that he had previously criticized.

As president, Yeltsin broke from his Soviet predecessors by generally supporting freedom of the press, permitting public criticism and letting Western popular culture seep into the country. He also agreed to nuclear arms reductions and brought home soldiers from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics. Nonetheless, he did not completely disavow military action. After surviving impeachment proceedings, Yeltsin disbanded the communist-dominated parliament in September 1993 and called for elections to a new legislature. He then resolved the ensuing standoff by ordering tanks to shell the parliamentary building. The following year Yeltsin sent troops into the breakaway republic of Chechnya, an action that left roughly 80,000 people dead—the majority of them civilians. Though the fighting ceased in August 1996, it picked back up again in 1999 and lasted most of the next decade.

Health problems, some of them caused by heavy drinking, eventually began to take their toll on Yeltsin. In 1995 alone he had at least three heart attacks. Yet he decided to run for president anyway in 1996, winning a second term and then undergoing quintuple bypass surgery. Near the end of his time in office, he survived another round of impeachment proceedings and went through a string of prime ministers. In August 1998 the ruble collapsed and Russia defaulted on its treasury bills. Soon after, the economy finally turned around with the help of rising oil prices.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The government should regulate businesses.

Regulation helps consumers.

Monopolies succeed because they have an unfair advantage.

Explanation: The Progressive Movement took place between the 1880s and the 1920s with the aim of eliminating negative consequences of the industrialization process in the US. Both political organisms and monopolies were targeted. The latter ones prevented competition and were harmful for consumers who were forced to buy worse quality products at higher prices. This is the origin of antitrust regulations and of the interference of public powers in the regulation of private businesses.

D. There were too many people and not enough jobs.

Answers

My guess about the economic Great Depression is B !

There was less money available to assist trade since the U.S. government was removing money from circulation to achieve this purpose. Hence option C is Correct .

What was the Economic Depression ?

The US government passed the Coinage Act of 1873 in April of that year, during a period of declining silver prices that were made worse by the cessation of the German Empire's thaler coin output. This effectively forced the United States to abandon its bimetallic standard and adopt a pure gold standard for the first time.

The United States' strict monetary policy to return to the gold standard after the Civil War was the main contributor to the price depression in that country.

This law, which its opponents referred to as "the Crime of 1873" and was the subject of William Jennings Bryan'sThe 1896 Cross of Gold speech compelled the United States to reduce its money supply.

Even as new silver mines were being created in Nevada, it further depressed silver prices. This encouraged mining investment but also boosted supply at a time when demand was declining.

write down 3 ways Black Americans were treated differently ​

Answers

Answer:

Black Americans didn't have many rights back in the day and mostly were slaves for the White citizens.

Black Americans were segregated from white people and weren't treated fairly. An example of this is when Rosa Parks sat in the bus on a seat that was 'reserved' for a white person.

Black Americans in the southern states suffered more discrimination than those in the north. This was because of the Jim Crow laws in the south. The Jim Crow laws legalised segregation and helped to keep black Americans in inferior positions in society, politics and the economy.

Some of these laws were -

Black Americans could not serve on juries, voting was made difficult for black Americans - and in order to vote they would have to pay a poll tax, pass a literacy test...,

Schools for black Americans were deliberately kept inferior- the textbooks were old and less money was spent on their privileges. This happened because the white people wanted the Black Americans to remain uneducated. Many Black citizens didn't have a proper education and if they did. they had very little and the environment where they studied was less in comparison to the white children. Meaning white children had the privileges of having bigger textbooks and bigger, more spacious classrooms, making it rare for Black Americans to study well and have a good education.

Answers

Answer:

1. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered Veracruz

2. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztecs

3. Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish

4. Cortes and his men brought smallpox to Tenochtitlan

Explanation:

Cortes first arrived in the south of Mexico and had a brief encounter with the Maya.  From there he continued up the coast until he reached Veracruz where he founded the first Spanish settlement.  It was here that Cortes learned of the powerful Aztecs and about the many enemies they had among the prehispanic groups that had been conquered by them.  Cortes had very few men with him so he knew he could not defeat the powerful Aztec empire alone.  He decides to make alliances with the Tlaxcaltecans and begins his march towards Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.  When the Spanish finally arrive, Moctezuma welcomes them (though it's not true that he thought Cortes was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, that is an incorrect interpretation).  Meanwhile, a new fleet of Spanish ships arrived in Veracruz and made their way to Tenochtitlan.  One of the men in this group was sick and began the massive smallpox epidemic that wiped out around half of the indigenous population.

Answers

Answer:

1. Edad Oscura - 1100 - 800 A.C

Esta etapa esta marcada por la escasez de hallazgos arqueológicos, de ahí su nombre. También corresponde a la era cronológica en la cual tienen lugar las obras de Homero, que son semi-mitológicas.

2. Periodo Arcaico - 800 - 450 A.C

En esta etapa, la población de la Antigua Grecia crece de forma dramática, y se forman las primeras ciudades estados, o polis, como Esparta o Atenas. El final de la etapa está marcado por la segunda invasión Persa a Grecia.

3. Periodo Clásico - 450 - 323 A.C

Esta etapa está marcada por un gran desarrollo en las artes, ciencias, y política griegas. Los desarrollos culturales del período clásico influirían profundamente en Roma, y por ende, en toda la cultura occidental. Su final está marcado por la muerte de Alejandro Magno.

4. Periodo Helenístico - 323 - 31 A.C

Durante esta etapa, la influencia cultural griega llega a su máximo, ya que la cultura griega (o "helénica", de ahí el nombre) se expande por todas las regiones que habían sido conquistadas previamente por Alejandro Magno. Su final está marcado por la conquista del Egipto Ptolemaico, y el posterior nacimiento del Imperio Romano.
