Why federal government more expensive than unitary government ​

Answers

It isn’t. (well, it isn’t supposed to be)

But then again, in the US we no longer have a Federal Government, but a pseudo Federal Government, that acts like, and is treated like, a unitarian government.

Over the last 80 to 100 years, and especially in the last 50, the separation between State and Federal duties, has all but been eliminated by Progressive ideology.

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.Federalist No 45

Because of the corruption of the Commerce Clause in Wickard v Filburn, and the General Welfare Clause, in Helvering v Davis, the Federal Government is now involved in the objects, that were supposed to be left to the States, and this has caused its budget to balloon out of control.

What do you think happened to the power of the Catholic Church during rise of absolute monarchies

Answers

Answer:

The power of Catholic church increased with it.

Explanation:

In Absolute monarchy, All of the power to make political decisions made is held by the King. The King can freely execute those who dare to refuse this law even without fair shot at a trial.

During the rise of absolute Monarchies, many empires adopted Christianity as the national religion.  Which means that many of the citizens were forced to be converted even if they did not necessarily believed in it.

Answers

Answer:

Assimilation was one ideological basis of French colonial policy in the 19th and the 20th centuries. Unlike in the British Empire, the French Colonial Empire taught its subjects that by adopting French language and culture, they could eventually become French.

The policy of assimilation was the official colonial policy of the French administration in West Africa. The system involved the imposition of French culture on the West African culture. It was meant to substitute the culture, language, religion, law, mode of dressing, etc.

The definition of assimilation is to become like others, or help another person to adapt to a new environment. An example of assimilation is the change of dress and behaviors an immigrant may go through when living in a new country. Assimilation is defined as to learn and comprehend.

Answer: Basically assimilation means changing beliefs, behaviors, culture, language etc. to adapt to a new environment. France does this through secularism which means separation of religion from the state, religion has no place in ethics of the state and in no civil affairs. France also expects it's citizens to identify with this, thus assimilating them at least in front of the state. HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK :)))

Which of the following systems of government was first developed in Athens?

Answers

Democracy was developed in athens

Answer:Democracy

Explanation:

In Country D, business owners make most economic decisions. As long as they abide by fair trade policies, they can decide what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce without government intervention. These decisions are made by business owners based on what happens in the market. For example, a computer manufacturer recently developed a new video gaming system, but decided to wait until closer to the holidays to release the system to the public because it believed anticipation among consumers would allow the company to charge a higher price for the system. What is their economy?

Answers

Answer: Market Economy

Explanation:

The Market Economy is one where business owners have significant power over Economic decisions. They get to decide what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce without government intervention.

Government only intervenes to ensure that no fair trade practices are being broken.

This economic system gives more opportunities for wealth to be accrued and allows people to express their independence and personal choice by going into businesses and jobs that they actually want.

what is the resolution of the book "The Heir"

Answers

Answer:

There is no resolution. She doesn't want a husband, and her mom has a heart attack.

Answer:

The book ends with Eadyln, (main character) find out that her brother Ahren had ran away and gotton married to his girlfriend as soon as her mother agreed without anyone knowing.

Explanation:

He leaves a letter for her and why he left. He loved her sister very much, but eventually he chose his soulmate. He explains to Eadyln and compares the two girls.

Thus, Ahren advises her to open herself to her people, to be brave and feminine at the same time and above all to find love in her life.

Eadlyn is angry and hurt by his words and his departure, but when she goes to her parents’ room to inform them about the letter, she finds photos of them during their own Selection, their wedding and the birth of their children. Eadlyn recognizes that her father had modeled this room as a shrine of his love for her mother. Fully realizing now the love her parents share, she can understand why Ahren chose his girlfriend over his family.

At that moment though, she learns that her mother has had a heart attack, after hearing about Ahren’s elopement. She runs to the hospital wing, where she finds her father crying and General Leger comforting him, both of them hoping for the best. Marlee, Kaden, May and the Selected Men also come to pray for America’s recovery. Afraid of losing her mother and after seeing all those people around her and the bonds they share with each other, Eadlyn finally realizes the importance of love in her life. She decides that she wants to find in the Selection someone who will love her, stating that at the end of the Selection, she "will have a ring on her finger."

Which principle of government is reflected by the statement above?
a federalism

b republicanism

c separation of powers

d limited government

Answers

Answer:

b. republicanism

Explanation:

Republican form of government usually considered as the most efficient method to run a country with large population (such as united states). In this principle of government,  the people can't directly make the legislations that is passed by the government. But in exchange, they can select representatives that will fight within the government body on their behalf.

American concept of Republicanism was first introduced by the founding fathers after getting our independence from the Britain.

They found that the Monarchy system (which is the most popular at that time), gave the people with no influence within the government. They have to always trust their fate to the leaders of government even when they're doing a bad job.

Republicanism help addressed this issue. By giving the people with the power to vote for representatives, people can voted out the government leaders who disappointed them during their period in the office.
