The Indus Script is the writing system developed by the Indus Valley Civilization and it is the earliest form of writing known in the Indian subcontinent. Based on the fact that only one sign is displayed on the pottery surface, these examples represent a premature stage in the development of the Indus Script.The first farmers liked living near the river because it kept the land green and fertile for growing crops. These farmers lived together in villages which grew over time into large ancient cities, like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The Indus people needed river water to drink, wash and to irrigate their fields.
In which of the following ways does source 1 differ from source 2 in terms of a ruler's legitimacy?
A. Mencius implies that the ruler needs to earn the legitimacy of his power, while Bossuet states that God anoints the ruler (maybe)
B. Bossuet states that God will withdraw legitimacy from a king who does not please his people while Mencius claims that a ruler cannot be challenged
C. Mencius states that God paves the way for a new ruler so the ruler can claim legitimacy, while Bossuet claims that there is a period of trials
D. Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind a rulers legitimacy, while Mencius states that legitimacy comes from heaven
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
I think the other answer is wrong. With Option B, Mencius never claims that a ruler cannot be challenged. With C, Mencius doesn't even mention God! With D, this is tricky. While Mencius does imply that Heaven is where the legitimacy arises, he also says that Heaven challenges candidates for the title of ruler. So, it's a close run between D and A, but in the end, A closes out because it's more specific. Also, the clearer reason that D is wrong is that it says that Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind the legitimacy of a ruler, but secular means non-religious, and all Bossuet talks about is religion, so that one is kind of stupid. The passages are pasted below for reference.
Refer to the two passages.
Source 1
"Shun rose [to the empire] from among the channeled fields. Foo Yueh was called to office from the midst of his [building] frames and [earth-] beaters; Kaou Kih from his fish and salt; Kwan E-woo from the hands of the officer in charge of him; Sun Shuh-gaou from [his hiding by] the sea-shore; and Pih-le He from the market-place.
Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any one, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; it exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty; and it confounds his undertakings. In all these ways it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.
Men constantly err, but are afterwards able to reform. They are distressed in mind, and perplexed in thought, and then they arise to vigorous endeavour. When things have been evidenced in men’s looks, and set forth in their words, then they understand them.
If a ruler have not about his court families attached to the laws and able officers, and if abroad there are no hostile States or other external calamities, the State will generally come to ruin.”
Mencius, fourth century BCE
Source 2
"It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that it is a sacrilege to attack him. God has His prophets anoint them with a sacred unction, as He has His pontiffs and His altars anointed. But, even without the external application of this unction, their charge renders them sacred, as being the representatives of the divine majesty, delegated by His providence to the execution of His designs. It is thus that God Himself speaks of Cyrus as His anointed—‘his right hand I have holden to subdue nations before him.’ The title of Christ is given to kings; and everywhere we see them called the Christ, or the anointed of the Lord.”
Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, explaining the divine right of kings, 1678

Thesis for "In what ways did the French and Indian war alter political, economic and ideological relations between Britain and its American colonies" 2 sentences
Answer:
The French and Indian War altered the relationship between Britain and its American colonies because the war enabled Britain to be more "active" in colonial political and economic affairs. This happened by imposing regulations and levying taxes unfairly on the colonies, which caused the colonists to change their ideology from toleration to resentment toward Britain.

In a paragraph of at least five sentences, explain why you agree or disagree with the following statement.
In order to truly understand an event—whether personal or historical —it is necessary to look at it from multiple perspectives.
Answer:
I agree.
Explanation:
The reason I agree is because without knowing both sides of the story you won't know the truth. And example is if someone is lying, then you ask the other person involved and some things are similar but not exact, then you know that sliver of truth rather than trusting a biased source. (that's all I could think of sorry)
What eventually happened to the colony of Roanoke? * 2 points It became very successful because they grew tobacco The Native Americans taught them how to plant crops, fish, and hunt animals It mysteriously disappeared and the colonists were never seen again The king of England recognized that Roanoke was an example of what a successful colony should be
Answer:
It mysteriously disappeared and the colonists were never seen again
Explanation:
The colony of Roanoke was occupied by the colonists around 1587 to 1590. However, it was believed to have been disappeared around the 1590s, when one of the settlers known as John White came back to found nothing on the island but just two written words "Croatoan" on a fort's gatepost and "Cro" on a tree.
The majority conclusion was that the lost colony "vanished" due to either deadly disease or violent killings by Native American nations.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "It mysteriously disappeared and the colonists were never seen again."

"how might a state lose or gain one of its electoral votes"
The electoral college votes are based on the number of senators (2 for each state) plus the number of representatives (roughly one for every 500,000 people) per state. Thus Florida has 27 Electors (2 for the senators and 25 for the c13million population).
Each state (and the District of Columbia) is guaranteed at least three Electors however small it is (2 senators and 1 representative) so Wyoming which has a population of 453,000 gets the same number of electors as say Nebrasksa with 800,000.
It would therefore pay to wrap up the small states as they would deliver more Electors per head of population, but in practice it is easier to concentrate on the biggest states such as California, New York, Texas etc as you'd get more Elector votes per campaign dollar spent.
How about a directly elected president?
Graham Ralph, Gravesend, UK
Electoral College votes are awarded (in all but 2 states) on "a winner takes all" principle. Consequently, a candidate may lose a state in a very close race and get NO electoral votes, while win overwhelmingly in another state.
Suppose there are only three states each with 10 electoral votes: State 1: 1 million for A; 900,000 for B. State 2: 1 million for A; 900,000 for B. State 3: 100,000 for A; 1,800,00 for B.
A wins with 20 electoral votes, although B has has over a million more popular votes.
