Answer:

Thucydides attitude towards the Peloponnesian War seems pretty clear: it caused a lot of suffering and hardship for people on both sides of the fight.

As for his attitude toward Athens, this is a bit more difficult to pin down because Thucydides' fellow Athenians had exiled him from his native land for 20 years because he had failed to bring reinforcements quickly enough to the Athenian forces at Amphipolis in 423 BCE. Thus, it is difficult to imagine that Thucydides would have had any great love for the people who exiled him for 20 years.

It was also my fate to be an exile from my country for twenty years after my command at Amphipolis; and being present with both parties, and more especially with the Peloponnesians by reason of my exile, I had leisure to observe affairs somewhat particularly. I will accordingly now relate the differences that arose after the ten years' war, the breach of the treaty, and the hostilities that followed.

dexar [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Were either of these plans chosen by the delegation or was there a compromise to appease both sides?

No, these plans were not chosen at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787. James Madison, a delegate from Virginia at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, recognized that one of the greatest flaws in the Articles of Confederation was its lack of a strong centralized government. In response to this flaw, Madison developed the “Virginia Plan.” However, no all the delegates agreed. That is when the Virginia Plan was countered by the New Jersey delegation, proposing the “New Jersey Plan.” The delegates had many discussions and debates to agree on the new form of government for the United States. Federalists supported a strong central government. Antifederalists supported a simpler government that promoted civil rights and liberties. That is when James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution.

Here are the correct answers

1) Many other nations took advantage of the absence of a strong central government- This was due to the fact that there was no strong leadership existed in the form of a president. When making this constitution, Americans feared that a president would be too much like a King.

2)There was no authority to make the states comply with Congressional laws-No provisions were made for a national court.

3) Congress had to borrow founds from foreign governments-Congress was not allowed to raise money through taxes. This lack of ability to tax was caused by American citizens anger towards taxation without representation, something they encountered while under the control of Great Britain.

2. Which historical development illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrops

likoan [24]

Answer:

The historical development which illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrop's argument is:

(A) Polk negotiated a compromise with the British over Oregon.

Explanation:

Between 1859 and 1872, Great Britain and the US fought a bitter war for the control of Oregon. This war was caused by a stray pig; no wonder, the US termed it: "the Pig War." Earlier John Winthrop had argued that the United States, the New England, was to become "a city on a hill," very conspicuous to all men. Possession of the new land signaled an alliance with the word of God. Failure to uphold the human part of the covenant would expose the country to ridicule. President Polk, fighting the Pig War with Great Britain over Oregon without victory, was a sign of failure to uphold the covenant. The country was exposed to public ridicule because the war only ended with the signing of a treaty (a form of compromise), which ceded the whole of Vancouver to Britain and then Oregon to the US.
