Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Great Britain and France were comparable in 1700; both had established commerce, trade and a handicraft industry. However, by 1900 there were noticeable differences between these two nations due to the nature in which each of them advanced in the process of the Industrial Revolution that is the name given to the transition to new manufacturing processes begun in Great Britain in 1760 to1840.

In such transition from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing, iron production processes as well as the increasing use of steam power, which characterized Industrial Revolution, France was different from Great Britain.

First, unlike in France in Great Britain aristocrats and landowners supported the pursuit of increasing in agricultural productivity, reason why Great Britain had a number of major technological innovations than France such as the improved land draining techniques. As a consequence of the described before productivity was one third higher in England than France.

Second, coal had become the most in demand fuel not only in Britain but also in France, however in the latter coal resources were discovered in inconvenient locations far from cities or waterways which caused that transport costs for coal were quite higher in France that in Great Britain.

In addition, the railway developed in Britain by 1830, connecting Manchester and Liverpool, providing fastest distribution of goods with 10,500km of railway line open while France only had 3,000km open.

Finally, either in Britain or in France during the 18th and 19th centuries, there was a dramatic increase in population size, whose benefit were related to an increase in the supply of labor However, population growth was much larger and faster in Britain

In conclusion, when it came to advancing the Industrial Revolution, despite France was an industrial power, Britain was leading industrial nation.

What does it mean that the council of 500 was chosen "by lot"?Was it good idea Athen government

Answers

When we hear that the Council of 500 was chosen "by lot," what this means is that the council was chosen at random. All the candidates would put their names together and it was luck that decided who was going to be in the council. This was probably not a very good idea for the Athenian goverment, as it was likely that the people elected to the council were uneducated or uninterested in government.

"By lot" means that Athens citizens (white males over the age of fifteen) put their name on a stick of wax and put it a container and someones drew out some of the sticks, or drew "lots." And sorry for the short answer.
