Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The Mayan pyramids and temples were made from limestone.

The Maya people managed to develop large city-states around limestone-stepped pyramids and other monumental buildings even though there were not any sort of metal tools or wheels to transport large limestone blocks. So we may say that limestone was a key element in the Mayan architecture: roads, for example, were made of rock and covered in cement mixed from heated limestone. And the walls of their pyramids were faced with adobe bricks, and covered with limestone as well.


Answer 2
Answer: The Mayan pyramids and temples were made by bricks and covered by limestone.

The two proposed plans for the Constitution agreed on A. having two houses of Congress.
B. having three branches of government.
C. having one president.
D. an elected judiciary.

Answers

B. Having three branches of government-- following Enlightenment ideas government should have checks and balances with multiple branches.

The proposed plans for the Constitutional Convention, New Jersey Plan and Virginia Plan, agreed that the new government needed to have checks and balances with branches of government. They agreed there needed to be a legislative branch to make laws, an executive branch to preside over everyday affairs, and a judicial branch to run the courts. These three branches would ensure no singular power could take over and rule as a tyrant.

With three branches of government, the government should have several branches for checks and balances in accordance with Enlightenment principles. Hence option B is correct.

The New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan, two suggested ideas for the Constitutional Convention, both agreed that the new government required checks and balances between the several branches of government.

They concurred that there should be a judicial branch to oversee the courts, an executive branch to manage daily operations, and a legislative branch to enact laws. No one power could reign as a dictator thanks to these three branches of government.

Therefore option B is correct.

They provided to the URSS the designs of nuclear weapons that only the US had achieved to develop and, from this moment on, the US stopped being the only country in the world with access to nuclear weapons.

The passing of atomic secrets to the Soviets meant that the United States would no longer be the only nation on earth with control over atomic weapons.
