Answer: This is gonna be a lot of typing lol.

Explanation:

1. The role that unfair taxation policies played in the American Revolution differed from the French Revolution in several ways. In the American colonies, the concept of "taxation without representation" was a major grievance. The colonists believed that they were being taxed by the British government without having a say in the decision-making process. This lack of representation fueled resentment and eventually led to the uprising against British rule. On the other hand, in the French Revolution, the taxation burden was primarily felt by the lower classes under the Estates system. The First and Second Estates, which consisted of the clergy and nobility, were exempt from many taxes, leaving the burden to fall disproportionately on the Third Estate. This unequal taxation system, combined with other social and economic grievances, contributed to the overthrow of the Bourbon monarchy.

2. The Congress of Vienna united countries across Europe through a series of diplomatic negotiations and agreements. One of the driving factors behind this unity was Napoleon Bonaparte's foreign policy, which sought to expand French influence and control over various European territories. This policy resulted in a backlash against France, as many countries saw Napoleon as a threat to their sovereignty and independence. The Congress of Vienna provided an opportunity for these countries to come together and establish a balance of power in Europe. Through negotiations and treaties, the participating nations aimed to maintain stability and prevent further aggression from France. By creating a unified front against Napoleon's ambitions, the Congress of Vienna played a crucial role in uniting countries across Europe.

C. by playing sports

D. by buying goods

Answers

A. By voting
The United States doesn't really have any other way for citizens to voice their opinions and participate in government except by voting. We choose who we want to lead the country by voting for senators and congressman. We don't really vote for who becomes president because that is decided by the electoral college, so that is why it is very important to vote for who we want in Congress making that decision.
A.By Voting because all the american citizens come together as one to vote for something.

Answers

Answer:

I would say that the best option from the answers given for the question: Immediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001, many people around the world, would be: B: felt shocked by the events and condemed the attacks.

Explanation:

The attacks on the Twin Towers, in New York City, on September 11, 2001, caught the entire world unawares and generated feelings of outrage and indignation. So much so, that many dedicated themselves to condemn all Muslims and dedicated themselves to their persecution, naming them all potential terrorists. However, world powers, and countries, did not openly declare war on anyone, and only a few supported the invasion of Iraq, by the U.S as a means to defeat al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.

I would say B, shocked by the events and condemned the attacks.

Therefore, the Massachusetts Bay banished the minster. Roger Williams, then in the year 1636 bought land from the Narragansett  Indians and established the colony of Rhode Island.

Roger Williams went on to establish Rhode Island

Which statement describes a key difference between the League of Nations and the United Nations? (4 points) Member nations contribute a certain amount of money to the organization. Political factions in some member nations resisted joining the organization.
The President of the United States strongly supported the organization.
Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization.

Answers

The correct answer is Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization

The League of Nations did not have the support of the United States army so they didn't have soldiers since Europe was war torn. Without anyone to enforce the laws that were made, nobody cared about adhering to those laws. The United Nations have an army at their disposal whose goal is to commit to peace missions worldwide and prevent things such as wars or similar horrors.

Answer:

Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization

How dose the structure of the "The Star-Spangled Banner" emphasize its main idea?

Answers

The Star-spangled banner, the National Anthem of the United States of America is a poem inspired by the Battle of Baltimore, fought on September 12-14, 1814 during the War of 1812.

During the British campaign against Washington, D.C., an elderly and respected physician, Dr. William Beanes was arrested for unfriendly acts toward the British soldiers which resulted in his arrest.

Francis Scott Key, a prominent lawyer and friend of Dr. Beanes was sent by President James Madison to obtain his release. Following negotiations, the British agreed to release Beanes. However, since the British were going to attack Baltimore, Maryland next, they would allow no one to go ashore.

The British landed soldiers on September 12 and engaged in a brisk land battle, however, they were not able to capture Baltimore. As part of a two pronged attack, the British now sent their naval fleet to attack and destroy the port city. The main defense of Baltimore harbor was Fort McHenry. For 25 hours the British fleet fired rockets and bombs at the fort.

The fort's defenders bravely withstood the bombardment and did not surrender. The British realized they could not take Baltimore without paying for it with heavy casualties. Since they were not willing to pay this price, they departed from Baltimore.
