Do you think that the Internet and computers are having as big an impact on society as the invention of printing? Why or why not?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A few years ago there was a series on who or what had the most influence on the depelement of mankind. I was pulling for Einstein as the program slowly made it to the top ten and then the top 5. There were lots of names to consider from 5 to 1. Newton came in 3 or 4 which is an understatement. Einstein came in at number 2, which really  surprised me. When it was all over, the Printing Press was number one.

Consider what it did. It made knowledge that much easier to spread to the lower classes. That made the upper classes very nervous because their power was seeping away. So the printing press affected politics and political organization.

It took the power away from the clergy for up until then, they held the power to tell if you belonged in Heaven or Hell. That gave religion a run for its money.

It made commerce a whole lot different, because how accounting was done changed.

You could make statements about family life, child birth, medicine, physics, chemistry that was helped by the printing press.

Have computers done the same thing? They certainly changed the face of commerce. They've changed education immensely. Most people don't write anymore. They type or even say things.

They mechanized our life (no one stands on a corner to direct traffic, for example). They've made transportation better and safer. They've made medicine less monotonous by doing the work for us.

But I'm not certain they're had the same effect as the printing press.

So my vote is for the printing press, but then I'm old.

Answers

Answer:

No, the correct answer is Patrick Henry. He was opposed a strong government and ratifying the Constitution

Explanation:

Patrick Henry is known for being a steadfast patriot opposed to a strong centralized government.

Henry has been caught stealing cattle, and is brought into town for justice. The judge is his ex-wife Gretchen, who wants to show him some sympathy, but the law clearly calls for two shots to be taken at Henry from close range. To make things a little better for Henry, Gretchen tells him she will place two bullets into a six-chambered revolver in successive order. She will spin the chamber, close it, and take one shot. If Henry is still alive, she will then either take another shot, or spin the chamber again before shooting.


Henry is a bit incredulous that his own ex-wife would carry out the punishment, and a bit sad that she was always such a rule follower. He steels himself as Gretchen loads the chambers, spins the revolver, and pulls the trigger. Whew! It was blank. Then Gretchen asks, 'Do you want me to pull the trigger again, or should I spin the chamber a second time before pulling the trigger?'


What should Henry choose?

Answers

Answer:

He choose to spin the chamber again.

Explanation:

The Henry choose to spin the chamber again because if his ex-wife spins the chamber the same way as she has done earlier, there is a chance that the chamber has no bullet and he get success in saving his life. If he choose to pull the trigger second time, there is a possibility  to have a bullet in the next chamber so henry chooses to spin the chamber again.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

There are generally four ways in which an amendment can be proposed and ratified. These are:

1. The Senate and House of Representatives propose an amendment with a 2/3 vote and 3/4 of the state legislature's approval.

2. The Senate and House of Representatives propose an amendment with a 2/3 vote, and 3/4 of the states ratify the amendment through ratifying conventions.

3. 2/3 of the state legislatures ask Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and 3/4 of the state legislatures ratify the amendment.

4. 2/3 of the state legislatures ask Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and 3/4 of the states approve the amendment through ratifying conventions.

The amendment process reflects the idea of democracy through the election, whereby the decision is taken from the majority votes.

Which best describes Henry Clay?
a Massachusetts senator who was antislavery but supported compromise
a two-time vice president who supported slavery and states’ rights
a great orator who was nicknamed “the Great Compromiser”
a president who declared nullification was a form of treason

Answers

C great orator who was nicknamed the Great compromiser

A great orator who was nicknamed “the Great Compromiser” best describes Henry Clay. Therefore option C is correct.

Who was Henery Clay?

While serving as the Speaker of the House from 1811 to 1814 and a U.S. Representative, Henery Clay rose to prominence as the head of a group of anti-British Congressmen known as the War Hawks. Later, Clay served as Speaker of the House from 1815 to 1820 and from 1823 to 1825. He also served as a U.S. Representative from 1815 to 1821 and from 1823 to 1825.


The choice of Clay to be Secretary of State sparked debate. In the election of 1824, his campaign for the presidency failed because no contender received a clear majority. Clay disregarded the directives of the Kentucky legislature by endorsing John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson. The House of Representatives subsequently chose Adams to serve as president.

Hence, A great orator who was nicknamed “the Great Compromiser” best describes Henry Clay.
