How can citizens hold the government responsible for its actions? Or can citizens hold the government responsible?
Answer:
Citizens can hold their government responsible for the actions they made, but that doesn't mean anything will happen to the government.
[The Alturas Institute’s emphasis on civic education derives, in part, from the fact that too few Americans adequately understand the Constitution and the roles and responsibilities of citizenship. The role of the citizenry, by any measure, includes at a minimum the acquisition of knowledge about the nature and functions of government, engagement in public discourse, and the duty to hold government accountable to the rule of law and the American people. This essay, excerpted from its original publication in the Idaho Humanities Council Newsletter (2012), suggests several ways in which citizens might pursue governmental accountability].

Why was Egypt considered isolated and what was the benefit of its isolation
Answer:
Egypt was considered isolated because the civilization was only centered along the Nile, and had geographical features that cut it off from the rest of the world.
Explanation:
To the north, the Mediterranean Sea allowed communication with Anatolia and Greece, but only by sea, not by land.
To the west, the Sahara desert was a buffer with several nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. To the East, the Sinai desert and peninsula made communications harder with Palestine, and Mesopotamia, and to the South, the Desert of Sudan made communications hard with Nubia and Ethiopia.
The benefit was a lower probability of conflict or invasion from other tribes, but it also had a drawback and was lesser trade and integration.

Why did King Philip's War occur, and what were the consequences of the conflict on the Native Americans?
king Philip’s War — also known as the First Indian War, the Great Narragansett War or Metacom’s Rebellion — took place in southern New England from 1675 to 1676. It was the Native Americans' last-ditch effort to avoid recognizing English authority and stop English settlement on their native lands. The war is named after the Wampanoag chief Metacom, later known as Philip or King Philip, who led the fourteen-month bloody rebellion.
New England Confederation
After the Pequot War (1636-1637), the New England colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut and New Haven realized the need to form a military alliance to defend against their common enemies. After much debate, they formed the New England Confederation on May 19, 1643.
Over the subsequent years, the New England Confederation fought the Wampanoag, Nipmuck, Pocumtuck and Narragansett Indians during King Philip’s War. The Mohegan and Mohawk tribes, however, fought for the English.
King Philip’s Rise
Metacom was the second son of Wampanoag chief Massasoit, who had negotiated a peace treaty with the colonists at Plymouth Plantation. But the agreement wasn’t enough to stop the colonist’s encroachment on Indian lands.
After Massasoit's death in 1661, his eldest son Wamsutta, later named Alexander, succeeded him. In 1662, the English arrested Alexander on suspicion of plotting war. During questioning, he died, and Metacom — now known as Philip, as many Wampanoags took English names — came to power.
Betrayal Incites War
In January 1675, Christian Indian John Sassamon warned Plymouth Colony that Philip planned to attack English settlements. The English ignored the warning and soon found Sassamon’s murdered body in an icy pond.
A jury made up of colonists and Indians found three Wampanoag men guilty for Sassamon’s murder and hanged them on June 8, 1675. Their execution incensed Philip, whom the English had accused of plotting Sassamon’s murder, and ignited tensions between the Wampanoag and the colonists, setting the stage for war.
Swansea Raid
Between June 20 and June 23, 1675, the Wampanoag carried out a series of raids against the Swansea colony of Massachusetts, killing many colonists and pillaging and destroying property. English officials responded by sending their military to destroy Philip’s home village of Mount Hope, Rhode Island.

What was a negative consequence of the settlement of the Middle Colonies? Many ancient forests in the region were cut down. Farmers dug deep wells to tap into sources of groundwater. Sharpshooters killed large numbers of buffalo, disturbing the food chain. The burning of fuels led to extreme climate change.
Answer:
Option: Many ancient forests in the region were cut down.
Explanation:
The settlers of the Middle Colonies cut many forests in the region. The region had rich soil which allowed farmers to raise livestock and grew crops. The region's strong economy attracted people from Europe which led to a diverse population.
Most farming families clear the land of trees and other plants for settlement and farming. Timbers used to build houses, fences, and barns by cutting it in square and flat planks.

Location 3
Location 2
Location 4

Answer:
Location present on the equator.
Explanation:
That location will observe drastic seasonal temperature variation between summer and winter months which is present on the equator because in summer the climate is very hot due to direct sunlight while on the other hand in winter the temperature is low due to tilting of the earth due to which direct sunlight did not occur. So the location on the equator or near the equator experience drastic seasonal temperature variation.

B.The activities of Sufi missionaries

The activities of Sufi missionaries were evident in the continued spread of Islam across Afro-Eurasia in the period 1200-1450 as Sufis get to have new converts in areas including Anatolia, Central Asia, India, and Southeast Asia in general.
Following the disintegration of the Abbasid Caliphate, the Sufi missionaries took it upon themselves to spread the religion of Islam, by preaching Islam as the religion of peace. These Islamic missionaries are often referred to as Dakwah and it is a means of converting non-Muslims to Islam in a non-violent way.

Explain how FEMA's role changed after it became part of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 and again after the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Answer:
FEMA's role changed after the terrorist attacks in 2001 President W. Bush signed the Homeland Security Act, creating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
After the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005: Community perspective, Cell phones and the web usage during emergencies, Going beyond rebuilding and Early Movers.
Explanation:
After the terrorist attacks in 2001 President W. Bush signed the Homeland Security Act, creating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The department was created on March 1, 2003 and integrated FEMA and 21 other organizations. The result was that there was better coordination and communication throughout the following different federal agencies: disaster response and preparedness, law enforcement, International border protection and civil defense. FEMA wasted no time carving out a name for itself; The result of FEMA’s hard work and importance was the “Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006.” FEMA was no longer characterized as the department’s Directorate of Emergency Preparedness and Response. FEMA’s top official to become the principal advisor to the President, the Homeland Security Council, and the Secretary of Homeland Security on all emergency management-related matters in the United States. The agency became a stand-alone element within DHS, no longer characterized as the department’s Directorate of Emergency Preparedness and Response.
Things that have changed in FEMA after hurricane Katrina in 2005:
Leadership: Presidents learned the importance of placing experienced emergency managers in charge of FEMA. Presidents now appoint FEMA directors with emergency management experience.
Community perspective: The “whole community” approach, intended to involve the private sector, community groups and individual citizens in disaster preparedness. The whole community approach was intended to harness the assets of civil society, draw attention to disaster resilience and improve coordination.
Cell phones and the web usage during emergencies: Social media made possible collaborative responses that helped people find out which shelters were open and who needed help during the storm through texts and tweets. Social media also drives the government’s response because the government responds to what’s on the news. For example, pictures of the dangerous conditions at Hospitals.
Going beyond rebuilding: Resilience, is the idea that communities can do more than just rebuild and also resilience replaces sustainability as the organizing concept in disaster management. They can invest in levees, canals, wetlands and insurance to adapt to a changing normal.
Early Movers: Congress gave FEMA greater authority to move resources to a disaster zone before a storm rather than wait for formal requests from governors after the event.
