Answer:
On the afternoon of April 30, 1789, George Washington stepped out onto the balcony of Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan to take the oath as the first President of the United States. When Samuel Otis, the Secretary of the Senate, held out a Bible before Washington, he placed his right hand upon it.
Robert Livingston, the Chancellor of New York, using the words prescribed in Article II of the Constitution, asked Washington if he would solemnly swear to execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Washington answered that he would, reciting the oath back to the chancellor.1
Washington was well aware that he had been given the power to shape the American presidency. "I walk on untrodden ground," was a frequent comment he made in the days leading up to his first inauguration.2 He clearly understood that he needed to bring the executive branch to life in the republic he helped to found with no historic models to follow. Washington believed that the precedents he set must make the presidency powerful enough to function effectively in the national government, but at the same time these practices could not show any tendency toward monarchy or dictatorship.
Washington made the office of the presidency powerful by appointing a cabinet and proposing major legislation to Congress. But at the same time he defined practices that emphasized the republican character of the position. When politicians suggested titles for the nation's chief executive ranging from "His Excellency" to "His Highness, the Protector of Our Liberties," Washington recommended the more democratic "Mr. President."3 He presented the annual State of the Union report, required by the Constitution, as a speech given directly to the Congress. Thomas Jefferson would break this precedent in the nineteenth century, however it was restored by Woodrow Wilson in the twentieth.
Washington also set precedents for the social life of the president. Troubled by how the presidents of the Confederation Congress had been overwhelmed by visitors, Washington spent his days doing the business of government and set aside the late afternoon for meetings with the public and evenings for dinner parties with invited guests. These practices are still followed by White House protocol.
Well-known for his love of Mount Vernon, Washington made it acceptable for presidents to retreat from the pressures of the job to their own homes while in office. Finally, in part because of his wish to return to his estate on the Potomac, but likewise to escape the relentless attacks of the opposition press, he retired after serving eight years and so set the precedent that presidents should only serve for two terms. While President Franklin D. Roosevelt broke this precedent by winning a third and fourth term, the precedent became law when Amendment XXII of the Constitution was ratified in 1951.

Explanation:
Before the states adopted the Constitution, the powers of the central government were described in the Articles of Confederation.
The Articles of Confederation were written quickly and accepted by the states in the middle of the Revolutionary War. The committee that wrote the Articles created a central government that could organize the war. However, the committee did not trust an overly powerful government, so they did not give the government the power to enforce or make people follow, the law. Overall, they gave the central government very few powers.
Under the Articles of Confederation, which of the following powers did the central government have?
A.forcing states to contribute money through taxes
B.negotiating treaties with other countries
C. enforcing law
D.enforcing states to provide troops

What type of transportation dominated Texas in 1860?
What type of transportation could be found in Indianola, Galveston, and Harrisburg?
What type of transportation linked Houston to Richmond and Galveston?Which Texas cities were important transportation hubs on the map are major cities today?
How do you think access to transportation helped Houston to grow into the metropolis it is today?
HELP ME!!!
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Indianola, Galveston, and Harrisburg were ports along the Gulf Coast of Texas, and likely had access to various modes of transportation including ships, trains, and wagons for transporting goods and people
In the late 19th century, a rail line was built connecting Houston to Richmond and Galveston, providing improved access to transportation for people and goods in the region
Houston, Galveston, and Indianola were important transportation hubs in their time and remain major cities today. Access to transportation has been a key factor in Houston's growth as a metropolis. The city's location near the Gulf of Mexico and its network of rail and road connections have facilitated the movement of goods and people into and out of Houston, supporting its growth as a commercial and industrial center. The construction of the Houston Ship Channel in 1914, which made the Port of Houston one of the busiest ports in the country, further fueled Houston's growth.

"To make sure they would have eternal life, pharaohs built fabulous tombs for themselves."
Which part of this is a fact?
Which part of this statement is an opinion?
Answer:
The first part of this sentence is a fact, the second part is an opinion.

BRAINLIEST FOR THE CORRECCT ANSWERS!!!!!! How does the rule of law affect society? Check all that apply.
A. It influences people’s behaviors and attitudes.
B. It always prevents lawmakers from abusing power.
C. It ensures the separation of powers.
D. It governs how policies are created.
E. It ensures that the law applies to lawmakers.
The correct options are:
A. It influences people’s behaviors and attitudes.
C. It ensures the separation of powers.
E. It ensures that the law applies to lawmakers.
Explanation:
The rule of law refers to the idea that everyone is equal under the law and that no one is above it. It helps to promote fairness and justice in society by providing a framework for resolving disputes and holding people accountable for their actions.
Here are the options that correctly describe how the rule of law affects society:
A. It influences people’s behaviors and attitudes. - The rule of law sets a standard for how people should behave and encourages them to follow the law to avoid consequences.
C. It ensures the separation of powers. - The rule of law helps to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful by ensuring that each branch has its responsibilities and limitations.
E. It ensures that the law applies to lawmakers. - The rule of law requires that lawmakers follow the same laws as everyone else, preventing them from abusing their power and ensuring that they are held accountable for their actions.
Option B is incorrect because the rule of law does not always prevent lawmakers from abusing their power. It helps to prevent abuse of power, but it is not foolproof.
Option D is also incorrect because the rule of law governs how laws are enforced, not how policies are created.
Hence, the answers are A, C, and E

To help implement his idea, Marshall called on Lt. Gen. Stanley D. Embick . . . to find a suitable location where thousands of US troops could be deployed in a series of maneuvers to test their readiness. Armed with these instructions . . . Embick traveled to central Louisiana, where the Army had trained many of its soldiers during World War I. With a tattered road map as a guide, Embick and [his aide] tramped through Louisiana’s backcountry, noting the roads, trails, swamps, and forests.
Sparsely populated, thick with undergrowth and uncharted swamps, and scarred by rural traces that turn to muck at the slightest hint of rain, central Louisiana was an ideal place to prepare an army, with vast tracts of land that could accommodate the large-scale maneuvers the Army needed to conduct. The north-central part of the state is home to Kisatchie National Forest, a 604,000-acre virtual wilderness of pinewood hills. Just south of the national forest was Camp Evangeline, a 23,000-acre tract established by the Army in 1930.
