What Are Tariffs, and What Do They Do?

A tariff, at the most basic level, is a tax charged on goods or services as they move from one country to another. You may also see them referred to as a “customs duty,” as the term is often used interchangeably with “tariff.” Tariffs are typically charged by the country importing the goods. They serve two purposes: economically, they generate revenue for the importing country and protect home-based industries producing those same goods. Some tariffs, called protective tariffs, charge a higher tax on imported goods so the domestically produced versions of the same goods can be sold at a more competitive price.

In contrast to protective tariffs, revenue tariffs exist primarily to raise money on goods that are not produced domestically, allowing the government to invest in other resources. For example, nonprotective tariffs include import taxes on oil produced elsewhere, or products that are only produced in other countries.

B. floods and an earthquake
C. overpopulation and lack of domesticated animals
D. infectious diseases and drought

Answers

1. D. Inca settlements were difficult to find and reach because they were build at high altitudes on rough terrain.

Inca civilizations were well hidden and protected from outside influences due to their location high in the Andes Mountains of South America. It took the Spanish a while to find them, though diseases reached the outlying settlements even when the Spanish did not.

2.  D. infectious diseases and drought

The Maya civilization experienced a lengthy and extreme drought that led to widespread starvation, which reduced their population and influence over the region long before Europeans arrived in Mesoamerica. The Inca and the Aztec populations were wiped out by the infectious diseases the Spanish conquistadores brought with them.

What type of government did all the African empires have ?

Answers

All the Kingdoms of of West Africa gained their wealth from the so called Gold salt trade with the Islamic states to the north.

Ghana was the first kingdom of west Africa. Using the technology of storing grain and iron working ,the kingdom gained ascendancy in West Africa. Then with a monopoly with trade to the Islamic states became wealthy. The West African Kingdom would trade gold, ivory and slaves, for salt , manufactured goods, and cloth.

These precious goods from the north would then be traded with other tribes in Western Africa adding to the wealth. The Niger River was instrumental in moving goods within West Africa.

Ghana was replace by Mali as the dominate force in West Africa. Mali continued the same pattern of trade with the Islamic States. One of the kings of Mali Masa Musa ( meaning Great King) even traveled to Mecca bringing immense amounts of gold and slaves to the north

Mali was conquered by the Kingdom of Songhai. This kingdom followed the same pattern of trading gold, ivory and slaves with the north. The Niger River continued to be the main source of trade within Western Africa.

Then the Islamic Kingdom of Morocco decided to cut out the middle man. The Islamic Kingdom of Morocco destroyed the Songhai empire. However the other Western African kingdoms and tribes wouldn't trade with the Moroccans and the Gold Salt trade dissolved.

All three of the Western African kingdoms depended on the Gold Salt trade and control of the Niger River to dominate West Africa.

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, French Declaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen, one of the basic charters of human liberties, containing the principles that inspired the French Revolution. Its 17 articles, adopted between August 20 and August 26, 1789, by France’s National Assembly, served as the preamble to the Constitution of 1791. Similar documents served as the preamble to the Constitution of 1793 retitled simply Declaration of the Rights of Man and to the Constitution of 1795 retitled Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and the Citizen. Despite the limited aims of the framers of the Declaration, its principles could be extended logically to mean political and even social democracy. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen came to be, as was recognized by the 19th-century historian Jules Michelet, “the credo of the new age.”
