In doc. 3, Chinese government didn’t disburse much silver to its people, yet they required the people to pay heavy taxes.There was no money to pay for grain or to even harvest it, therefore less land was put into cultivation and agriculture pummeled. In doc. 6, the Europeans worked...

...When a man says a fake statement or can not prove what he said, depending on the cases he would either be put to death or pay the charges, (Doc. 6). During cases it would go one way or another, the citizen could die or be pardoned for their actions by the king or by paying. Mostly the laws in Hammurabi’s Code there are many other laws that do not end in death as a punishment. If a judge gave a statement and did all the legal necessities to complete it, but then changes it after, he will be charged for changing his verdict and pay twelve fold. He will not be able to have a seat with the judges at anymore trials, (Doc. 7). There is a justice system that also applies to judges like in the modern era, although the punishment is not that harsh as it was in the Babylonian time period. Some of the laws that...

The time it took for us to get from Texas to Kansas could be months at a time, even then if we were lucky we were able to have a break for a short amount of time and then we were back on our journey (Doc A). Sadly, at the end of the journey there was no open field, yet a packing house in which the cattle would be slaughtered (Background Essay). In the end, the long drive is not worth it because of many factors, such as, the rivers, the lack of food and...

...Belief in the Cult of Domesticity by many men resulted in many women staying in the private sphere unwillingly, unequal pay compared to similar jobs done by men, and few socially acceptable career options for women, causing them to fight these injustices legally in courts and participating in strikes and protests. On average, women received inferior education when compared to men, which prevented many women from becoming skilled workers; therefore, women claimed that the education system needed reforms due to the lack of equality. As a significant Antebellum reform movement, abolitionism attracted many women, which in turn caused them to reflect upon their own similarities with slaves and encouraged themselves to combat the social transgression...

...this determination helped achieve social reform, which the most important German reformer, Martin Luther, was completely opposed to. Though the revolts were blamed on Lutheran reforms (Doc 1), Luther himself vehemently refuted the dispute (Doc 7). He refers to the peasants as dogs and is generally cruel towards their cause. Though a religious reformer, his dependence on the German nobility would not allow him to support the peasants; therefore his point of view is one in support of quelling the rebellions. The peasants may not have had the support of their greatest religious inspiration but they still drew on his word in order to justify their fight. The peasants claim that because all men are equal under the eyes of god, they have just as much divine right as the nobles do (Doc 3). These religious drives were set out in the Articles of The Peasants of Memmingen and would be responded to by the nobles, thus connecting Docs 3 and 4. The nobles would retort to the religious grounds of the peasants by ensuring them that their salvation was not under question, but it would be if they not fall into their proper order and pay the dues owed to the lords (Doc 4). Thomas Muntzer would go as far to say that it was “God’s will” that the peasants revolt (Doc 6). Muntzer was extremely vehement in Doc 6, this passion shows point of view, since he is theologian meaning he is well versed and read and therefore chooses to use this passion to...

In the cartoon one can tell that the country was blinded by its pride in the economy that they were not able to prepare themselves for any sort of economic decline, therefore worsening any small detail of future decline. Another case of careless spending by an overly prideful nation can be seen again as the nation’s stock prices went up due to insane amounts of competitive bidding. Harry J. Carman and Harold C.

...During the 1920s, people bought nearly anything they could think of on credit, from stock, to radios and cars. Much of this can be attributed to installments. Many Americans were buying on installment faster than what they could afford which, of course, landed them in debt (Doc H). Since consumers did not have the money to pay back their debts or or to buy other goods, companies were struggling to make money which “sap[ped] the whole economy” (Doc H). By the same token, Americans began buying stock on margin. In this process, an investor paid a fraction of the stock price then a stock broker would cover the additional cost and deposit the investor’s stock into the bank as collateral. Unfortunately, if stock values declined, the investor would then have to pay the additional cost of the decrease in his collateral. When people could not provide the money to over this cost, the broker would sell the stock to protect himself and the bank (Doc G). As prices decreased, investors who bought stock on margin were more inclined to “dump” their stocks back onto the market. In hopes of getting a quick return from buying security on margin, these investors aided the United States’ fall into the depression. Overall, credit built up a large deal of debt in America and would be a contributing factor in the Great...

...unfair because he manipulated his people, he wasn’t open to any change in his laws, and lastly he treated his people unjustly. Hammurabi manipulated his people into think that his laws came directly from Shamash. For example Doc A says, Shamash is a god. Hammurabi says that Shamash advised him in a meeting with the laws. But there is no evidence to prove this meeting really happened. So he could’ve lied to his people by convincing him the god Shamash told him these laws so that his people would follow these rules. From Doc B, it quotes Hammurabi taking props of the rules that he said the god Shamash came up with. Which this shows that he lied to his people. He lied because before he said it was the god's rules...

...major players in the silver trade eventually suffered. The Europeans traded a valuable, lasting resource for perishable items, like silk and porcelain (Doc 8). The silver basically flowed out of Spain for these luxury goods (Doc 2). Being a scholar, Tomàs de Mercado saw the effect of the trade on the streets of Spain every day. This gives him a good point of view in the manual about business that he wrote. China was also hurt by the loss of silver that the middleman took as payment. In china, the government forced people to pay taxes in silver, so the government could get more. This hurt the people of china that didn’t have any silver to pay with, but rather only rice and grain (Doc 3). Wang Xijue, a court official in the Ming Empire, was writing this to the emperor of china. he was basically saying that the public needs more silver in order for the economy to fix itself. Ironically enough, the gaining of silver by the government was what led to an even worse economy. The concept of losing silver through middlemen is restated in document 5, where dye companies only accept their payment in silver, which the people didn’t have. One county official, Ye Chunji, realized that the payments of silver were bad for the economy, and issued an order for all weddings to limit expenses, so as to save those with small amounts of silver (Doc 1). With all of the silver going away from Spain...

Document six states that 98% of the population belonged to the third estate, while the third estate made the least money, they were required to pay 100% of the government taxes, paying over half of their income in tax.
