Explanation:
what is the significance of the 1832 supreme Court case of Worcester versus Georgia?
1. the Case established state law over tribal law
2. the Case established sovereignty in tribal territories
3. the case establish the power of Federal Constitution over state constitutions
4. okay it's establish the rights of native Americans to enter government buildings
Answer:
2
Explanation:
515 (1832), was a landmark case in which the United States Supreme Court vacated the conviction of Samuel Worcester and held that the Georgia criminal statute that prohibited non-Native Americans from being present on Native American lands without a license from the state was unconstitutional.
The Case established sovereignty in tribal territories is the significance of the 1832 supreme Court case of Worcester versus Georgia. Hence, option B is correct.
What was the Supreme Court decision on Indian sovereignty?The ruling fundamentally changed the status quo, reversing nearly 200 years of national law enforcement practice that had consistently excluded state jurisdiction from federal jurisdiction over crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country.
The Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta decision, which the Supreme Court handed down in June, gave governments unprecedented authority to prosecute offenses in Indian nation at the expense of Indigenous people and tribal sovereignty.
As a result of Oklahoma v. Castro Huerta, a regrettable new rule has been established: states have jurisdiction over Native lands unless Congress expressly limits this authority or it is decided that state jurisdiction is infringing on tribal sovereignty in an illegal manner.
Thus, option B is correct.

How does the term popular sovereignty fit Douglas’s views?
Answer:
Fearing that the issue might disrupt the Republic, he argued for the doctrine of popular sovereignty-the right of the people of a state or territory to decide the slavery question for themselves-as a Union-saving formula. He led the fight in Congress for the Compromise of 1850.
Popular sovereignty is a controversial political doctrine upon which the people of federal territories should decide for themselves whether their territories would enter the Union as free or slave states.
Douglas' viewDouglas viewed popular sovereignty as a way for the nation to get on with the business of organizing new territories. But policy of popular sovereignty had ramifications that even its strongest supporters did not foresee.
Therefore, popular sovereignty fits into Douglas' view in such a way that the two views or notions call for self-determination.

Which European colonies in the Americas had the most varied economic activities, including farming, fishing, and trading A.
Portuguese
B.
French
C.
Spanish
D.
British
British as European colonies in the Americas had the most varied economic activities, including farming, fishing, and trading. Thus, option D is the correct option.
What economic activities did the British colonies have?Through the sponsorship of the Plymouth Company, which founded a transient settlement called Roanoke in modern-day Virginia, the British made their way to North America in 1587. The London Company then established a foothold at what would eventually become Jamestown, Virginia, in 1606. These businesses sought out the business prospects provided by the natural resources that were plentiful in this "New World."
The economy of the colonies, which varied depending on the location, was mostly based on agriculture and the sale of goods to England. While the northern colonies had small family farms, the southern colonies had vast plantations that grew tobacco or cotton and required slave labor. British economic expansion was fueled by the colonies' provision of raw resources for the country to sell finished goods. Slavery was one of several crimes against humanity that were caused by mercantilism.

In what ways did the Haitian revolution produce equality? What were the limits of this equality?

After they ran out of whites to kill, the slaves turned their anger to the Affranchis, the wealthy people of color. Soon, freed slaves were the majority of the population in a free and "equal" land.

Cuáles fueron los logros de la dinastía Shang? Explica cómo impactaron al desarrollo de la antigua China?
La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.
A pesar de que no anexaste opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.
Entre los logros principales de la dinastía Shang está la invención de la escritura. Una serie de jeroglíficos fueron encontrados por los arqueólogos y exploradores en donde varios signos parecen grabados en bronce y en los llamados huesos de oráculo. A partir de ahí se fue desarrollando una escritura más sofisticada.
Otro logro de la dinastía Shang es el manejo del bronce como material para elaborar distintos artículos. De igual forma, durante la dinastía Shang se desarrollaron importantes avances en las matemáticas con lo números, pares, números primos y lo que sería algunos principios de los registros contables en la administración de los recursos en el imperio.
Los habitantes de la dinastía Shang también inventaron o desarrollaron una serie de instrumentos musicales que fueron usados en la corte del emperador.
Todos estos inventos impactaron directamente el desarrollo de la antigua China porque sentaron las bases de un futuro más promisorio para las subsecuentes dinastías, que a partir de estos descubrimientos, pudieron desarrollar mayores tecnologías para el imperio.
