Answer:
Pandemic flu" has been one of the buzzwords of late 2005. But how does the phrase that's on everyone's lips differ from "epidemic," that other well-worn disease term?
Apparently, a lot of people aren't sure. Merriam-Webster reports that "pandemic" is the seventh most frequently looked-up word in its online dictionary this year. The definition: "occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population."
This is almost the same as the dictionary definition for "epidemic," and it doesn't explain much when it comes to influenza -- a.k.a. the flu.
An epidemic of influenza is different from the dreaded pandemic that scientists and world health officials fear is nigh. We might see an epidemic of seasonal influenza during any given year. In fact, we just had one.
Flu reached epidemic levels in the U.S. for 10 weeks in a row during the 2004-2005 season. Records kept by the CDC show that during the week ending March 5, 2005, 8.9% of all deaths reported in 122 U.S. cities were due to influenza and pneumonia (a common complication of the flu).
The CDC's definition of a flu epidemic relates to the percentage of deaths in a given week caused by influenza and pneumonia. The "epidemic threshold" is a certain percentage above what is considered normal for that period. The normal level, or baseline, is statistically determined based on data from past flu seasons.
Christine Pearson, a spokeswoman for the CDC, cautions that the definition of an influenza epidemic doesn't apply to other diseases.
Seasonal flu epidemics may sicken millions, but those who die are typically a small number of the elderly, very young children, and people with weak immune systems. That's not the case during the worst influenza pandemics.
There are two main features of an influenza pandemic. First, the virus is a new strain that has never infected people before. Second, it's on a global scale. Sometimes it's also unusually deadly.

In the early years of human history, people traded goods with one another. This tradition continues in today's world. Many of the goods used every day were acquired as a result of trade. Today, trade remains very important to economic survival.

Think about trade in early empires versus trade today.

How have methods for transporting goods changed over time?
How has industrialization and the production of manufactured goods affected trade?
How do government regulations and trading blocs affect trade?
Have the benefits of trade changed over time?
How has the construction of canals or roads changed trade routes?
Answer:
OK, I only have answers for the 1st and last one but here we go
Explanation:
The methods for transporting goods have changed a lot over time. Now, we can trade is often done by ships. But back in the ancient days they probably traded mainly by foot and/or horseback.
The construction of roads and canals have affected trade routes a lot. With canals and roads, people looking to trade or trading can go to much farther places in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, trade with roads/canals is much easier than it was without.

You are a delegate at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. The Federalists and Anti-Federalists debate over whether to create a stronger federal government or keep more power with the states. Which side of the debate would you have supported?
Answer:
Anti-Federalist
Explanation:
The Anti-Federalist movement is what makes up the core of the current Republican Party. It called for a weaker central government (or what is now known as the federal government), and allowed for individual states to govern themselves based on their own needs and, to a certain degree, wants. Essentially, what is imposed on one group can be drastically different from another community.
For example, take counties for example. A urban county in California can create legal codes and laws that are more suited for it's own citizens, such as having a larger police force, focus on worker's rights, and many others. On the other hand, a county with large amounts of farmland may prioritize getting a sustainable and easy access to water for each member of the community that owns farmlands, as well as priority towards community goods that can enhance not only their individual produce, but also the community's output and growth as well, not only on the scale of supply, but also in profits, etc.
Essentially, the Anti-Federalist party wished for internal sustainability on the long term, by allowing smaller individual governments to meet the needs of it's own people. What does the federal government do then, you may ask? In that case, the federal government keeps together the union, and is tasked with foreign affairs. Each individual county may contribute funds to the state, which in turn contribute funds to the federal government (mandatorily). The federal government would then take care of the foreign affairs, alliances, as well as use the funds to raise an army in times of need. The system of the federal government should still be in place, with the executive, legislative, and judicial branch. The power will be balanced as it is intended to be today.

This is what I would think back then, I am actually a democrat lol
