Why was it Western Europe rather than China, the Muslim world, or some other non-Western society who effected the globalization era of the sixteenth century? Be specific. B. What were the possible factors that allowed some non-western societies to resist or cope with the arrival of Westerners better than others? Give examples.

A Military strength and Imperialism

B Religion, Unity, Organization

Explanation:

A The sixteenth century saw the rise of  European imperialism, protagonized by the Spanish who had just reconquered the Iberian peninsula on the Arabs. The Muslim world was in retreat, China was isolated.

The military (tecnological) supremacy of the Spanish in the Americas was overwhelming and the Indians, both in North & South America, were easily conquered.

B Take the negative example of the Aztecs in México: their religion  hampered their military organization. They were united as a tribe but other tribes, like the Tlaxcaltecas, were ready to help Cortés a hand in destroying the Aztec empire.

Now a positive example, i.e. resisting or coping with the arrival of Westerners, is more difficult to find. In any case they are more likely to be found in Asia, where powerful and united nations (socially and religiously) such as China or Japan proved to be more resistent than their fellow-countries in Africa or the Americas.

the answers is b.   environments.

the united states constitution defines the structure of the national government and dictates the scope and limitation of its powers. the constitution is known as “the supreme law of the land” and all other laws are measured against it. the application of the articles and amendments of the constitution comprise constitutional law.

in addition to the united states constitution, each state has its own constitution and therefore, its own body of constitutional law as well. state constitutions resemble the federal constitution in that they outline the state government’s structure of legislative, executive and judicial branches as well as contain a bill of rights.

but there are various ways state constitutions differ from the federal constitution. often, state constitutions are much longer and more detailed than the federal constitution. state constitutions focus more on limiting rather than granting power since its general authority has already been established. as a result, the constitution of alabama is six hundred pages long whereas the federal constitution can be easily read in one sitting front to back.

the details in state constitutions are not particularly “constitutional” in nature. they often address topics unique to the state. the federal constitution can only be amended through a lengthy process designed to limit changes to this fundamental document. as a result, it has only been amended seventeen times since the adoption of the bill of rights in 1791.

state constitutions are more open to amendments. amendments can be proposed by legislature, a constitutional commission or citizens’ petition and can be accepted by referendum.   for example. the constitution of massachusetts has been amended one hundred and twenty times. the constitution of georgia has even been replaced altogether as many as ten times.
