Causes of 1848 revolution of liberals in Germany |
|
Answer» Thank you ?? The 1848 revolution of the liberals refers to the various national movements pioneered by educated middle classes alongside the revolts of the poor, unemployed and starving peasants and workers in Europe. While in countries like France, food shortages and widespread unemployment during 1848 led to popular uprisings, in other parts of Europe (such as Germany, Italy, Poland, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), men and women of the liberal middle classes came together to voice their demands for the creation of nation-states based on parliamentary principles. The political, social and economic ideas supported by the liberals were:\t\xa0Politically, they demanded constitutionalism with national unification, nation-state with a written constitution and parliamentary administration.\t\xa0Socially, they wanted to rid society of its class-based partialities and birthrights. Serfdom and bonded labor had to be abolished.\t\xa0Economically they demanded freedom of markets and right to property. The abolition of state-imposed restrictions on the movements of goods and capital. |

Answer» Thanks Answer:\xa0(a) Nationalism is a feeling that combines all the people of the nation into a single unit. It is a powerful sentiment that binds people together in a common bond beyond their communal, lingual, caste or religious differences. In all the colonies of the world, the imperialist power exploited the people socially, religiously, economically and politically.\tColonization affected people’s freedom, and nationalist sentiments surged during the process of struggle against imperial domination.\tThe sense of oppression and exploitation became a common bond for people from different walks of life, and this resulted in the growth of nationalist ideals.\tAlthough each class or group of people felt that they were being oppressed under colonialism, the effects of colonialism were felt differently.\tPeople started uniting against the colonialism which strengthened the\xa0sense of nationalism further.Thus, the\xa0growth of nationalism in the colonies is linked to anti-colonial movements.\xa0For more click on the given link:https://mycbseguide.com/blog/ncert-solutions-for-class-10-social-science-history-nationalism-in-india/ |

What was the input provided by french revolution in promotion of nationalism? |
| Answer» The French Revolution in 1789 was an influential event that marked the age of revolutions in Europe. The major outcome of the revolution was the formation of a constitutional monarchy and a sizeable reduction in the royal and feudal privileges.It paved the way for the achievement of bigger goals of national identity and national pride, which can be aptly called nationalism.The revolutionaries referred to France as la patrie or the fatherland, where all citizens, known as le citoyen, enjoyed equal rights under the constitution.\xa0The revolutionaries tried to establish a collective French identity for the people by adopting French flag, composing nationalistic songs and hymns, discouraging the use of regional dialects and adopting French as the common language of France.The French Revolution had its impact on the administration as well.\tA body of active citizens, elected the Estates General and renamed it the National Assembly.\tA centralised administrative system was created formulating uniform laws for all French citizens.\tAll internal custom duties and dues were abolished.\tA uniform system of weights and measures was adopted.The metric system was founded by France in 1791.\xa0The French revolutionaries also took it upon themselves to help other European countries to overcome autocracy and form nations. The French armies were welcomed by European countries like Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy in the 1790s.After the French Revolution emerged a famous historic personality and warrior, Napoleon Bonaparte.\xa0He introduced several effective administrative changes like the civil code of 1804 introduced by Napoleon also known as the Napoleonic code.As per this code:\tThe privileges enjoyed by the noblemen and clergy on the basis of birth were abolished.\tEquality before law and the right to property was secured.\tThe feudal system was abolished and the peasants were freed from serfdom and the payment of dues to the manor owner.\tThe businessmen and small producers of goods felt that uniform laws, standardised weights and a common national currency could facilitate free trade across Europe.\tGuild restrictions were removed and transport and communication systems were improved.The countries under the French rule soon realised that their political freedom that had been lost.Higher taxes, forced enrolment of people into the French army and censorship overshadowed the positive administrative changes brought about by Napoleon, and led to his downfall. | |

How do we need to calculate the GDP? |
| Answer» \tEconomists suggest that the values of goods and services should be used rather than adding up the actual numbers. The value of goods and seivices in the three sectors are calculated and thep added up.\tNot every good (or service), that is produced and sold, needs to be counted. It makes sense only to include final goods and services.\tFor example: A farmer sells wheat to a flour mill for ? 8 per kg. The mill grinds the wheat and sells the flour to a biscuit company for ? 10 per kg. The biscuit company uses flour, sugar and oil to make the packets of biscuits. It sells biscuits in the market to the consumer for ? 15 per packet. Now, biscuits are the final goods, i.e., goods that reach the consumer.\tIntermediate goods are used up in producing final goods and services. The value of final goods already includes the value of all the intermediate goods that are used in making the final goods.\tSo, the value of final goods and services produced in each sector during a particular year, provides the total production of the sector for that year. And the sum of production in three sectors gives us the ‘Gross.Domestic Product or GDP’. | |
| 41971. |
Why do we need to eliminate the intermediate goods and services? |
| Answer» The problem of double counting is the problem of estimating the value of goods and services more than once. Value of intermediate goods is not included in the estimation of gross domestic product because value of intermediate goods is reflected in the value of final goods. For e.g. a farmer sold wheat to flour mill for Rs 10 per kg. The mill grinds the wheat and sold the flour to a biscuit company for Rs 12 per kg. The biscuit company uses the flour, sugar and butter to make 5 biscuit packets. These biscuits are sold to consumer at Rs 15 per biscuit packet (Rs 75). Here biscuits are the final goods which are purchased by the consumer. Wheat and wheat flour are the intermediate goods used in the production of final good. The value of biscuit, Rs 15 includes the value of flour, Rs 12. Hence, only the value of final goods and services are taken into consideration. | |

Why we need political parties |

Explain forms of power sharing for 20 marks |
|
Answer» Thank u The different forms of power-sharing in modern democracies are:\t\xa0Horizontal Division of Power- It is the sharing of power among the different organs of government, for example, power sharing by the executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. In this type of power-sharing arrangement, different organs of government, placed at the same level, exercised different powers. Such a separation ensures that none of the organs can exercise unlimited power, thereby putting a check on each other.\t\xa0Vertical Division of Power- It is a system of power sharing among governments at different levels. For example, a general government for the entire country and governments at provincial or regional levels. In India, we refer to it as the Central Government, State Governments, Municipality, Gram Panchayat etc. The Constitution lays down the powers of different levels of government.\t\xa0Division of Power among different Social Groups- Power can also be shared among different groups which differ socially like different religious and linguistic groups. ‘Community Government’ in Belgium is a good example of this type of power sharing. The system of reserved constituencies in India is another example. Such an arrangement is used to give minority communities a fair share in power, who otherwise would feel alienated from the government.\tDivision of Power among Political Parties, Pressure Groups, and Movements- In contemporary democracies such a division takes the form of competition among different parties, which in turn ensures that power does not remain in one hand and is shared among different political parties representing different ideologies and social groups. |

Write any three characteristics of black soil. |
|
Answer» Join Betternation.xyz This is a site where u can have a lot of friends and fun ? ? Thank you The following are five important characteristics of Black soil:\tIt is fine textured and clayey in nature.\tIt has high amounts of lime, iron, magnesium and generally low quantities of phosphorus, nitrogen and organic matter.\tIt is black in colour since it is formed from weathered lava rocks.\tIt has up to 50% clay content and therefore is highly retentive of water. Because of the high clay content, these soils expand when wet and become difficult to plough through. During the dry season, these soils shrink and develop big cracks which help in the circulation of air.\tThe soil is extremely fertile in most of the places where it is found. |

How cotton derived from crop? |
| Answer» Cotton\xa0is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the\xa0cotton\xa0plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the\xa0cotton\xa0bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.After cotton has been harvested, producers who use conventional tillage practices cut down and chop the cotton stalks. The next step is to turn the remaining residue underneath the soil surface. Producers who practice a style of farming called conservation tillage often choose to leave their stalks standing and leave the plant residue on the surface of the soil.eeding is done with mechanical planters which cover as many as 10 to 24 rows at a time. The planter opens a small trench or furrow in each row, drops in the right amount of seed, covers them and packs the earth on top of them. The seed is planted at uniform intervals in either small clumps (“hill-dropped”) or singularly (“drilled”). Machines called cultivators are used to uproot weeds and grass, which compete with the\xa0cotton plant for soil nutrients, sunlight and water.About two months after planting, flower buds called squares appear on the cotton plants. In another three weeks, the blossoms open. Their petals change from creamy\xa0white to yellow, then pink and finally, dark red. After three days, they wither and fall, leaving green pods which are called cotton bolls.Inside the boll, which is shaped like a tiny football, moist fibers grow and push out from the newly formed seeds. As the boll ripens, it turns brown. The fibers continue to expand under the warm\xa0sun. Finally, they split the boll apart and the fluffy cotton bursts forth. It looks like white cotton candy.Since hand labor is no longer used in the U.S. to harvest cotton, the crop is harvested by machines, either a picker or a stripper. Cotton picking machines have spindles that pick (twist) the seed cotton from the burrs that are attached to plants’ stems. Doffers then remove the seed cotton from the spindles and knock the seed cotton into the conveying system. | |

Give a brief introduction about Jute? |
| Answer» Jute\xa0is the second most important vegetable fiber after\xa0cotton\xa0due to its versatility.\xa0Jute\xa0is used chiefly to\xa0make\xa0cloth for wrapping bales of raw\xa0cotton, and to\xa0make\xa0sacks and coarse cloth. The fibers are also woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, area rugs, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum.\xa0It is a bast fibre, like hemp, and flax. Coarse fabrics made of\xa0jute\xa0are\xa0called\xa0hessian, or burlap in America. Like all natural fibres,\xa0Jute\xa0is biodegradable. "Jute" is the name of the plant or fiber that is used to make burlap, Hessian or gunny cloth. | |
