How did the location of the gobi and taklamakan deserts, the himalaya mountains, and the pacific ocean impact early settlement in china? a. it meant early peoples had to trade along the chang river. b. it meant early peoples had to develop into a seafaring civilization. c. it meant early peoples developed in isolation. d. it meant early peoples fought for fertile land as there wasn't very much.

The correct option is B

The history of China, one of the oldest civilizations in the world with continuity to the present, has its origins in the Yellow River basin, where the first Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties emerged. The existence of documents written about 3500 years ago has allowed the development in China of a very precise historiographical tradition, which offers a continuous narrative from the first dynasties to the contemporary age.

B. It meant early peoples had to develop into a seafaring civilization.  

Explanation:

As the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts were bad for farming, the early settlements of Chinese human progress were in the valleys of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

This valleys and their simple access to water gave prolific land to agribusiness, the Himalayan mountains and the Pacific sea kept them separated from other civilizations of the world and gave geographic protection.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
