Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr all had major accomplishments in uncovering the fundamental building blocks of matter. Who do you think is the most important contributor to develop the current technological appliances in your daily life? Justify your reason.

Thomson

Explanation:

Rutherford discovered the nucleus from which emerged the scientific table, nuclear fusion E.t.c

His work is the basis of the new technologies today

Rutherford

Explanation:

Simply speaking,

Democritus discovered the atom.

Dalton gave the atomic theory and establishes that 2 atoms form a compound.

Thompson discovered corpuscles (later called electrons) from his study of the cathode rays.

Rutherford, a student of Thompson discovered the nucleus and proposed an atomic theory that greatly improved on Dalton's.

Bohr did extensive research on particle physics. Bohr's Atomic Theory was an improvement on Rutherford's and this led to his postulation of the Quantum theory.

To me, Rutherford is the important contributor to development of the Screen technologies like TV sets, PC screens and monitors and etc which happens to be the current technology appliances in our daily lives.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
