Between 1692 and 1693, the Salem witch trials took place in colonial Massachusetts. Twenty persons were put to death after being charged with using witchcraft, the Devil's sorcery.

What is witch trials?
Between February 1692 and May 1693, a series of hearings and trials for those accused of witchcraft took place in colonial Massachusetts. There were more than 200 accusations. Thirty individuals were found guilty, and 19 of them were hanged (14 women and five men). Giles Corey, another man, was put to death by being pressured to confess, and at least five inmates also passed away while they were being held. In addition to Salem and Salem Village (now known as Danvers), arrests were also made in a number of other towns, most notably Andover and Topsfield. In Salem Town, where the hangings also took place, grand juries and trials for this capital offence were convened in 1692 by a Court of Oyer and Terminer and in 1693 by a Superior Court of Judicature.

Because Christian authorities had changed their minds, there was a widespread witch hunt throughout Christendom. Serious differences or disagreements among churchgoers or groups are what lead to conflicts in the church. These conflicts typically revolve around major decisions regarding new pastoral staff, the use of a building or mission finance, the format of worship services, church festivals, etc. After sceptic jurists, particularly Sir John Holt (1642-1710), had already substantially stopped convictions of accused witches under English law, the Witchcraft Act 1735 put an end to prosecutions for purported witchcraft in England.

Which phrase does the protest document use to describe conscription?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer here would be that "conscription was despotism."

Despotism refers to the absolute rule of the a single entity who rules as it choose. That was usually a monarch but it can be any kind of government that obstructs the rights of its citizens. It is used to describe the abuse of power and the oppressing of people. Here conscription is despotism as the government is oppressing the people and their rights given to them by the 13th Amendment and it is abusing its power.
