This quote is saying that even men who understand and practice law are not better people because of it. The first part says that "law never made men a whit more just" 'a whit more' means 'any more', and 'just' means honest or good. So the first part means 'law never made men any more honest.
The second part says "<span>by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice". 'This section basically means 'because they like law and respect it they have access to all of the inner workings and details, they are able to manipulate it to use law for their own injust purposes.

Basically, this is saying that men who know a lot about law aren't necessarily good and a lot of the times it just makes them more able to support injustices.</span>

Which of the following is NOT true of Aaron Copland?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

C. His style was electric, he sought inspiration from American music of all kinds.

Explanation:

First of all, Aaron Colplan musical contributions  were more focused on American classical music. He sought inspiration mostly on Jazz, so it is not true that his style was electric like other genres. Additionally, the other options are true. Copaland was one of many composers who thought on that time that music should be composed for intellectuals and not for the people; He also studied in Europe with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, who was a great influence for him as well; and, finally,  He  believed on the potential of American music and how it will eventually be more famous than other popular genres from other  countries. He was indeed a promoter of American music.
