One of the things that needs to be understood is that of the performing arts, probably one of the first to appear during first Greek and then Roman times, was the theater. Theater began as a tradition in Greek society and as the Romans came into contact with Greek culture, and as Romans adopted a Greek-like lifestyle, theater also became a part of Roman society. Intended as a way to entertain the masses, the first genre to emerge first in Greece and then in Rome was the genre of tragedy (or melodrama) and then comedy. Although the initiation of theater as a whole dates to 534 BC in Greece, in Rome, both tragedy and comedy began around the year 240 BC with melodrama being the most common and better known of the two. As for actors, because both Romans and Greeks believed in the inferiority of women, and also believed that putting a woman on stage was endangering the reputation of women, at first, women were not allowed to participate in theater of any type. However, at some point, women were allowed to perform in theater, particularly in melodramas, although their roles were always silent. It was not until 1660 in England that women were given the right to perform fully in any play. This is why the correct answer is A, simply because melodrama was the first and better known genre of theater.

How did the Supreme Court define the role of the federal government in Marbury v. Madison (1803) and McCulloch v. Maryland (1819
drek231 [11]
Hi there!

Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland are some of the earliest examples of landmark cases in the history of the Supreme Court. Their decisions, which have had lasting impacts on the interpretation of the Constitution, are vital to todays understanding of the federal government.

Marbury v. Madison established the policy of judicial review. Judicial review holds that the court has the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional should it be inconsistent with the Constitution. This put a sizable check on the power of Congress to pass laws and established the power of the court in the new government.

McCulloch v. Maryland established that when it comes to clashes between state laws and federal laws, federal laws will always trump state laws except for a few rare exceptions. This reaffirmed the power of the new national government and the broad sweeping power it had over the states.

The single largest organization for women's political involvement was the
Leokris [45]

In 1874, a group of Cleveland women organised the Women's Christians Union with the goal to end the production, marketing and consumption of alcohol. This organization put pressure on Ohio and the Federal governments to implement a ban on alcohol. In order to reach their goals, members of this group protested pubs and saloons by singing marching, and draining alcohol. In the initial phase, the members of the group tried to convince people to reduce the consumption of alcohol. In the later phase, however, members of the organization used rather extreme methods to change the mind of the Americans to avoid the consumption of alcohol.

How was the western schism different from charles martels victory in the battle of tours
lana [24]

western schism was a splitt in the Catholic church between 1378 and 1417  while the victory of Charles Martel in the battle of tours was the victory of Christians over Spanish moors which stopped Muslim advances to Eastern Europe.

Explanation

Western schism occurred due to the conflicts in the Catholic church and two men simulatneously claimed to be the pope.The rivalry defamed the Catholic church and came to an end in 1418.

Battle of tours was much different from western schism because it was not a conflict within a religious authority but a conflict between two kingdoms.
