Answer:
I like to read several things: newspapers, magazines, books, and poetry.
Explanation:
I used bold font where I edited the sentence. When you use the colon(:), you are about to use a list. That is exactly what happens in this sentence, so you replace the semicolon(;) which is used to join two or more ideas.
Whenever you are at the end of a list, you always add a comma(,) at the end of the last item before "and," so I put a comma there.
The first one is better in my opinion
Answer:
- Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it.
- Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing.
- Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.
Explanation:
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was passed in light of the Supreme Court upholding an Oregon state decision to deny two American Indian men unemployment benefits for having taken a banned substance which they normally use in their religious events.
Congress passed this bill with only 3 Senators opposing it so that it could prevent such from happening again.
The Supreme Court however ruled the Act as unconstitutional as it claimed that Congress was overexerting its powers by: changing the meaning of the First Amendment, creating a law that was disproportionate to the problems it was fixing and overexerting federal power on states and taking away their rights to manage their affairs in this regard.
Your answer would be A) What.
<em>Ancient people's believed in Gods and deities for causes to nature and the unexplained. Once the fourth century BC rolled around, people began to see "astronomical phenomena" as "natural compound products of simple operations repeated in perpetuity" rather than the actions of Gods. (Morphet, p.6) Greeks did not revere celestial bodies very strongly in their religion, despite having deities for the Sun and Moon. (North, p.78) Different peoples beliefs varied greatly in ancient times. Different countries progressed in thought at different speeds. During the Renaissance, many began to "toss aside medieval preoccupations with supernatural forces and turned to secular concerns" like fame. (Yamasaki, p.50) With the "Age of Discovery," people began to think for themselves and ponder truths through philosophy, science, astronomy, astrology, etc.</em>
Hope this helps some!!! :)
