4 0

A Puritan was a member of a group called the English Protestants, who in the 16th and 17th centuries advocated strict religious discipline in addition to the simplification of the ceremonies and creeds of the Church of England. The Puritans, in short, were people who wanted to reform or purify their church. The Puritans believed that God had formed a unique covenant, or agreement, with them. They believed that God expected them to live according to the Scriptures, to reform the Anglican Church, and to set a good example that would cause those who had remained in England to change their sinful ways.

How can I write a speech about tax reform? What's a good tax to pick to write about?

kirza4 [7]

You can easily write about the history and how tax reform started and the meaning and purpose of it. i feel like that is a good way to approach a speech if it’s meant to be informative about the topic. a lot of people know what is going on with the legislature in today’s day but do not agree with it. explaining the benefits or the negatives could be a good outlook too. form your own opinion on it and then back that up with evidence! so like research and statistics. hope that helps.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B. applying most Bill of Rights protections to state governments.

Explanation:

Incorporation, according to United States law is simply the way sections of the Bill of Rights are applied to state level instead of only federal level.

Before the 20th Century, most notably in 1833, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights applied only to federal legal and not at state level. Also in 1876, the Supreme Court also ruled that the First and Second Amendment didn't apply to the state level.

However, from the early 1900s, there were decisions taken by the Supreme Court which interpreted that the Fourteenth Amendment was to incorporate many parts of the Bill of Rights and for the first time, it was applicable to state governments.
