Answer:

His arrogance and pride angered the gods.

Explanation:

Sophocles's Antigone tells the story of when the two princes Polyneices and his brother Eteocles fought against each other for the throne of Thebes. And the brave decision of Antigone in disobeying the decree of King Creon and burying her brother's corpse led to the fateful ending of the characters but upholding the true nature of family ties.

The Chorus is a group of elderly men who are respected and their decisions accepted easier than others. They represent the older and wiser opinions and regarded as more trustworthy. And according to them, the cause of Polyneices's death is his arrogance and pride in his own abilities, which they think angered the gods. Their statement

"Polyneices their commander

Roused them with windy phrases,

He the wild eagle screaming

Insults above our land"

which led to his death

"For God hates utterly

The bray of bragging tongues".

2. Why did people support the Populist Party?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The People's Party was able to exploit a huge gap in the political market place left by the two main parties. In the late nineteenth century, there didn't appear to be too many significant differences between the Democrats and the Republicans, both of which were broadly committed to similar policies. Yet in the 1890s, at the height of what became known as "The Gilded Age," many people, especially farmers in the South and Midwest, looked for a radically different approach that would address the concerns of those left behind by the rapid development of America's increasingly industrialized economy.

What is the process called when a bill becomes a law?

natali 33 [55]

According to the United States House of Representatives, the process when a bill is passed and becomes a law in print is called Legislation. A resolution is passed after a bill is proposed to the President for his approval. A bill and a joint resolution are also considered the same. Except that a joint resolution needs a vote from the senate and the House of Representatives and if voted for by the majority is sent straight for implementation and the President's signature is not needed.
A bill may be vetoed by the members or amended. It can result in a lot of debate before it is done either too.
