C.  People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.

Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.

When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.
By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue.  In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999.   
Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also.  Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it.  You could check out a good book on the subject,<em> The Big Ditch</em>, by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.

  • 28. Napoleon's Impact on Europe after the Napoleonic Wars

The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars that changed European powers and produced a French hegemony in Europe for a brief period. The major changes of the wars on Europe were the rise of the middle class, the rise of commerce and industry and the shift of power because European monarchs could not restore old absolutism, so they had to make alliances with the new powers that emerged with the Napoleonic Wars.

  • 29. The accomplishment of the Concordat of 1801

The major accomplishment of the Concordat of 1801 was the restoration of the Catholic Church in France. Napoleon was given the right to nominate bishops, bishoprics and parishes and seminaries.

This agreement was important because during the French Revolution there were intense church reforms and the many confiscations of the church’s property and this mended the relationship.

  • 30. Role of plebiscites in Napoleon’s rise to power.

After the French Revolution, France became politically unstable and other European powers used this on their favor and tried to invade French territories. Because of that Napoleon became a famous figure because he was in the French military and won against Austria and Italy.

He used plebiscites to make himself Emperor of France since he could not do it in a legal way. In a simple way, he used plebiscites as a coup d’etat to take power to himself as Emperor and centralize the government.

How does section 6 protect free speech?
Basile [38]

Answer:

1)Section 6 also says that Senators and Representatives shall not be questioned in court or by the President for any speech or debate they give or participate in on the floor of the Senate or the House. This assures ample freedom of debate in Congress.

2)To ensure the separation of powers among the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government, Article I, Section 6, prohibits a senator or representative from holding any other federal office during his or her service in Congress.
