Because the priests were the only ones who could read the Bible, which in that time was only translated in Latin, people relied on the priests to explain about what God wanted His people to know. So because many priests were corrupt and didn't really want to follow God's commands, they used their knowledge of latin just as a tool to tell people false doctrine like the threat of excommunication, which is supposedly the pope had control over other people's salvation, (which obviously is not true because the pope also is a man, and all men sin, not God, but they told the people that's what the Bible said because none of the peasants knew latin) if the common people didn't obey laws like giving money to the pope.

5. The purpose of the cartoon was to create sympathy for the African Americans, considering AJ despised them.

6. The intended audience was anyone who did not agree with AJ's veto. The cartoonist's purpose was to raise awareness to this issue.

7. The tone is obviously sympathy with a hint of bigotry considering Andrew Johnson's large head.

8. AJ was literally kicking out the Bureau with his veto, as illustrated in the cartoon. Racism is still largely prevalent in the government. Congress and the president disagreed on this issue. Newspaper headlines all around the country read, "<em>SIDE WITH CONGRESS, SIDE WITH THE NEGROES. SIDE WITH THE PRESIDENT, SIDE WITH THE WHITE MAN</em>."

Hope this helped.

How did religion change the lives of the people and their government in India ?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Most of the states in ancient India were politically stable. They often remained for long periods free from internal squabbles and intrigues of the kind we see today. This situation helped them a great deal in initiating measures aimed at improving the quality of life of the common people. How could the states enjoyed political peace for long stretches of time to undertake such measures? The answer is that the origin of the state in ancient India was strongly believed to lay in dharma (religion) itself and, therefore, treated as an institution not to be opposed or disobeyed.

A close study of the scriptures of ancient India reveals that the people during the Vedic and later periods firmly believed that the state had been set up by god Himself. One of the India, Kautilya, held the view that God created the state for administering a benevolent yet strict rule over the people. Manu, the famous lawgiver, said that the state was needed to enforce discipline in the life prone to act in unrighteous ways.
