1 answer:

6 0

Interest in HAWAII began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith. Since the 1840s, keeping European powers out of Hawaii became a principal foreign policy goal. Americans acquired a true foothold in Hawaii as a result of the SUGAR TRADE. The United States government provided generous terms to Hawaiian sugar growers, and after the Civil War, profits began to swell.

What impeded the effectiveness of the Fourteenth Amendment in providing equal protection and citizenship rights?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The 14th Amendment was issued around the Reconstruction period, basically to provide equal rights to slave descendants after the Civil War, granting citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the country, and it has become kind of the main provision in the USA Constitution to enforce Civil Rights and prevent violations; but it was only until the Civil Rights Era around the 1950s and 1960s that really became effective; affairs such as "Jim Crow laws", white supremacy organizations, multiple segregation policies, voter suppression mechanisms such as "The white primries", poll taxes and some others like literacy tests vastly impeded the effectiveness of the Amandment for a long time.

How are the three major monotheistic religions both alike and different?

NISA [10]

Christianity: They believe in a God, a God that is divided into three, the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity; they have the Bible as a sacred book, they accept that Judaism is prior to them and they deny Islam.

Judaism, the oldest monotheistic religion, believes in one God and denies the other two major monotheistic religions (Christianity and Islam), believes in the wonders of God, and to be a Jew you have to take courses and have Jewish descent. His holy book is the Torah. He probably descends from the heresy of Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) and his followers.
For Islam, the main book is the Qur'an karim, believe in Judaism and Christianity, this religion is the last to emerge from among the monotheists as the prophet Muhammad is the last prophet. They believe in one God and only pray to Him.
