<span>This change happened gradually. Quakers were some of the first people in the Americas to own slaves. However, objections were brought up by Dutch Quakers in the 18th century that changed the Christian sect's outlook on owning slaves. From these objections, Quakers gradually stopped owning slaves and became some of the most vocal abolitionists. The Quaker biblical justification was in the verse Matthew 7:12 which stated that Christians had a responsibility to adhere to a higher standard of living morally. The Quakers did not believe owning slaves was a part of living up to these standards.</span>

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

3. testify in court on behalf of immigrants

Special interest groups, for example, immigrants themselves, have the right, in a pluralistic society, to testify on behalf of immigrants.

4. get a Senator to introduce legislation to ensure healthcare for Hispanic children

As long as the special interest group uses arguments, and not money, it has the right to try to convince a senator to induce particular legislation.

5. meet with Congressional leaders to ask for the protection of religious minorities

This situation is similar to the one above. Special interest groups can meet with Congress people and try to convince them of certain acts or legislation, like for example, protecting religious minorities.

People of the Indus valley civilization were mostly nomads
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A long, long time ago, there

was a group of people called

the Aryans. The Aryans were

possibly from southern

Russia and Central Asia. As

nomads, they never liked to

linger in one place. Instead,

they much preferred to herd

their animals by moving

them from one spot to

another. About 3,600 years

ago, the Aryans decided to change their lifestyle. They wanted to give

up endless wandering. They wanted to have a permanent settlement

that they could call home. When they arrived in India, they did

exactly that. As the Aryans learned to adapt to their new environment,

they brought with them their religion and customs. Their culture later

became the foundation of the Indian culture and led people to believe

that it was India's oldest civilization
