What was the predominant religion in Pennsylvania?Quakerism

History
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Quakerism

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious group emerged in England in 1647 as a dissent from the Anglican Church. One of the pillars of the faith of the Quakers is the belief there is no need to create a clerical organization, then all faithful are ministers of God. The Quakers lived in recollection and preached the practice of pacifism, solidarity and philanthropy. In order to guarantee their moral purity, they also defended, let alone moderate, attitudes: they refused to pay tithes to the official church, to take oath before the magistrates in the courts or to pay tribute to authorities, including the king. They were still refusing to do military service and take part in wars.

They presented original ideas in 17th-century English absolutist society, and for this reason, they were eventually persecuted by Charles II. For this reason, a large part of the Quakers emigrated to the United States, where, led by William Penn, they created the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681.

f the essay question was, “What is Stephen King’s best work?” which of the following would be the best way to start a conclusion
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a. In conclusion, due to the vast catalog and the fact that Stephen King is still writing, it is impossible to declare that any of Stephen King’s works as his best.

Explanation:

The conclusion paragraph is the restatement of the main argument(s) made in the essay. This means that whatever has been discussed in detail in the essay's body paragraphs, the conclusion merely sums up and restates the main point(s).

And on that note, the best start of a conclusion paragraph about Stephen King's best work will be to state that there cannot be any best work by the author as he is still actively writing novels, thereby making it possible to produce better works in the coming future too.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

Out of all of the Enlightenment thinkers, who stood out the most and why? Do you agree with Hobbes' Enlightenment ideas? Support
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Thomas Hobbes, an English philosopher and scientist, was one of the key figures in the political debates of the Enlightenment period. Despite advocating the idea of absolutism of the sovereign, he developed some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought.

Hobbes was the first modern philosopher to articulate a detailed social contract theory that appeared in his 1651 work  Leviathan. In it, Hobbes set out his doctrine of the foundation of states and legitimate governments and creating an objective science of morality.

Hobbes argued that in order to avoid chaos, which he associated with the state of nature, people accede to a social contract and establish a civil society.

One of the most influential tensions in Hobbes’ argument is a relation between the absolute sovereign and the society. According to Hobbes, society is a population beneath a sovereign authority, to whom all individuals in that society cede some rights for the sake of protection. Any power exercised by this authority cannot be resisted because the protector’s sovereign power derives from individuals’ surrendering their own sovereign power for protection.

Hobbes also included a discussion of natural rights in his moral and political philosophy. While he recognized the inalienable rights of the human,  he argued that if humans wished to live peacefully, they had to give up most of their natural rights and create moral obligations, in order to establish political and civil society.

Why were US celebrations somewhat subdued during "VE" day? Question 5 options: The US had lost more troops than Britain or Franc
castortr0y [4]

The answer is:  The US still had to defeat Japan

VE day refers to the day when the Nazi surrendered to the alliance during the world war ii, which occurs on May 3rd 1945.

At that time, our enemy during world war Ii was not Germany alone. Germany formed a strong coalition with Italy and Japan in a group called the Axis-power.

Italy has surrendered 2 years before Germany. Which means that after the VE day, United states still had to defeat Japan who had a very strong foothold in Asian territory.
