History

ale4655 [162]3 years ago
6 0
New religious sects were on the rise in Europe. In England, William Penn attended Oxford where he joined the Society of Friends (Quakers). These new sects were treated badly, and the Quakers received the worst treatment of all. They were thrown in prison for refusing to obey any law that disrupted their religion and they refused to pay to support the state religion. The only way to escape such treatment was to go to America. William Penn's father was an Admiral and King Charles II had owed him a sum of money. Admiral Penn was dead so William Penn asked King Charles II give him a tract of land in payment of the debt. King Charles II granted him much of present-day Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

Why did Montezuma II go to war with surrounding city-states
Bond [772]

Answer:

Montezuma II was the last ruler of the Aztecs in the years between 1502 and 1520, when the Spaniards conquered the empire.

During the reign of Montezuma, the Aztec Empire reached its peak of geographical size. Montezuma invaded its neighboring nations and expanded its empire all the way south to Soconusco (a territory that now borders Mexico and Guatemala). During this war, the Zapoteca and Tlapaneka nations were incorporated into the Aztec Empire, always with the aim of obtaining greater benefits through the payment of taxes and tributes by the conquered territories, but also with the aim of obtaining new prisoners to offer as sacrifice to their gods.

Elanso [62]
<span>the rise in the popularity of music videos affected the radio industry in a positive and negative way...  Wider ranges of music became memorable for more than just the sound, and easily accessible, the next best thing to being there live to see your favorite artists... This broadened the types of music radio stations played, with it came a double-edged sword in the form of dedicated music television channels, which went on to multiply many times until tv has become saturated by clones... Radio must try harder than ever to remain engaging, going beyond just playing music.</span>

Did john marshall go beyond the constitution when he applied judicial review in marbury
BaLLatris [955]
Numerous originalists would reply "yes," on the grounds that legal audit isn't listed as an energy of the Judicial Branch in the Constitution. 


Then again, the legal audit was at that point a setup training when the Constitution was composed, and the Framers, a significant number of whom were attorneys with information of court method, didn't expressly disallow it. Article III makes no say of how the Judicial Branch should practice statute. The absence of direction has a tendency to infer the Framers deliberately permitted adaptability and a level of independence in deciding the courts' operation. In the event that they had no aim for the Judicial Branch to go about as a mind the energy of the other two branches, they could have set more unequivocal rules for the legal to take after.
