Answer:

The correct answer is option a) it gave 160 acres of land to any person that wanted it and met certain requirements.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by president Abraham Lincoln and was aimed at expanding North America into the western region. It allowed any US citizen, including freed slaves, to claim up to 160 acres of land for a very low fee. In order to grant these lands, the <em>Native Americans</em> that lived there were sent to very confined areas called <em>"reservations"</em>. The requirements included <em>living five continuous years</em> in the land granted and farming it. Also, to be the head of a homestead they needed to be <em>21 years old. </em>

What was the impact of the Napoleonic Code?
horsena [70]

The development of the Napoleonic Code was a fundamental change in the nature of the civil law system, making laws clearer and more accessible. It also superseded the former conflict between royal legislative power and, particularly in the final years before the Revolution, protests by judges representing views and privileges of the social classes to which they belonged. Such conflict led the Revolutionaries to take a negative view of judges making law.

During the 19th century, the Napoleonic Code was voluntarily adopted in a number of European and Latin American countries, either in the form of simple translation or with considerable modifications.
