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>

If you could choose between living in medieval Europe as a serf, knight, lord/noble or specifically as King Charlemagne, which w
ziro4ka [17]

From these social classes of Medieval Europe, I consider the best is the lord/noble.

During the Middle Ages, European society was organized into different social classes. The main social classes included:

  • The King and Queen.
  • The lord/nobles.
  • The knights.
  • The serfs.

This social structure implied the king and queen had more power but also more responsibility in society. On the opposite, the serfs had less power but were not responsible for big decisions or social aspects.

Based on this, the best social position will be the one of lord/nobles because:

  • They were not responsible for all the nation.
  • They had power over other social levels including the serfs.
  • They did not have to risk their lives to protect the king as it happened to the knights.
  • They still had multiple benefits such as control over lands, access to carriages, horses, etc.

Answer:

She should be prosecuted

Explanation:

In order to convict a defendant of malicious destruction of property, the Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:

The defendant destroyed or damaged the personal property, building, or dwelling house of another person;

The defendant did so willfully; and.

The defendant acted with malice.

I copied this online, so don't copy, but this shows why you could convict Tracy of the crime. She destroyed people's personal property, their phones, which she did willfully. This goes to show why she should be prosecuted and charged. Thanks, and I hope this helps! BRAINLIEST PLEASE!
