History

borishaifa [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. Arguably one of the most consequential amendments to this day, the amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by the states of the defeated Confederacy, which were forced to ratify it in order to regain representation in Congress. The amendment, particularly its first section, is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution, forming the basis for landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education regarding racial segregation, Roe v. Wade regarding abortion, Bush v. Gore regarding the 2000 presidential election, and Obergefell v. Hodges regarding same-sex marriage. The amendment limits the actions of all state and local officials, including those acting on behalf of such an official.

How did militaries of Sparta and Athens different
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The main difference between them was that Athens focused on the sea while Sparta focused on the land. Spartan boys went into training when they were only 7 years old. Every man had only one occupation and that was the soldier. They were a fierce and unmatched fighting force in Greece at the time but only on land. On sea Athens dominated with its superior navy with a ship design called the Trireme. It was a lot more powerful in battel than previous ships at the time.
