Answer:

The correct answer is D. In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.

Explanation:

Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.

The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

What role did the government play in the homestead strike of 1892?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

ANSWER: The government gave support to the Carnegie Steel Company to put a halt to the strike.

The Homestead strike (Homestead, Pennsylvania) was a result of the discontent of the American's strongest union at the time "Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Worker" toward the Carnegie Steel Company for breaching the contract signed in 1889, putting new productions demands and firing the workers of the plant.

On July 6, 1892, ten thousand people supporters of the union did a strike, in which the Company sent three hundred Pinkerton guards. The strike couldn't be repressed, it resulted in many ending up injured and the death of nine strikers and seven guards.

Henry Clay Frick, the manager of the Company, having no other option, appealed to Governor William Stone. Stone supported the company by sending eight thousand militia, which arrived on July 12.
