<span>I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, which added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.</span>

Elenna [48]

The correct answer is Plessy Vs. Ferguson. In the landmark case Plessy vs. Ferguson, it was ruled that segregation of facilities was constitutional as long as those facilities were equal in quality. This is were the term "Separate but Equal" comes from. However, during the case Brown vs. The Board of Education it was ruled that racial segregation violated the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution. It was this ruling that rendered the ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson invalid because the ruling was unconstitutional.

Select a recent political leader and compare her or his characteristics to Charlemagne's

Over [174]

Answer:

We can take for example Josip Broz Tito, a former president of Yugoslavia.

Explanation:

During his time the country went to the period of renewal. People, especially women gained more rights, new laws were introduced. The rate of literacy increased as never before. Reforms were introduced, country prospered. I believe that we can compare him with Charlemagne as although as him he wasn't very educated he realized the need for education, literacy and improvement of life condition as well.
