PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

Why did the Fugitive Slave Act anger Northerners? a) It contradicted the Missouri Compromise. b) It increased federal interventi
Papessa [141]

The answer is <u>b) It increased federal intervention in the affairs of independent states.</u>

By the time these federal Acts were enacted in the U.S., several Northern states had already abolished slavery but it was legal in the Southern states. The Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 allowed for the capture and return of runaway slaves within the territory of the United States, aiming to prevent that the Northern states would become safe havens for runaway slaves.

The last act was more rigid in their provision and stated more regulation, including the guarantee of harsher punishments for anyone interfering in runaways slave's capture, the right of slave owners and their “agents” to search for escaped slaves within the borders of free states and compelled citizens to assist in their capture as well. It also denied slaves the right to a jury trial, among others.

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 implied much government's intervention in the state's affairs, and this angered most northern states. They responded by intentionally neglecting the law or creating acts that nullified or that protected black people, the so-called "personal liberty laws", and by making great efforts to assist runaway slaves, among others.

Discursive essay freedom of religion is abused by some churches
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Freedom of religion is abused by some churches

There is a famous maxim: ‘the nearer the church, the farther from God’. This maxim aptly describes the state of most of the churches across the globe.

The churches impose outdated, parochial, orthodox limitations on religion, seekers of truth. The most absurd aspect of these limitations is distortion of the word of God given by enlightened Messiahs, Prophets, Gurus, and Messengers of God. The churches force people to pay more attention to rituals and services than on GOD. Seeking God with all one’s heart, mind, and body is less important than religious ceremonies, hollow prayer services. Most of the religious formalities conducted are devoid of sincere devotion, love, and reverence to God.  

Hence, in spite of so many churches across the globe, there is no real God in them – only formalities. All the Messengers of God praised and worshipped God; but churches praise Messengers only. No Messenger of God intended to be worshipped and be the seekers’ ultimate goal. They intended the seekers to consecrate themselves to God realization. They gave the message of universal brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God. They instructed mankind to see God in all and all in God. But churches have their own doctrines to promote. As a result there are certain clashes among people following different churches.  

Churches should spread the divine messages of divine Masters and Messengers of God without any fanaticism. They should give unrestricted freedom to seekers and God should be the only priority. Only then churches all across will fulfill their purposes.
