On October 25, 1774, the First Continental Congress sends a respectful petition to King George III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule. Despite the anger that the American public felt towards the United Kingdom after the British Parliament established the Coercive Acts—called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists—Congress was still willing to assert its loyalty to the king. In return for this loyalty, Congress asked the king to address and resolve the specific grievances of the colonies. The petition, written by Continental Congressman John Dickinson, laid out what Congress felt was undue oppression of the colonies by the British Parliament. Their grievances mainly had to do with the Coercive Acts, a series of four acts that were established to punish colonists and to restore order in Massachusetts following the Boston Tea Party. The first of the Coercive Acts was the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston to all colonists until damages from the Boston Tea Party were paid. The second, the Massachusetts Government Act, gave the British government total control of town meetings, taking all decisions out of the hands of the colonists. The third, the Administration of Justice Act, made British officials immune to criminal prosecution in America and the fourth, the Quartering Act, required colonists to house and quarter British troops on demand, including in private homes as a last resort.

The king did not respond to the petition to Congress’ satisfaction and eight months later on July 6, 1775, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution entitled “Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms.” Written by John Dickinson and Thomas Jefferson, the resolution laid out the reasons for taking up arms and starting a violent revolution against British rule of the colonies.

romanna [79]

Desiderius Erasmus lived during a time period of significant change in 1500's Europe. This rebirth, or awakening, was being felt around the known world. During this time period in Europe, a religious renaissance was occurring. The Catholic Church, which was once the one and only church with the Pope as its all powerful leader, was beginning to be challenged by "free thinkers" who opposed some of the traditions and ideals put forth by Catholicism. This time period was also a rebirth/renaissance in the areas of technology, science, arts, and philosophy. The introduction of gunpowder, for an example, forever changed human warfare and made battles more deadly than ever.

Which of the following was a response to the issue of displaced persons after ww1?​
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

the displaced person act

Explanation:

The Displaced Persons Act was signed into law by President Harry Truman on June 25, 1948. The law authorized the admission of select European refugees as permanent residents of the United States. The law's provisions were temporary, taking effect in 1948 and ending in 1952. Refugees crowded into provinces adjacent to the front in the hope of being able to return to their homes within a matter of days or weeks. These hopes soon evaporated. Following the retreat of Russian forces from Galicia, tens of thousands of civilians fled to L'vov and adjacent towns. Thus the refugee crisis had two main causes. The first was enemy occupation that persuaded civilians to flee along with retreating troops. (Of course, not all civilians did so.) The second cause was the state's use of force against its own people – in other words, organised deportation.
