History

Answer:

It functioned only as a court system, but now it is able to perform "Judicial review" (basically determining if a law is Constitutional or not)

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation originally left out the Judicial Branch. In the Constitution all that is stated is that "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” It did not elaborate or establish an initial purpose for the branch, but instead left it all up to Congress. Later with the Judiciary Act the Supreme Court was established, which gave the Judiciary Branch the role of functioning as a court system. During the tenure of John Marshall, the Supreme Court expanded its purpose by declaring a state law unconstitutional in the "Fletcher v. Peck" case. This established the role of the Judicial Branch in Judicial review.

Answer:

The whole document is written in Latin, and the original Magna Carta had 63 clauses. Today, only three of these remain on the statute books; one defends the liberties and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, and the third gives all English subjects the right to justice and a fair trial. The third says

“No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.In 1215 King John agreed to the terms of the Magna Carta following the uprising of a group of rebel barons in England.The Magna Carta is considered one of the first steps taken in England towards establishing parliamentary democracy.

In the century after Henry III’s version of the Magna Carta, parliament interpreted the document’s message as a right to a fair trial for all subjects.

During the Stuart period, and particularly in the English Civil War, the Magna Carta was used to restrain the power of monarchs at a time

Who were the Hellenistic successors?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The Hellenistic world eventually settled into four stable power blocks: the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and Macedon.

The Macedonian generals carved the empire up after Alexander's death (323 BC); these were the successors (the Diadochi), founders of states and dynasties—notably Antipater, Perdiccas, Ptolemy I, Seleucus I, Antigonus I, and Lysimachus.
