The historian Procopius attributes this speech to Theodora. She supposedly said it to Justinian when he wanted to flee from the

Nika Riots.
"Now if you wish to save yourself, O Emperor, this is not hard. For we have much money; there is the sea, here are the boats. But think whether after you have been saved you may not come to feel that you would have preferred to die. As for me, I like a certain old proverb that says: royalty is a good shroud (burial garment)."
—History of the Wars, Procopius

Which of the following reflects Theodora’s attitude about dealing with the Nika Riots?
It is too dangerous to flee the rioters.
It is shameful for an emperor to flee the rioters.
It is politically savvy to flee the rioters.
It is honorable for an emperor to flee the rioters.

The correct answer should be
<span>It is shameful for an emperor to flee the rioters.

Basically, she tells him that it is better to die as royalty and be buried as such than to flee and die like a commoner somewhere else where you are not respected. It would be easier to flee, but better and more honorable if they stayed and died.</span>

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C.)Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote.

Explanation:

The Grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from voting by ensuring "Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote."

The Grandfather clause was made in the Southern part of the United States in 1895 and existed till 1910. The purpose is to deny African Americans from voting. It stated that anybody who had in the past held the right to vote before the period of 1866 or 1867, and their lineal descendants would be free from necessarily meeting the educational, property, or tax requirements for voting.

Why do you think the workers in these factories accepted these conditions and did not quit? in the story "The Jungle"
netineya [11]
They probably had no other choice. During that time, it was hard to get a job with a solid pay for many people (especially immigrants). If they decided to quit, they would have to find other jobs, which probably have bad conditions as well. If they couldn’t find any good jobs, then they would basically become homeless and wouldn’t be able to pay for themselves and their families. (Back then, families were much more important.)
