What was the "Trail of Tears"?

History
1 answer:
sukhopar [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The term "Trail of Tears" refers to a series of forced relocation of ~60,000 First Peoples from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States, to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as "Indian Territory", caused by the Indian Removal Act. In Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the U.S. Supreme Court objected to these practices and affirmed that native nations were sovereign nations “in which the laws of Georgia [and other states] can have no force.” Even so, the maltreatment continued. As President Andrew Jackson noted in 1832, if no one intended to enforce the Supreme Court’s rulings (which he certainly did not), then the decisions would “[fall]…still born.” Southern states were determined to take ownership of Indian lands and would go to great lengths to secure this territory.

Does this violate the first amendments freedom of religion? why or why not?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Yes, it violates the First Amendment's freedom of religion as it leads the event with a particular faith's belief regardless of the diversity of the school's pupils and the school is a public-funded establishment.

Explanation:

The First Amendment's freedom of religion refers to the right of all citizens to practice and follow any form of religion they wish to. This right secures a person from being persecuted for following a certain faith.

But in the given scenario of a public school leading a sporting event with a student-led prayer, this is a clear violation of this amendment. This is because a public school doesn't have any specific religion to adhere to, and that a practice or any act of adherence to a particular belief is a violation of the rights of the students who may be from a different faith.

Thus, this is a violation of the First Amendment.

What organization lost credibility once the heliocentric theory was proven?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The Roman Catholic Church

Explanation:

Before Copernicus's Heliocentric Theory, The Catholic Church believed in Greek philosopher Aristotle's Geocentric Theory, where the Earth was the center of the universe.  He believed- and I kid you not, that everything moving in the sky was propelled by the world-soul, or soul of the planet, and that their orbits were explained by huge, perfect, chrystalline spheres that contained the celestial bodies and surrounded Earth like a Russian nesting doll.  The Catholic Church adopted this theory and sprinkled Jesus on top.

Copernicus (and after him, Galileo) contributed to the disproving of these literally ancient notions.
