Answer: The judge ruled that the only issue before the jury was whether Scopes had taught evolution, and no one had denied that he had, he was found guilty.

Explanation:

In 1925 the state legislature of the state of Tennessee passed a bill outlawing the teaching of evolution in public schools and colleges. The governor signed the bill with the hope that it would never be applied. He was wrong. In the town of Dayton, in eastern Tennessee, citizens excited to benefit from a burst of publicity persuaded a 24 years old high-school science teacher and part-time football coach, John T. Scopes, to accept an offer from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to defend a test case. He was found guilty, but the Tennessee Supreme Court, while upholding the state’s anti-evolution statute, overruled the $100 fine on a technicality. The real question was if the state should pass laws prohibiting the teaching of evolution in public schools and colleges. The Scopes trial did not end the uncivil war between evolutionists and fundamentalists. It continues to this day.

ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can't understand this grievance without the next word. It is a very famous part of the declaration. The next word is violence.

Now read your quotation.

He has excited domestic violence ... Jefferson meant that George has done nothing good as far as America is concerned.

In other words, he has made Americans (who at the time were British Subjects) enemies the inhabitants of those already there on the frontiers.

excited means make people act.

domestic means those living in America or the citizens of any country. Domestic is an adjective describing the kind of violence that flooded the country. It means setting one citizen against another citizen (in this case).

This grievance goes on to state that George has encouraged North American Indians to follow their traditions of mercilessly killing every citizen regardless of state, gender or age.

The correct answer is C) the impact of the French Revolution.

Thomas Jefferson's reaction to the Jay Treaty as expressed in the letter was most directly a reflection of ongoing debates in the US over the impact of the French Revolution.

The Jay Treaty was signed by the government of the United States and Great Britain on November 19, 1794, in London, England. It was signed trying to resolve many difficulties and conflicts between the two nations after the Revolutionary War of Independence.

In a letter written to James Monroe on September 6, 1795, Thomas Jefferson expressed his concerns about the articles included in the treaty and the repercussions to the French government.
