Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter," literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta influenced many common law documents, such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, and is considered one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy.

Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John, and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that "the will of the king could be bound by law." Many clauses were renewed throughout the Middle Ages, and further during the Tudor and Stuart periods, and the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By the early nineteenth century, most clauses had been repealed from English law.

There are a number of popular misconceptions about Magna Carta, such as that it was the first document to limit the power of an English king by law (it was not the first, and was partly based on the Charter of Liberties); that it in practice limited the power of the king (it mostly did not in the Middle Ages); and that it is a single static document (it is a variety of documents referred to under a common name). Nonetheless, rights established by the Magna Carta have subsequently become fundamental principles of international human rights and it can be argued that democratic societies developed as a long-term consequence of this charter.

Question 9 of 10

<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. Because the Sudanese government focused on rebels in general,

not a specific ethnic group.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Since the early 2000s, violence against the Sudanese government has been prevalent in the Darfur region. Although, it was not defined as genocide by the UN.

Genocide

First, we need to understand what genocide is.

  • Genocide is defined as the deliberate killing of a specific ethnicity, nationality, or religious group.

For the UN to declare something a genocide, a specific group, usually a minority, must be targeted for their unique traits, like ethnicity.

There are 5 forms of genocide:

  1. Killing members of a group
  2. Causing grave mental or physical harm
  3. Forcing purposely terrible living conditions
  4. Preventing new births
  5. Forcing children out of the group

One of these must occur to a specific group of people for the UN to declare genocide.

Atrocities in Darfur

While the Sudanese government did deliberately kill people within Darfur, the government attempted to attack rebels. So, the government did not specifically target the ethnicity. However, the majority of the rebels were from Darfur, so some people saw it as a genocide.

Who were bonnie and clyde and how did their actions affect the midwestern united states during the early 1930s?
Montano1993 [528]
Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas. After meeting Clyde Barrow in 1930, Parker eventually entered a world of crime. Robbing banks and small businesses with her partner and affiliated gang, she became one of America's most infamous outlaws of the '30s. Their almost two-year crime spree spanned several states, with the gang responsible for the murder of several people that included law enforcement officials.

Bonnie and Clyde had many immediate effects and several long term effects on society. One of the biggest short-term effects was the loss families had after Bonnie or Clyde killed someone. One long-term effect was the fictionalized ideas of what Bonnie and Clyde were.

There were many short term effects that Bonnie and Clyde had on the society around them. The biggest short-term effect was the loss families had to deal with after Bonnie and Clyde had Killed one of their family members. Another short-term effect was obviously the change in the police officers lives that were after them, especially retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who was specially brought in to take down Bonnie and Clyde.

While the long-term effects made by Bonnie and Clyde were not as significant to their immediate effects, they are still a large part of society today. One of the long-term effects created by these two was the fictionalized ideas of what the couple was. Even though they were bank robbers they never really had a lot of money and they often camped out and were constantly on the run. Another long-term effect that Bonnie and Clyde had on society is their reputation. When anyone thinks of classic bank robbers, two that instantly comes to mind are Bonnie and Clyde.
