Answer:

b). Seeking revenge is unwise because it prevents the law from punishing the person.

Explanation:

The central argument that is being put forward by this statement from Francis Bacon's essay titled 'On Revenge' would be that 'seeking revenge is unwise as it prohibits the law from punishing the culprit.' Bacon firmly believes in law and justice and thus, he critiques the very idea of revenge and calls it a wild form of justice. <em>He argues that the revenge is unnatural as it makes one equal to the other on whom the revenge is being sought. Thus, he gives the inference that 'a prince's part to pardon</em>.' Hence, <u>option b</u> is the correct answer.

African men were given the right to vote , However what were some major problems with this ?
12345 [234]

Answer: Hope this helps.

Explanation: States still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendents of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves.

Read this excerpt from paragraph 9 of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and answer the question.
KonstantinChe [14]

In the letter, King, mentions how Socrates made people think by creating tension in the mind, and how he wants to do the same so that in a non violent way, people would become a better version of themselves (not racist) and would therefore come together as a brotherhood. Taking into account these ideas, the correct answer would be option B: "The strain among opposing groups in Birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient Athens, to which Socrates referred". Option A is incorrect because Socrates and King were not seeking the same goal. Option C is incorrect because King never mentions city officials or that Socrates petitioned Greek city-states and finally option D is incorrect because King never mentions that Socrates was trying to achieve harmony between warring groups.
