This is an interesting question and something military historians have been trying to answer since more than a 100 years.

Enfield rifles were used by the British Army in the mid 19th Century and most of them used grease made of animal lard.

The East Indian company had conscripted an Army of locals within India. These were made up of mostly Hindu and some Muslims men.

Rumors began to circulate that the grease of made of cow or pig lard. This was highly offensive to Hindus and Muslims alike, since Hindus considered the Cow to be their god and Muslims considered pig to be unclean.

To how large of an extent did this play in turning into the 1857 Rebellion is arguable, however, it did inflame tensions between the occupied and the occupiers.

Define political polarization as it applies to the Supreme Court.

There are no options to arrive at the correct solution. I would answer this question from my research and hope that it comes to your help. Political polarization as it applies to the Supreme Court is when one justice refuses to work with the other justices on the bench. It starts acting like a political institution and it is not good.

What was a lasting influence of the laws passed during the reconstruction period?

Tamiku [17]

One portion of the Reconstruction Amendments was to preserve "birthright citizenship" as a Constitutional Right. This was very much an 18th century idea, from an age when people were far less portable, and almost all lived their whole lives within a few miles of their birthplace. Birthright citizenship is United States citizenship picked up by virtue of the circumstances of birth. It is different with citizenship acquired in other ways, for example by naturalization later in life. Birthright citizenship may be conferred by jus soli or jus sanguinis. Under United States law, U.S. citizenship is spontaneously allowed to any person born within and subject to the authority of the United States. This comprises the regions of Puerto Rico, the Marianas and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and also applies to children born elsewhere in the world to U.S. citizens (with certain exceptions).

kakasveta [241]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, neither mention the plans referred, we can say the following.

The plans put forth at the Constitutional Convention adequately addressed the problems that existed under the Articles of Confederation to the extent that these allowed the creation of the new Constitution for the United States with a solid central government that included many powers that did not exist under the Articles of Confederation.

Let's have in mind that under the Articles of Confederation, the central government was weak. It was the states the only ones that could raise money through taxation. Congress was very limited.

That is why the delegates et at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to create the new form of government.
