2. Why were colonial New Englanders willing to believe accusations of witchcraft

History
1 answer:
Zolol [24]4 years ago

Answer:

Because they believed that the devil was acting through witches and they believed that the devil was acting in their territories.

Explanation:

The New England region promoted many adverse situations for the colonists. The cold climate, the conflict between two native tribes in the region and the spread of smallpox cases made Puritan settlers believe that the devil was close to the region and that he would continue to act negatively on their lives.

For them the devil was able to act through witches and as the population was facing many problems (in addition to the many deaths that occurred), they began to distrust each other, which initiated a vast and crazy search for witches and signs of witchcraft in the population.

Answer:

1- <u>McCulloch v. Maryland</u>:

-The Second Bank of the  United States was involved  in the case .

-The Supreme Court ruled  that a state could not  tax a federal institution

2- <u>Gibbons v. Ogden</u>:

-The state of New York was  involved in the case.

-The Supreme Court ruled that  a state could not regulate  commercial activities  between states .

-A state granted one company  exclusive rights over the  Hudson river .

Explanation:

1- McCulloch v. Maryland was a case resolved by the Supreme Court in 1819, whereby the state of Maryland was prohibited from imposing a tax on federal banks operating in its territory. Thus, the concept of federalism prevailed over the rights of the states, while guaranteeing the operability of the Constitutional "Necessary and Proper Clause", which authorizes Congress to carry out certain acts not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but that tend to comply with such authorized activities.

2- Gibbons v. Ogden was a ruling of the Supreme Court in 1824, which confirmed that the power to regulate commerce between states belonged to the federal government. This is due to a conflict between New York and New Jersey, which in principle was to be resolved by local courts, thus violating the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the right to equality between the states.

How did Thomas Aquinas attempt to explain the differences between Aristotle and the Church's teachings?
OleMash [197]
<span>Good Morning!
 
Thomas Aquinas was an avid reader of Aristotle and sought to reconcile Greek philosophy with the collection of theological productions. He said that although philosophy and theology seem to disagree on some points, they only differ in their interpretation, since both seek the truth. Thus the religion of philosophers is to know the foundation of things, while theology is concerned with human actions.
