The correct answer is B. European diseases devastated the Americans and in essence was a destructive weapon against the native peoples.

Explanation

During the conquest of America, an event called demographic catastrophe is manifested, which refers to the decline of the Native American population by the arrival of the Europeans, who brought diseases such as the flu, smallpox, cholera, and thypus, epidemics and plagues of Europe that caused the Native Americans to die because they had never suffered from such diseases before and did not have the necessary resistance to these diseases. One of the plagues that helped the spread of diseases were the rats that bit the Indians and transmitted the diseases and infections that were fatal to them. So, the correct answer is B. European diseases devastated the Americans and in essence was a destructive weapon against the native peoples.

How did the case in Re Gault (1967) impact society?

Mumz [18]

It was upheld in Re Gault case that due trial is upheld in Juvenile cases along with adult cases.

Explanation:

Juveniles acquitted in delinquency proceedings were to be given the same free rights of due trials as are given to adults according to this trial.

This landmark decision came to be when 15 year old Gerard Gault was taken into custody and then put to trial. The subsequent appeals led to a convulsed court setup where it was called in to question how much juveniles can be able to defend themselves i court.

This changed the legal system in USA for juvenile crimes.
