The plaintiff in the case, was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black, and had the appearance of a white man. On June 7, 1892, he purchased a first-class ticket for a trip between New Orleans and Covington, La., and took possession of a vacant seat in a white-only car. Duly arrested and imprisoned, Plessy was brought to trial in a New Orleans court and convicted of violating the 1890 law. He then filed a petition against the judge in that trial, Hon. John H. Ferguson, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.

5. Germany and Italy. They were known as the Axis Powers. (I have German friends, Japanese friends, and Italian friends. I'm concerned as I'm Korean...)

6. Well, the USA was starting to get concerned with Japans ethics. So they embargoed oil to Japan. So, to prevent US attacks from their navy. They attacked them to cripple their navy to prevent anything bad happening soon. (Until almost 4 years later they dropped the nuclear bombs)

7. Malaya... They defeated allied powers very quickly.. Until their weapons became hopelessly obsolete.

8. The US Pacific fleet faced off against Japans fleet. It was terrific. The Japanese fleet was crippled here. In fact this was the 1st battle navies fought without directly seeing each other.

Which two of the following were outcomes of the Council of Trent? The church gave Catholic sacraments the same significance as t
Juliette [100K]
It's not D. since even today some people (may not be specifically Catholic, but certainly many Christian groups) sell indulgences.
It's also not A. since it was, and still is the Protestants who believe the Bible holds everything that they need, and the Sacraments have no value, while on the other hand Catholics have realized the sacraments that Christ gave us and explained to us through his word within the Bible. Finally, it's not C. because the church excommunicated Martin Luther who at one point was a priest.
It makes sense that B and E are the answers since 1. The message of the church had been limited to latin for hundreds of years and 2. The church sold indulgences to those who didn't want to have faith or commit works of good to enter into salvation, rather, they wanted an easy way out.
