Answer:

may not be applied to those who were under 18 when they committed a crime

Explanation:

The Supreme Court has decided that the death penalty may not be applied to those who were under 18 when they committed a crime. Even if they commit a horrific crime, such as homicide, the most ammount of time they can serve is live in prison, without parole. Also, in 2012 the court announced that life in prison for anyone under the age of 18, is unconstitutional. Therefore, most children will have a resentencing hearing to decide how long their new sentence will be. However, the judge does not have to change their sentence.

Answer: Cognitive Dissonance

Explanation: The term cognitive dissonance is used to describe the feelings of discomfort that result from two contradictory beliefs. When there is a discrepancy between beliefs and behaviors, something has to change in order to eliminate or reduce the dissonance.

People have an inner need to ensure that their beliefs and behaviors are consistent. Inconsistent or conflicting beliefs lead to disharmony, which people strive to avoid.

Why was South Carolina established as a colony?
vodka [1.7K]

In the 1670s, English planters from Barbados established themselves near what is now Charleston. Settlers built rice plantations in the South Carolina Lowcountry, east of the Atlantic Seaboard fall line. Settlers came from all over Europe. Plantation labor was done by African slaves who formed the majority of the population by 1720. Another cash crop was the Indigo plant, a plant source of blue dye, developed by Eliza Lucas.

So technically, South Carolina became a colony for its fertility and its products that could grow in the crops.
