Answer: Monetary Compensation

Explanation:

This question relates to the shipwrecked sailors Dudley and Stevens who killed and ate a fellow sailor named Brooks in order to survive the ordeal. A criminal case was brought by the state in <em>The Queen vs Dudley and Stephens</em> wherein they were sentenced to death but subsequently released after about 6 months.

If a Civil case had been brought against them, the Plaintiffs would be asking for monetary relief or compensation because in Civil Court the punishment is either monetary compensation or an order to the defendant to fulfil their obligation in the contract in dispute.

As Brooks was already dead, the only logical relief the plaintiffs could receive would be monetary compensation not unlike what OJ Simpson was ordered to pay the family of Ron Goldman when he was found liable for Goldman's murder in civil court.

Which of the nation of Islam’s of beliefs did Malcom X reject later in life ?
slava [35]

Answer:

The separation of the races was the only way to achieve a free society.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • All people should be free to worship as they please.
  • The separation of the races was the only way to achieve a free society.
  • Islam was a religion of oppression.

Malcolm X was a social leader and human rights activist who gained notoriety during the civil rights movement in the United States. Malcolm X is also remembered for having been part of the Nation of Islam, a group that advocated black supremacy, black empowerment, and the separation of black and white Americans. This went against the ideas of the civil rights movement which encouraged nonviolence and racial integration. However, later in life, Malcolm X publicly renounced the Nation of Islam, including its ideas on the separation of races.
