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.

How were the steamboat and the locomotive similar in their impact
Inessa [10]
Both used the source of coal to run and they both transported needed and wanted materials. The only difference was that the steamboat was obviously by water and the locomotive was by land. Their similar impact was that they both transported wanted and needed goods faster and there was less work needed since it was just individuals working the machines and it made it easier
