Answer:

Four English traditions and laws have the US copied from England:

The MAGNA CARTA or GREAT CHARTER which was signed by John Lockland in the year 1215. He was forced to sign because the Barons rebelled against his taxation abuses. In clause 39, this document states no free man could be imprisoned or punished “unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land”. This clause is <u>the antecedent of the trial by jury</u> and equality of all before the law.

Two-House Legislature which emulates the English Parliament with The House of Lords and The House of Commons.

Sergeants-At-Arms: after Nicholas Maudit was named by King Henry V (1415) "the first House of Commons sergeant-at-arms", sergeants had long functioned as bodyguards.

We the People: The philosopher John Locke, after the Glorious Revolution, wrote a book called “The Second Treatise of Government,” in which he argues that people and government have a "social contract" that both parties legitimize.

Xelga [282]
They were both intended to create a government for the common good.
The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document written by Pilgrims on their way to the United States from England. This stated that they had the liberty to control their settlement without the King of England's rule, which they opposed to. The Iroquois Constitution was an oral document written on native artifacts, banding together the Iroquois Confederacy. Both were objectives to band groups of people together for the common good and for a good common use of governance.

Why did movie theaters become an important source of entertainment during the Depression?
trasher [3.6K]

The second alternative is correct (B).

During the Great Depression the film industry became the great highlight of the arts.

The 1930s and 1940s were considered the Golden Age of Cinema. The technologies developed at the time made the films more realistic and cinema was replacing the Theater in the position of main source of entertainment.

G<u>oing to the movies became a social event, so people, tired of the effects of the Great Depression, used the film sections as a source of leisure and socialization, which was good for the minds of people in financial depression.</u>

Zigmanuir [339]
