History

Verizon [17]3 years ago

The Union Army took a series of military actions during the Civil War in which their troops took control of the Mississippi River. Mississippi was the main north-south avenue of transport.  In July 1863, the western part of the Confederate states was split from the states east of the Mississippi River. Plan of the Union Army generals was to defeat the Confederacy through blockade of ports and control of rivers. Answer: Union forces took control of Mississippi River because they wanted to cut off the eastern part of Confederacy and to control the supply lines.

Union forces wanted control not only of the Mississippi River, but the Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers (which they achieved by capturing Ft. Henry and Ft. Donelson). The Mississippi gave them a water route to use for movement of troops and supplies into the South, and by following the River to New Orleans and capturing the city, they were able to close off a major port of the Confederacy. (Control of the other rivers also provided a route to penetrate farther into the south with the assurance of the river to facilitate supply lines -- without that necessity, they were significantly limited in their ability to advance, needing proximity to Union-controlled territory or a railroad, and railroads in the South were few.)

Which statements are true of the Magna Carta? Choose all answers that are correct.
Nata [24]

Answer:

3. The Magna Carta guaranteed that the king could not impose new taxes without permission from a council.

1. English barons and church leaders wrote the Magna Carta because they could no longer tolerate King John's abuses of their traditional rights.

Another way to rephrase the first one is;

Among the many restrictions placed upon the King by the Nobles was the idea that the king could not impose taxes without the approval of the “common counsel” of the Kingdom:

Another way to rephrase the second one is;

The committee of Twenty Five were a group of barons in the forefront of the opposition to King John who were entrusted by the terms of clause 61 of Magna Carta to ensure the king’s compliance with its terms.

The church clergy that helped were Cathedral churches in Salisbury and Lincoln.

Explanation:

Justice

King John’s father, Henry II (r. 1154–89), introduced extensive judicial reforms, established the authority of the royal courts and laid firm foundations for the future system of justice in England. In contrast, John regularly abused the justice system to suppress his opponents and to extort revenue from the barons. The justice system and feudal law were two of the main themes addressed in Magna Carta, and the most famous clause dealt with justice:

No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

The barons ensured that numerous other clauses in Magna Carta defined in more detail how the justice system and its officials were to operate. These clauses sought to remedy specific abuses by the king and to make the system more consistent, accessible and fair.

Magna Carta and peace

Many of the clauses towards the end of Magna Carta were practical arrangements for making peace. Rather than looking forward to how the king was to behave in the future, these clauses sought to put right the wrongs done by King John.

The king was immediately to return all hostages, to remove all foreign knights and mercenaries from England, to remit all fines exacted unjustly, and to restore lands, castles and liberties to all who had been wrongfully deprived of them. These clauses were not statements of legal principle, but they were a part of the peace-making process.

All the others are not true as King John had no choice at all.

Perhaps the most radical clause in Magna Carta was the 61st, which set up an elected commission of 25 barons to monitor the king’s compliance with the settlement and to enforce its terms. The 25 barons had the power to seize the king’s property in order to seek redress if he failed to keep the terms imposed on him. This innovative clause demonstrated the power invested in Magna Carta to limit royal authority
