In what way did the Half-Way Covenant reflect the changes that were sweeping across New England at this time?

History

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The Half-Way Covenant was created to provide a solution to the ever growing problem of how to regulate political participation and rights in a society that was based firmly on religion.

Explanation:

The New England Congregationalists in the 17th century, also known as the Puritans, had very strict rules regarding requirements for partaking in political positions and roles. One of the basic premises was that each citizen was accepted as long as they gave evidence of a “conversion experience”. This spiritual testimony was not questioned at first but as time passed and new generations grew up with different opinions on God, religion and society then the church had to be more flexible and adjust to this new mindset without forgetting God or the importance of the church as an institution.

This “Half-Way Covenent” reflected this new flexibility and adjustment, letting children of baptized but unconverted church members to be baptized and now have political rights and also become members of the church.

Passed in 1992, the 27th Amendment prevents Congress from raising its pay during the same term . What is unusual about this amen
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The 27th Amendment to the Constitution was first proposed in 1789 by the 1st Congress to the state to be ratified. It was proposed with other 10 amendments to the Constitution but lacking the number of votes necessary, it did not pass like its others sister amendments to become what is today known as the Bill of Rights. It took about more than 200 years until 1992, after a campaign was started by University of Texas at Austin student Joe Watson in 1982. This amendment prohibited the increase or decrease of a congressman´s salary within a term in office. If there is to be a reduction or increment in the income perceived by a congress member, this must take effect only until the following terms office. (The answer is that it was first proposed more than 200 years before it was ratified).
