Why was Roe v. Wade a controversial case

History
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago
4 0

It was controversial mainly for two reasons: Because it involved the abortion attempt of a young woman who was a physical and emotions abuse victim, who had also lied to authorities in Texas in order to get a legal abortion. Public opinion was largely divided on the issue. Conservatives blamed the woman and Democrats blamed the existing laws that prevented women from aborting.

The second reason was judicial: many people considered that the Constitution was being misinterpreted to adjust to shifting social mores. For these dissenters, there was no legal justification of any kind to authorize abortion as a Constitutional right.

Why did the King of England make the pronouncement of the "Proclamation Line of 1763?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Proclamation Line of 1763 was meant to stabilize relations with native North Americans.

Explanation:

The 1763 Proclamation Line was a British measure following the French and Indian War by declaring the boundary of the Eastern Continental Divide in the Appalachian Mountains which prevented Anglo-American colonists from western expansion. It was a protective measure to avoid conflict with the native Indian tribes and french colonists which could have lead to another expensive war. Moreover, the British Government expressed concern that western expansion would provide opportunities for colonies to gain economic independence.

What accusation does Luther level at the pope, cardinals, and bishops?
Usimov [2.4K]

The correct answer is letter C

Luther was disappointed by what he saw in Rome. Observing the discussions he started to see the clergyman as incompetent, petulant and cynical. The experience made Luther question the Catholic Church.

The doubts continued to germinate in the following years. Using his experience in Bible studies, he proceeded to outline his own interpretation of the Bible. This view diverged from some Catholic maxims.

He went on to say in his sermons at Wittenberg that priests had no power to grant forgiveness. For Luther, forgiveness came from within and no one would be able to bestow it on someone else, be it a priest or a pope. This contradicted the view of the Catholic Church.

Luther also began to reject indulgence, a practice in which a wealthy person sold part of his merits, especially in the form of payment to the church, to save another of dubious faith. He also doubted that the pope would be able to remove a person's soul from purgatory if one of his living relatives paid.

How did Belgian imperialism in Africa differ from British imperialism
marissa [1.9K]

The Belgium had two colonies in Africa, the massive Belgian Congo (now Congo) and Ruanda-Urundi (now countries of Rwanda and Burundi), and that’s it. Compare that to the Brits that had colonies in nearly all continents. Compared to the British, Belgian rule on its colonies was harsh. The Belgians extracted resources from its colonies nearly at gunpoint (especially in Congo) to build magnificent public infrastructure in the mother country, while doing little to educate native Africans in the colonies.The British retained traditional leaders and gave them power with colonial oversight, and established schools on its colonies.
