What is karma? (Ancient India)

Karma is the Sanskrit word for "action" or "doing something." It comes from an earlier Indo-European word meaning "to make" or "to do". The idea of karma in the Indian religion of Hinduism was that whenever you did anything, it affected your future life, and especially your reincarnation.According to Hindu ideas of karma, if you did something good, especially something for other people, you got good karma and this would help you in the future. For instance, if you helped a friend to understand the assignment, you would pile up some good karma that might make sure the teacher asked you only questions to which you knew the answers. On the other hand, if you did something bad, like killing a spider, you would get bad karma, and maybe when you fell down you would scrape your knee. Americans sometimes say, "What goes around comes around."In Hinduism, people saw your karma as something given to you by the gods, who decided everything that happened. In Buddhism, though, the gods were left out of it, and karma just happened naturally: good deeds lead to good results, just as apple seeds lead to apple trees. In fact, the whole idea of karma - that it matters whether you are good or bad - may not go back much before the beginnings of Buddhism, maybe about 500 BC. Karma may be an idea that came to India from other cultures, maybe from Chinese Taoists or Buddhists, who were beginning to visit India at this time as the Silk Road got started.

Which of the following BEST describes if loose constructionism
KIM [24]

An expansive understanding of powers granted to the federal government best describes if loose constructionism.

Loose Constructionism is the judicial philosophy whereby the constitution is interpreted loosely, typically analyzing between the lines, to extract a that means. When practicing loose constructionism, justices will take an difficulty and look at the context of it, and then on the constitution. Justices that are described as free constructionists tend to favour Federal government power over that of states strength and rights. They tend to be labelled as liberals.The notion that the charter must be interpreted on this way originates from the concept that when writing the constitution, it was left deliberately vague so that it can be interpreted on this manner, to allow it to be flexible. In addition to this is the belief that the Founding Fathers might not have known how the modern world could have looked, so wanted the charter to be interpreted in the present day.
