What argument in favor of the 26 amendment was considered crucial to its quick ratification

History
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
7 0

The 26th amendment was one that gave citizens who are 18 years or older the right to vote. One of the reasons behind its quick ratification was the Vietnam War. Considering that the law was passed officially in 1971, this was a time in which millions of American men were currently stationed in Vietnam or had served in this country during the Vietnam War. Many soldiers and citizens felt that it was unfair that these 18-20 year old men were drafted and forced to serve in the military despite not having any control over who is running the country. This was one of the jusitifications behind changing the voting age from 21 to 18.

Which two of the following are notable achievements of the Maya?
BARSIC [14]

creating a hieroglyphic writing system

inventing an accurate calendar system

The Maya were a pre-Columbian people who inhabited the region of Mesoamerica (present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, etc.). They peaked during the period from 250 AD to 900 AD, known as the Classic Period. The Maya are known to have had one of the most sophisticated pre-Columbian civilizations. In addition, they developed large cities and had advanced knowledge in areas such as mathematics. After 900 A.D., the Maya went into decline, and their cities emptied out.

The Maya became well known for having very advanced knowledge in areas such as Astronomy and Mathematics. In the religious field, the Maya were polytheists, that is, they believed in several gods and had human sacrifice as a very important ritualistic practice. These sacrifices were also of considerable political importance to these people.

Politically, they were organized in city-states, which means that the Maya never formed an empire with consolidated borders. The power of kings extended, exclusively, over the domains of their cities and satellite cities, if any. They survived from agriculture, and their main food was corn.

Frank Palko thought the Fifth Amendment ban on double jeopardy applied to his case because he was tried for first degree murder.
amm1812

Answer:

he was tried twice for the same crime.

Explanation:

Double jeopardy clause occurs when a person is put on trial for an offense of which he has already been put on trial before. United States Constitution, states that no <em><u>"person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..."</u></em>

This can only apply if the accused has already gotten a valid acquittal from a law court or conviction within the same jurisdiction. If this occurs, then the government or prosecutor cannot retry the accused/defendant.

Therefore, Frank Palko believed that double jeopardy would apply in his case because he was tried twice for the same crime.

Shared Spiritual Riches and Commonalities

A number of significant commonalities are shared among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam:

<span><span>Monotheism. All three religions worship one God, although Jews and Muslims sometimes criticize the common Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity as polytheistic. Indeed, there exists among their followers a general understanding that they worship the same one God.</span><span>A prophetic tradition. All three religions recognize figures called "prophets," though their lists differ, as do their interpretations of the prophetic role.</span></span><span>Semitic origins. Judaism and Islam originated among Semitic peoples – namely the Jews and Arabs, respectively – while Christianity arose out of Judaism.</span>A basis in divine revelation rather than, for example, philosophical speculation or custom.<span>An ethical orientation. All three religions speak of a choice between good and evil, which is conflated with obedience or disobedience to God.</span><span>A linear concept of history, beginning with the Creation and the concept that God works through history.</span><span>Association with the desert, which some commentators believe has imbued these religions with a particular ethos.</span><span>Devotion to the traditions found in the Bible and the Qur'an, such as the stories of Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses.</span>
