The correct answer is: "The crèche depicts the origins of Christmas but does not promote religion".

According to Chief Justice Burger, placing a creche in a public space in Christmas times does not necessarily promote the Christian religion and, in turn, it does not violate the constitutional ban against any estaliblished religion in the US.

Christmas holidays take place every year, and more than a religious festivity they are connected to tradition and to a long usage. The creche serves a secular purpouse during the Christmas season, as it could be the case of any museum setting, because <u>the religious content is present on the display but such content does not involve any form of persuassion or promotion. </u>

Explanation:

Let's know better each explorer. It's important to know their names and accomplishments.

<u>Francis Drake (1540 - 1596)</u>

<u></u>

Francis Drake was an English explorer. Queen Elizabeth sent Drake to South America as part of England try to stand out itself from Portugal and Spanish on their empires. At the time Drake arrived in South America, that place was under control of the Iberian empires (Portugal and Spain). He returned to England via the Pacific, and it was honored by Queen Elizabeth for his victories.  The nickname English Sea Dog was given to him, alongside his mate Richard Hawking, as part of their victory against the Spanish Armada in 1588. The battle was influenced by the English support to the independence of Dutch from Spain, and an attempt of Spain to destroy the English emergent commercial trades in the Atlantic.

<u>Vasco de Balboa (1475 - 1519)</u>

Vasco de Balboa was a Spanish explorer. He made many alliances with the natives during his explorations in the new world. These alliances led him, in 1513, to discover the Pacific Ocean (or Mar del Sul, as he named). The arrival at the Pacific Ocean was made crossing the Isthmus of Panama.

<u>Ferdinand de Magellan (1480 - 1521)</u>

Ferdinand de Magellan was a Portuguese sailor. His proposal to reach India through a new route by the Pacific was refused by Portugal. At that time, the Portuguese empire was strong enough to refuse this proposition with its recent discoveries (especially Brazil in 1500). Anyway, Magellan was commissioned by King Charles I from Spain to do his attempt to reach India through Asia using the Pacific as a route. If Magellan would accomplish this attempt, Spain would obtain a valuable route and could confront Portugal in trade. His expedition was able to accomplish this attempt, but Magellan died in 1521.

<u>Jacques Cartier (1491 - 1557)</u>

Jacques Cartier was a French explorer. Cartier was commissioned by King Francis I of France to explorer the northern parts of North America. His idea was to found a passage to Asia. France, just like England, was trying to surpass Portugal and Spain looking for new lands and trade routes. In 1534, during his explorations, Cartier found the St. Lawerence River, and he was the first to explorer it.

<u>Samuel de Champlain (1567 - 1635)</u>

Samuel de Champlain led the first French settlement in 1608. However, we have to explain this statement. Jacques Cartier tried to create a settlement in 1541, during his explorations of the St. Lawrence River, but the settlement was abandoned due to the bad weather, diseases and other bad aspects.

<u>Jacques Marquette (1637 - 1675)</u>

Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit explorer. He is best known for his traveling trough the Mississipi river.

These were all causes of the Revolutionary War except.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<u><em>A. Toleration of Act of 1649</em></u>

Explanation:

Remember the Boston Massacre just fired them all of for the fact that British soldiers killed American citizens. Taxation without representation was the biggest one of them all because, that was the entire reason why the US wanted to become independent from the British. Coercive Acts were the acts were British soldiers had to be quartered in the American's homes and Tea acts and etc. Therefore, the only answer would be A. (I don't even know what Act A is.....) All I know is that B, C, and D are all reasons for the Revolutionary War. Pretty famous reasons too.
