Answer:

It is believed that Halloween is a pagan ritual derived from pre-Christian festivals celebrated by druids, which the church could not eradicate. In the modern world, many celebrate this holiday, knowing very little about it. In fact, Halloween has Christian roots. The holiday falls on October 31 thanks to the pope.

The historian Nicholas Rogers, who studied the origins of Halloween, noted that, despite attempts to connect its origin with the ancient Roman festival of Parentals, which was celebrated on February 13-21, the prototype of Halloween, most likely, originated only with the advent of the Celtic pagan festival Samhain. Samhain was a holiday for all the peoples of the British Isles and was strongly associated with death and the supernatural. At the same time, there is no evidence that in pagan times the holiday had any special significance, except for agricultural and seasonal. In 601, Pope Gregory I instructed the missionaries not to fight pagan holidays, but to convert them to Christian ones - according to his plan, this should contribute to the Christianization of Northern Europe. By the 8th century, Samhain became the Day of All Souls and the Day of All Saints (November 1), in which it was considered acceptable from the point of view of religion to speak with the dead.

Montesquieu came up with separation of power - how did james madison use his theory to create our government structure
lys-0071 [83]
Madison understood that power can corrupt as seen with the kings of their time. So Madison set up the form of government that relies on separate branches of government that operates under checks and balances. This means that no one branch can get too powerful and overrule the other branches. We see this in modern government in the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Madison improved upon the idea that power cannot be held by one man or a few people.

nydimaria [60]

Gorbachev pursued glasnost and perestroika reforms in part because the war in Afghanistan had drained the nation's resources. Mikhail Gorbachev, as known as the former General Secretary of the Soviet Union (Russia), noticed that there has been a huge decrease in their resources. They were fighting a war in Afghanistan, and used all of the nation's resources to help them win the war. Since they used most of their resources, they didn't have much to help the economy, so if they don't get enough resources back, the economy would fail. Because of this Gorbachev made a movement called "perestroika" to help get back the nation's resources. What this movement did was let the government speaker, or have a conversation, about the issues that are going on in the economy, and see if there could be a way to solve it.
