Answer:

because then the Bill of Rights would cover both state and federal law

Explanation:

In United States law, the Establishment Clause[1] of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, together with that Amendment's Free Exercise Clause, form the constitutional right of freedom of religion. The relevant constitutional text is:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

The Establishment Clause acts as a double security, for its aim is as well the prevention of religious control over government as the prevention of political control over religion.[2] Under it the federal government of the United States as well as the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion.[2]

The clause was based on a number of precedents, including the Constitutions of Clarendon, the Bill of Rights 1689, and the Pennsylvania and New Jersey colonial constitutions. An initial draft by John Dickinson was prepared in conjunction with his drafting the Articles of Confederation. In 1789, then-congressman James Madison prepared another draft which, following discussion and debate in the First Congress, would become part of the text of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. The second half of the Establishment Clause includes the Free Exercise Clause, which allows individual citizens freedom from governmental interference in both private and public religious affairs.

Why did the united states enter the war in its last years after remaining neutral at the outset?
LekaFEV [45]

On December 11, 1941, the United States entered World War II. Mobilization began on December 8, 1941, when the United States declared war on Japan, one day after the Pearl Harbor assaults.

  • The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor prompted the United States of America to enter World War II. However, prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States took an indirect role in the war by selling munitions with Allied countries such as Britain. President Franklin D. Roosevelt perceived Nazi Germany as a threat to the United States and believed that arming the Allied democracies in Europe was important.
  • The United States began the war neutral, but ideologically supported the Allies. Although Congress did not initially approve military force against the Axis, the passage of the Lend-Lease Act was the first step toward entering World War II. While transporting Lend-Lease supplies to the Allies, the USS Greer was assaulted by Germans, prompting President Roosevelt to declare a shoot-on-sight policy.
  • The real, direct military engagement began only after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese provocation prompted Congress to vote virtually overwhelmingly to declare war on Japan. Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany, declared war on the United States shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. These events resulted in America's direct military involvement in both the European and Pacific theaters, finally leading to the Axis countries' demise.

Please help this is a 100 point assignment!

Answer: [WORK IN PROGRESS]

Part A: [Based on Description]

The event that is shown in the painting reflects the fall of the Byzantine Empire because in this picture, it shows that the tall castle is surrounded by many soldiers. There is also many more soldiers waiting to attack when necessary on the boat. The soldiers waiting to attack have bows, swords, and/or shields, which means they are prepared to attack and block any attacks that come against them. You can see that some soldiers are using ladders to scale up the tower with defenders at the top waiting for them. The defenders are outnumbered by the amount of soldiers already climbing up the tower, soldiers on the ground, and soldiers on the boat. The defenders only have swords and daggers and possibly won't be ready for when the attackers start shooting their bows at them as they would not have the shields to block them.

Part B:

1. His constant wars and rebuilding of the Constantinople Cause financial problems. Justinian had scattered the Byzantine army across the empire. The empire suffered from several attacks of bubonic plague, which caused a severe shortage of human power, which weakened both the military and the government.

2. The location of the Byzantine Empire made it appealing to other places, meaning that the empire had to defend itself constantly as numerous people were attacking it so that they can get a piece of the territory. The armies that invaded the empire includes the Bulgars, the Muslim Caliphates, the Turkic People, the Mongols and the Ottomans. After each fight, the empire struggles more to keep up with the fights and have enough money to restock and resupply what they have.
