What rights were protected by Justinian’s Code?

History
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago

In the United States, we have a very important document called the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is a list of rights that everyone enjoys. These laws were written down a long time ago, when our country was first formed, so that everyone would know their rights. This document was saved and protected, so that all citizens today and in the future would enjoy the same rights. Over the years, new rights have been added to the list. These new rights are called Amendments. One of the added amendments freed the slaves. Another gave American women the right to vote. These are important rights. They also have been written down, saved, and protected. The same was true with Justinian's Code. Emperor Justinian wanted to save in writing all the laws that began in ancient Rome. Those laws were called the Twelve Tables. He collected up all the old laws, and added new ones that gave his people even more rights. One of the laws in Justinian's Code stated that a person was innocent until proven guilty. Can you think of any country today that has this same law? Well, sure - we do! Many countries do, including the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, and others. It is not easy to write laws that are fair for everyone. Our founding fathers did a great job with the Bill of Rights, but then they some great teachers, one of which was Justinian! Justinian wrote laws that were fair for everyone because he thought about the needs of all the people. He did such a good job way back in 500 CE that new and existing governments still refer to his laws as guides when creating laws for their own countries today!

Were colonies useful mostly because they provided a ready market for manufactured goods?
Oksanka [162]
No. European countries wanted colonies because they wanted to gain more wealth. Gold and silver from the colonies made the countries richer. Another reason was for the raw materials that they needed for their factories. Getting raw materials from the colonies was much cheaper than buying from other countries. One more reason was the desire for land and power. Having colonies made replenishing  supplies easier and in case of war, the colonies could be used as military bases.

Describe one key action that delegates took in every three categories listed
san4es73 [151]
This depends on what day & time

For example, we will use the Cold War:
1. About Money: The US funded many projects & countries with money, equipment, supplies, & resources, to try to help rebuild/ build up their countries, while trying to stop communism from spreading it's control over those same countries. The USSR also tried to gain control of territories by taking them over militarily, or sending resources & setting up Communist governments that supported the USSR. This usually costed a lot of money, & sometimes put strain to their economy (especially for the USSR's)
2. About Mail: The US used censors during the Cold War, and tried to find communist sympathizers and communist spies that were located inside the US. They would read people's mails to find out if they were pro-communist, and take decisive action depending on what it was. 
3. About the Military: Both sides supplied military & logistical needs to their allies, as seen in the Korean, Vietnam, Bay of Pigs Invasion, etc wars. Take for example the Korean war. The US & the NATO sent support to help stem off the Communist onslaught, & today they are still split. (this is technically a success, because this was their first objective anyways). Another example is the Vietnam War. With the knowledge of terrain, support from China & the USSR, the Viet Cong was able to defeat the US, as the US soldiers were unfamiliar with the area, and the support for the war was growing cold. As seen in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the US & USSR did not intervene directly. The USSR trained & supplied Fidel Castro, while the US used the CIA to train the exiled people to try to topple Castro's government. This failed, & was a win for the USSR.

These are the examples during the Cold War for the 3 points
