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!

Which of the following characterizes child labor in the 1800s?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Children performed physical labor for long hours each day.

Explanation:

Most people who worked in the 1800s in the industry could not earn enough money to support a family. They would work long hours, usually 10-12 hours a day, six to seven days a week. To support the family their kids would also join the workforce. Kids were used to selling newspapers or work with machines since they could get into tight spaces a lot easier than adults. They did not have time for school.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

I learned this not too long ago too!

I think the answer you are looking for is parallax. Hipparchus used parallax to not only measure the distance from the sun, but also the moon. Although he was off my a couple hundred yards or so he actually measured the moon before the sun.
