What rights were protected by Justinian’s Code?

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!

Mark the statement if it accurately describes European history and geography.
nlexa [21]

The correct answer is letter C

The invasion force would have approximately 67,000 men, including landing troops and parachutists. The command of operations was the responsibility of Admiral Erich Raeder, commander of Kriegsmarine. Training started in the second half of 1940 at the port of Boulogne. The starting date for the launch of Seeöwer was September of that year. In the initial planning, the targets would be the region between Dorset and Kent. Thanks to Lutfwaffe's inability to achieve air superiority, Operation had its first postponement to October and later to the summer of 1941, when the focus of the war shifted to Operation Barbarossa.

Operation Sealion never got off the ground. If it had become a reality, the Second World War would surely be prolonged or even have its result altered. What we know today is that there was a List, which would accompany the SS occupation troops, with the names of personalities who were to be arrested and killed in the event of a full occupation by the Germans. This list, known in the post-war era and dubbed the Black Book, contained names of people like Churchill, Chamberlain, Bernard Shaw, Noël Pierce Coward, among others.
