I think D is the best answer choice. for a work written around the time of the salem witch trials, you can better understand why extreme fear and condemnation of witchcraft might show up, and the author's purpose is a major thing to understand a work. C doesn't really make sense, because historical context is based on facts, so the context doesn't so much help you understand an author's attitude/opinion. B is true to some degree, but D is still a stronger answer as B is somewhat circular; historical context is an inherent part of a historical character? and A doesn't even make sense to me but i personally would go with D

What did Chavez believe about the rights of humanity?
amm1812

Answer:

Mexican-American farmworker, labor leader and civil rights activist César Chávez brought about better conditions for agricultural workers. Born on his family’s farm near Yuma, Arizona, Chávez witnessed the harsh conditions farm laborers endured. Routinely exploited by their employers, they were often unpaid, living in shacks in exchange for their labor, with no medical or other basic facilities. Without a united voice, they had no means to improve their position. Chávez changed that when he dedicated his life to winning recognition for the rights of agricultural workers, inspiring and organizing them into the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers. Through marches, strikes and boycotts, Chávez forced employers to pay adequate wages and provide other benefits and was responsible for legislation enacting the first Bill of Rights for agricultural workers. For his commitment to social justice and his lifelong dedication to bettering the lives of others, Chávez was posthumously recognized with the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom

in the third sentence of the first paragraph, the author mentions society's ability to "execute its own mandates" primarily to​
marshall27 [118]

Like other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities. But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant—society collectively over the separate individuals who compose it—its means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate1 is not enough; there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development and, if possible, prevent the formation of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence; and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs as protection against political despotism.2

What these rules should be is the principal question in human affairs; but if we except a few of the most obvious cases, it is one of those which least progress has been made in resolving. No two ages, and scarcely any two countries, have decided it alike; and the decision of one age or country is a wonder to another. Yet the people of any given age and country no more suspect any difficulty in it than if it were a subject on which mankind had always been agreed. The rules which obtain among themselves appear to them self-evident and self-justifying. This all but universal illusion is one of the examples of the magical influence of custom, which is not only, as the proverb says, a second nature, but is continually mistaken for the first. The effect of custom, in preventing any misgiving respecting the rules of conduct which mankind impose on one another, is all the more complete because the subject is one on which it is not generally considered necessary that reasons should be given, either by one person to others, or by each to himself. People are accustomed to believe, and have been encouraged in the belief by some who aspire to the character of philosophers, that their feelings on subjects of this nature are better than reasons and render reasons unnecessary. The practical principle which guides them to their opinions on the regulation of human conduct is the feeling in each person’s mind that everybody should be required to act as he, and those with whom he sympathises, would like them to act.

In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the author mentions society’s ability to “execute its own mandates” primarily to

A) suggest that the tyranny of the majority is predominantly a political rather than a social phenomenon

B) encourage members of the general public to acknowledge the dangers posed by this ability

C) challenge the assumption that “reflecting persons” have greater insight into social ills than other members of society

D) introduce the primary conflict he sees a need to resolve

E) Clarify the nature of the subject matter he will discuss

Introduce the primary conflict he sees a need to resolve.

Answer: Option D.

According to Obama, what was the profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermons?
Valentin [98]

Answer: What he said, by his own words was "The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society, it’s that he spoke as if our society was static, as if no progress had been made, as if this country, a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black, Latino, Asian, rich, poor, young and old, is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past. What we know, what we have seen, is that America can change, that is the true genius of this nation." You can shorten this down how ever you want, this is just the smallest part that I thought was fully important.
