There are several aspects of our modern life that originated in the Judaic faith. For example:

Judaism was the first monotheistic religion, and it gave rise to Christianity. As Christianity was the dominant religion over much of Europe, and Europe colonized such large territories, the effects of this can be felt almost anywhere in the world.
Judaism also created the idea of the weekend, through the concept of <em>Shabbat</em>, which is the day of the week in which no work is performed.
The Torah (the holy text of Judaism) is alone in the Ancient World in claiming that laws apply to everyone equally, regardless of class, race or social status. This concept is important in most codes of law everywhere in the world.

Judaism also remains visible and relevant in the modern world due to the practices of modern Jewish communities who still maintain their traditions alive.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Bill of Rights has, during the twentieth century gradually by incorporation, come to be accepted as national policy that applies to every level of government.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights of the United States is the collective name given to the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution approved on December 15, 1791.

It was a response to calm the fears of anti-federalist groups, some of them influential opponents of the Constitution, and prominent members of the Philadelphia Convention, who argued that it failed to defend the basic principles of human freedom. These amendments guarantee a series of personal freedoms, limit the power of government in judicial and other proceedings; and some powers are reserved to the states and the people. Originally the modifications applied only to the federal government, however, most were subsequently applied to the government of each state through the Fourteenth Amendment through a process known as incorporation.

1. What justifications did American revolutionaries have for declaring independence from Great Britain?

nignag [31]

The justification was based around the facts that the King of Britain was used to involving the colonies in his own wars and imposing laws without having representatives from the colonies in the British Parliament. John Locke's social contract was important because people believed that they should have what he defined as unalienable rights and that they should have consent of the governed.
