This verse means that if there is something in a person's life that causes the person to sin or sway from the will of God, the person should let it go, even if it seems difficult. The difficulty or the pain in letting go of that sin is what is compared to gouging the eye out and throwing it away. It will be very painful to gouge out your eye. So it is better to let go of that sin which is so pleasing, suffer on earth for a short time and enjoy in heaven eternally than to stay in that sin, enjoy on earth for a short time and burn in hell eternally.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

c.a trial by a jury of one’s peers and double jeopardy

Explanation:

The two elements of the United States’s legal system that can be traced to Roman law is "a trial by a jury of one’s peers and double jeopardy."

This is evident in the fact that in the Roman republic, the trial by a jury of one's peers is well established whereby citizens are judged by their fellow citizens rather than the Emperor or King.

Also, double jeopardy is established in roman law that a person declared acquittal by a judge in a criminal case is exempted from further proceedings under the same charges.

Why does Atlas beg Perseus to show him Medusa's head?
maksim [4K]

Some of the Roman writers tried to rationalize the story of Atlas holding up the sky by equating Atlas to mountains — specifically, the Atlas Mountains. They accomplish this using Medusa’s head.

The gist of the tale is that Perseus passed near Atlas’ location — at the far west of the known world (i.e. continental Europe and Northern Africa) — after slaying Medusa and asked for lodging and protection for the night. Atlas was rude and demanded Perseus to leave, prompting Perseus to expose the Titan to Medusa’s head and turn him into the mountain range. At no point, at least in any source that I know of, did Atlas explicitly ask to be turned to stone.
