Puritanism influenced New England mostly socially and politically, although there were some economic effects of puritanism including a low spending on things deemed a luxury, but these effects were quite small compared to others. Politically, Puritanism influenced an entire generation of theocracy in the New England area, with elected officials of towns--if any--not having nearly as much power as the church. Also, Puritanism led to a broad movement of conversion through the use of fear tactics as seen by many preachers who placed focus on the anger of God with humanity. Socially, these preachers converted whole villages to Puritanism by making them fear God, and thus follow His example through hard work on the field. The Salem Witch Trials are another example of the social effects of Puritanism. Many innocent people were hung by the theocratic way of government seen in New England, as well as social pressures from the highly fearful public. Here's a more organized explanation.

Social:

Use of fear tactics for conversion.

  • Angry God.
  • Work hard and you may go to heaven. (no one knows if they're going to heaven or not, even if they work hard and are upstanding citizens)

Suppress Earthly desire (leechery, alcoholism, ill-intent)

  • Salem Witch Trials can be seen as an effect of this.

Hate for Catholicism

  • Catholics committed genocide on any Puritans, causing a massive immigration to America.

Political:

Theocratic government.

  • Church at the top. Few actual leaders other than church.

Economic:

No consumerism

  • Puritans felt no need for "fun," and placed focus on work, and if not that, reading the Bible and going to church.

Focus on agriculture.

  • Not entirely a cause, but somewhat.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is <u><em>Alexander the Great</em></u>

The Middle East first was influenced by Europe during the military campaigns of <em><u>Alexander the Great.</u></em>

Explanation:

Alexander the Great had the idea to spread the Greek culture (also called Hellenism) to other locations. His empire was built under this philosophy, which is that all the cultures are important and can live in peace. In the Middle East, he introduced the Greek culture, and built libraries and tried to diffuse the Hellenism in that region, not only in culture but also in politics.

The Equal Rights Amendment ______.
serious [3.7K]

Correct answer:

<h2>B. Was never ratified</h2>

History/details:

The Equal Rights Amendment, formulated as early as 1923 by the National Women's Party, proposed that "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." Feminist groups in the 1960s and 1970s, such as the National Organization for Women, finally succeeded in getting Congress to pass the Equal Rights Amendment as a proposed addition to the US Constitution. It was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification in 1972.

The National Organization for Women continued to be a leading voice in pushing for ratification for the amendment. However, conservative groups, especially led by a woman named Phyllis Schlafly, campaigned against ratification. A key point Schlafly focused on was that women would then be subject to military draft and military combat service in the same way as men. This became the key issue and the Equal Rights Amendment failed to achieve the necessary number of states supporting ratification.
