Answer:

1.The Georgia Constitution gives some limits as to how arms can be borne by the people—the US Constitution does not state this explicitly. The Georgia Constitution also states how many people can sit on a jury (twelve); the US Constitution only gives one the right to a trial by jury.

2.The state government of Georgia is the U.S. state governmental body established by the Georgia State Constitution. It is a republican form of government with three branches : the legislature, executive, and judiciary.

3. Georgia legislators split the difference when they toughened juvenile justice laws in 1994. They stiffened sentences for the most violent crimes, sending some teens to adult prisons. But lawmakers also gave courts discretion to keep some of the serious offenders in the state’s juvenile facilities.

4. Unfortunately, the legislative foundation for local government in Georgia is underdeveloped and

often self-contradictory due to frequent amendment. For instance, the Law on the Structure and

Operation of Executive Power has been amended twice since its adoption in 1990. Furthermore,

several essential areas lack any legislative basis; key fields such as regional organization and the office

of regional state commissioner are determined by presidential decree, not parliamentary legislation.

The 1995 Constitution failed to stipulate a model for administrative-territorial organization. Instead,

its second clause postpones settlement of the issue until restoration of the country’s territorial integrity.

Meanwhile, the system of local government is determined by the Organic Law on Local Government

and Self-governance, adopted in October 1997. Despite many juridical flaws, this law provided the

basis for the development of a relatively efficient system of self-government. The Organic Law on

Local Government superceded several contradictory normative laws passed between 199

You have looked at the 4 contenders for the throne of England in 1066 following the death of Edward the Confesser.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066. He had no children. Three men wanted to be king of England. Each man thought he had the best claim to the throne. The next king of England would have to win it in a war. Who do you think had the best claim to the throne?

Explanation:

Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex

Harold was a powerful and rich English nobleman. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward named Godwinson as his successor on his deathbed. The next day, the royal council, known as the Witan, met and declared Godwinson king. An English king was proclaimed by the Witan - this gave Harold Godwinson the only claim to the throne by right.

William, Duke of Normandy

The Norman chroniclers reported that Edward had promised his distant relative, William, the throne in 1051. William was the only blood relative of Edward, but the English throne was not hereditary anyway. Claims that Edward promised the throne were probably made up by the rival sides after the event. The Bayeux Tapestry, which was made after the Conquest, shows Godwinson swearing an oath of support to William in a visit to Normandy in 1064. William was supported by the Pope.

Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, Viking warrior

Hardrada based his claim on the fact that his ancestor, King Cnut, had once ruled England (1016‒1035). He was helped by Godwinson's half-brother, Tostig.
