Jacob's Staff was invented in the 13th century as an aid in finding heights and distances. It was not until the 15th century that the German scientist Johannes Mueller popularized the instrument.


This was the age when the Europeans began exploring beyond the Mediterranean Sea. They needed better navigation tools so they could more accurately determine their latitude and longitude, and not run into too many rocks.


Jacob's Staff was shaped like a cross-bow. It had a main rod with a scale, and several cross pieces which were used to determine angles, either from the horizontal looking up (the "angle of elevation"), or perhaps between 2 objects.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

This question is really geared more towards your own interpretation, so there isn't necessarily going to be a right or wrong answer. I would say that today the first amendment protects when people are speaking out against policies and general injustices in the American society today, and for instance, on social media I have seen people say "f trump and f america." The first amendment is protecting them, so that nobody can hold that statement against them and press charges. If we lived in russia, the russian secret police would find you, and kill you for that. Personally, I believe that if someone wanted to burn an american flag on their front lawn, and curse america, they should not be protected by the first amendment. that should be a crime. However, the first amendment does protect them, so there is nothing anyone could do about that legally.
