<h2>A. The Torah</h2>

-- from the Jewish Scriptures  (which Christians refer to as the Old Testament).

Further details:

The ancient Hebrew Bible began with the "Torah," that is, "The Law," which was given through the leader of Israel, Moses.  Most of us are familiar with the Ten Commandments as given to Israel through Moses.  Those famous "Ten Commandments" are essentially a concise summary of God's moral law for his people.  The religion of Judaism was built on moral commands and human beings' ethical obligation to obey them.  In fact, beyond those major summaries of God's law in the Ten Commandments, the Jewish rabbis counted a total of 613 commands given in the Torah (the books of Moses).

Many legal systems have looked to the basic ethical foundation of law in the Jewish Scriptures.  The examples cited in the question include things specific to Jewish religion, however.  Making thievery (stealing) a punishable offense would be a basic moral principle.   Outlawing polytheism and work on the Sabbath would be specific religious views of Judaism.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The Soviet states declared independence.

The Soviet Union collapsed.

Explanation:

On August 19, 1991, at 06.00 Moscow time, a statement was read on the radio that USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev could no longer perform his duties due to illness and that the State Committee for Emergency was taking over power. Swan Lake was aired on television screens, as when Leonid Brezhnev died and in long emergencies. The coup d'etat actually started on the 17th of August by  the members of KGB.

The last step in the collapse of the Soviet Union occurred in December 1991, when Ukrainians voted overwhelmingly to secede from the Soviet Union. On December 8, 1991, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus jointly signed an agreement in Minsk on the official end of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
