Answer:

- To discourage their return.

Explanation:

As one looks around, one can witness the diversity possessed by people not only in their food, language, or customs but also their beliefs and conviction.

According to the question, the societies or religions that believe in the supernatural tend to show faith in immaterial objects and beings like angels and spirits. Therefore, the reason(who believes in supernatural) behind the burning of the homes of the deceased after their death would be 'to discourage the return of the spirit' of deceased person. They believe that burning or discarding all their belongings or things that denote their existence would prevent the return of their spirit which they feel may possess a threat to them.

Why was an amendment to abolish slavery not ratified?
beks73 [17]

<u>Answer: </u>

The amendment to abolish slavery was not ratified for a long time because, in order to amend the Constitution, three-fourths of the states had to approve the amendment, and only fifty percent approved the amendment.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The states that roughly made up the northern half of the United States were mainly against the practice of slavery and wanted it to be abolished for once and forever.
  • On the other hand, the economy of the states in the southern United States depended on the production of cotton which was mainly carried out through slaves.
  • Hence, the states in the south continuously opposed the abolition of slavery and that alone became the reason to not secure the support of three-fourths of the states.
