4 0

Jefferson had an awkward courtship with Rebecca Burwell, a 16-year-old girl, who declined Jefferson's marriage proposal, and his unwelcome advances towards the wife of a boyhood friend. It resulted in Jefferson putting flowers in his room to wilt all night. Instead, Rebecca Burwell married Jacquelin Ambler, which made her the mother-in-law of the United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who wrote the famous Marbury vs. Madison decision which was a criticism on President Jefferson.

In a brief essay, explain three ways in which the Roman Catholic Church responded to the spread of Protestantism in the sixteent
nexus9112 [7]

Religious orders were formed that aimed to build allegiance to Rome and the papacy, and to educate people in Catholic teaching.  The Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits for short, was a key order of this sort.  The order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, along with Francis Xavier and several others.  

The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church. For instance, the Council of Trent put a stop to the selling of indulgences. But more than anything, the meeting of Roman Catholic church leaders reasserted the full authority of Roman power and doctrine in opposition to the Protestant threat.  The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563.  

 

The Roman Inquisition was founded in 1542 to act as an investigative body regarding threats to Rome's teachings.  About a century later, Galileo would be one of the most famous persons tried by the Roman Inquisition. The efforts of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century have continued to impact both Catholicism and Protestantism. Faithful Catholics see the "Catholic Reformation" (which included the items described above) as a healthy resurgence of Rome's spiritual authority. Protestants have tended to see Rome's efforts as oppressive, convincing them that breaking off relationships with Rome was the right thing to do. There have been some efforts in recent history to build ecumenical ties between Catholics and Protestants, but mostly the two sides have continued to pursue their separate missions apart from one another.

In conclusion, The Roman Catholic Church responded to the spread of Protestantism in the 16th century in several ways, intending to strengthen its own stance and its hold on church power.

A monopoly increases a corporation's profits by
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D is almost the precise definition of what a monopoly is. It eliminates all competition so that it can control prices.

A: not the answer. It can allow labor unions. It is more concerned about the competition.

B: It probably does use mass production, but this is not the answer. Mass production will help lower costs, but that is not its main feature.

C: The refutation is more like B. It helps lower costs, but that is not what a monopoly does. See the answer to D.

Describe John Lewis's view on America, then determine if it is strange for someone like him who experienced what he experienced
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” That’s the revelatory title of a speech that black statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass delivered July 5, 1852, in Rochester, N.Y.

It is an oration that students should learn along with the history of how the Continental Congress, meeting July 2, 1776, in Philadelphia, declared independence from Britain and then on July 4 approved the document stating the reasons for the action.

Five things you think you know about July 4 that are (mostly) wrong

Douglass delivered the speech in Corinthian Hall to white members of the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. He expressed respect for the country’s Founding Fathers, calling them “brave” and “truly great.” He compared the way they were treated by the British before independence to the treatment of slaves and urged them to view slaves as Americans.

(You may remember that on Feb. 1, 2017, President Trump made comments to honor Black History Month and spoke about Douglass as if he were still alive: “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.” Presumably, someone has told Trump by now that Douglass is long gone, although his work has always been appreciated.)
