I believe the answer is “to seek religious freedom”.
In Ancient Greece, city states were independent and often in competition with one another so they had different gods and goddesses as their representatives.
Explanation:
The gods and goddesses of the Ancient Greeks had human qualities and vices.
So, when the city states came into their own as power states in Greece, while retaining their religion common among each other, they adopted their own city gods that represented what their city stood for the better way.
Thebes' god was the god of wine and theater, showing the status of the city as the cultural capital for a long time. Similarly, Sparta was the city of the God of war, and they were a military society.
Correct answer: C. The 2001 terrorist attacks in New York.
Details:
The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:
- (A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
- (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism;
- (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States;
Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict illegal drug trafficking."
The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies in order to achieve its security goals. According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."
Note:
Another act passed after the 9-11 attacks, aimed at combating terrorism by whatever means deemed necessary for national security, was the PATRIOT Act. The full name of the act was the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.
Answer:
The adoption of the Declaration of Independence of 1776 entailed the need to establish regional governments. Separation from the mother country meant that the North American territories were no longer colonies of the British Empire, but became independent states. Already in the early stages of the development of the self-determination process, a conflict with Great Britain became apparent. The revolutionary movement had previously intended to break with Britain as a whole, and it was imperative to establish some form of legitimate government. The main efforts were initially aimed at ignoring the power of the royal governors. Provincial congresses or committees formed in various ways sought to go their own way with the adoption of their own constitutions.
Speaking about the prerequisites for the adoption of the constitutions of the colonies and the future federal constitution, it should also be noted that the constitution, being the main law of the state, reflects the most important patterns of the development of society.
The constituent parts of the preamble of the constitutions were bill of rights, or a declaration of rights, which contained a list of bourgeois-democratic rights and freedoms, as well as guarantees of the inviolability of the person (freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, right to a speedy and impartial jury trial, the right not to give evidence against self).
The legal and political ideas and views of prominent revolutionaries such as Payne, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson served as an important prerequisite for the adoption of the constitutions of the colonies and the federation. It is no coincidence that in the period preceding the US Declaration of Independence, many European legal ideas experienced a rebirth in the New World. So, on the eve of the creation of an independent North American state, in 1775, the famous lawyer, enlightener, future second US president John Adams argued that the purpose of the constitution was “the creation of a government of laws, not of people,” that is, a power based on impartial rules and regulations and not on the prejudices or preferences inherent in man.
