King John of England was so unpopular because he collected taxes, modernized the government, and exerted his power over the Church, Scotland and Ireland.
In short, the colonists really had not developed a sense of their identity and unity as Americans by the eve of the Revolution. Each state was considered a very different place from the state next door, and the only thing they really had in common was that they didn't like the British.
The three goals of public education are :

Luther's intention when posting the 95 Theses was to call the church back to doing what was right, rather than peddling indulgences as a way for people to make up for their sins.
Luther's 95 Theses are famous for starting the Reformation movement. But it would be good for you to know that several weeks before the famous 95 Theses, Luther had writted "A Disputation against Scholastic Theology," a set of 97 theses aimed at the core teachings of the Roman Catholic church's main theological scholars. This document didn't attract a lot of notice initially, because it was the sort of doctrinal debate university types would have with each other. But after the controversy got started and Luther was called upon by his brothers in the Augustinian order of monks to defend his theology, the theology he defended was his attack on scholasticism. At Heidelberg, in 1518, Luther spoke more fully about the central problem's of Rome's theological system. Luther's emphasis in both 1517 documents (and in his career overall) was on salvation by grace alone, which contradicted Rome's system that portrayed God giving rewards to the acts we do by our own wills.
Here is what each amendment does:
1) 6th amendment- This guarantees citizens the right to a public trial, the right to a lawyer, right to have a jury of their peers, and the right to know what charges are being put against you. All of these are imperative, as it gives each citizen equal treatment in the eyes of the law.
2) 7th amendment- This guarantees a right to a civil trial in any case in which the object in question is valued at over $20. In this case, there would be a jury. This ensures that any damage to a person's property may be ruled on in court.
3) 8th amendment- This protects citizens against excessive bail. This ensures that citizens are not held for an unfair amount of money. The crime dictates how much bail should be for the individual.
