He worked as attorney general from in Pennsylvania from 1717 and 1724. His most famous trial was defending John Peter Zenger.

Zenger created the newspaper the New York Weekly Journal, criticizing with great severity the government. In a time where the media was a simple tool of the governor and the law persecuted those who criticized the state. Zenger was arrested by the charge of seditious libel. Andre Hamilton was selected by the leaders of political society to defend Zenger. The case was tried on August 4, 1735, with a verdict of "not guilty. The American concept of free speech can be said to have had a birthday that day.

What resulted from a 1961 conference in Vienna between President John F. Kennedy in Nikita Khrushchev
aliya0001 [1]

The summit did not resulted in a positive outcome, instead it started a whole new Cold War game on June 3.4. 1961.

On the one hand, Nikita Khrushchev took harsh position over Berlin, a Western spot within communist-controlled East Germany. On the other hand, in that summit Kennedy made it clear that he was not willing to withdraw from Berlin. As a result, there was not progress in the negotiations. However, according to Nikita´s words, in that summit, “Kennedy held a stance through which he was willing to find a peaceful solution to world problems and avoiding conflict with the Soviet Union.”

Following the Summit, the Berlin wall was erected two months later and the Cuban Missile Crisis led the world to the verge of nuclear war in 1962.

Based on the historical setting, why does Paul have two different names? Paul is close with Cassie and his mother, so they enjoy
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Paul’s relationship with his white father and their shared name is not acceptable to society.

Explanation:

Mildred D Taylor's novel "The Land," tells the life story Paul-Edward, the son of a white plantation owner and his black mistress. The story follows the young Paul and his life struggles to come to terms with his biracial identity.

As given in the excerpt from the text, we see Paul narrating how he came to be named Paul-Edward. He points out how his father would call him by his name<em> "Paul-Edward"</em> but only when they are alone for he believes that calling/ giving his name to a biracial/illegitimate child <em>"wouldn't be fitting"</em>. So, calling him by their shared name openly in the white-dominated society, amidst the slavery issue, will not be acceptable to the society.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is the fourth/last option</u>.
