President Reagan Shot

On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot by John W. Hinkley, Jr., while leaving the Washington Hilton Hotel after giving a speech. The President was hit under his left arm by a bullet that ricocheted off his limousine. Once the sound of shots rang in the air, Secret Service agent Jerry Parr shoved Reagan into his limousine, and then, after

Parr's quick-witted diversion of the presidential limousine to the hospital was a move that probably saved Reagan's life. The bullet had missed Reagan's heart by a mere inch. Although not believed to be serious at the time, Reagan's wounds were in fact life-threatening. He underwent surgery to remove the bullet and repair a lung that had collapsed.

Still President Reagan, ever the trouper, walked into the hospital before he collapsed. Later he won the heart of the nation when the stories of his courage and humor disarmed critics and endeared him to the public. When he arrived at the hospital, he reportedly joked with the medical staff, “Please tell me you're Republicans,” and he quipped to an anxious Nancy, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” One of the older Presidents when elected, Reagan was 70 years old when he took the oath of office; questions about his stamina and energy were commonplace during the early months of his presidency. His quick recovery from the assassination attempt, however, helped to brush those concerns aside.

President Reagan appeared before a joint session of Congress a few months after the assassination attempt to thunderous support. The attempt on his life and speedy recovery from his wounds helped establish his reputation for toughness, humility, and strength-a far cry from the public perception of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter. Press Secretary James Brady, however, suffered permanent brain damage from his wounds, and later advocated the passage of gun control laws. The “Brady Bill,” named in his honor, limited handgun purchases and required background checks on gun purchasers.

In 1982, a District of Columbia jury tried John W. Hinkley, Jr., and found him not guilty by reason of insanity. He was then committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for treatment of his mental illness.

What are the causes of the French revolution be sure to enlighten
exis [7]

Answer:

unequal distribution of wealth

divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary.

corruption

increase in the tax

Explanation:

The French Revolution which lasted from 1787 to 1799 had several factors that contributed to its cause. One of the major causes was the unequal distribution of wealth between the bourgeois and poor people.

The divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary. Intellectuals and enlightenment advocates started to criticize such right. In time, more people started to join the enlightenment movement.

The rise in corruption among the royal family and nobles and increase in the tax both contributed immensely to the cause. Apart from these causes, French involvement in the American Revolution, bankruptcy and economic failure all attributed to the rise of the revolution.

(PLS HELP) How can opinion, or bias, cause the outcome of an experiment to be incorrect? Provide an example and a possible inacc
frutty [35]
Opinion or bias can cause the outcome of an experiment to be incorrect because it’s based off of a personal preference. That being said, any desirable outcome can be produced. One example of this would be human reproduction. Let’s say a person of Cuban race wants a mixed child. They would decide not to marry a Cuban spouse because it’s biased that the offspring will be only one race. Therefore, they would marry a person of a different race to provide a desirable outcome, which in this case, would be a biracial child. Bias leans a result toward one side, preferably the result desired. That’s how opinions and biases can cause the outcome of experiments to be incorrect.
