Answer:The Espionage Act

Explanation:

Snowden was sued for theft of government property and violation of section 793(d) and 798(a)(3) of the ESPIONAGE ACT.

The crime under these sections carry possible sentence of 30 years imprisonment. He can not be charged the crime of TREASON since it(treason) requires individual(s) waging war against the United States or a act of aiding United States' enemies.

The word 'Espionage' means the practice of spying to get information about the activities of foreign government(s).

Section 798(a)(3) forbids intentionally communication of confidential files to an unauthorized individual(s). The United States Supreme Court recognize the fact that employees of the government working with National security are in a POSITION OF TRUST that LIMITS THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to DISCLOSE INFORMATION.

Ipaliwanag ang ugnayan ng pag-unlad ng sarili at pag-unlad ng bayan

mezya [45]

Answer:

Ano ang personal na pag-unlad? Ang personal na pag-unlad ay hindi isang milyahe at hindi ito nakakamit ng isang tiyak na edad. Ang personal na pag-unlad ay isang patuloy na proseso para sa mga pipiliing magtrabaho dito. Dahil ang pagkamit ng pagiging perpekto ay imposible, ang bawat isa ay may silid para sa pagpapabuti sa ilang mga lugar sa kanilang buhay.

Sa mabilis na paglaki ng populasyon at mga lugar para sa mga negosyo upang gumana sa isang abot-kayang batayan na mahirap makuha sa modernong panahon, ang kahalagahan ng tuluy-tuloy na pamumuhunan at pag-unlad ng ating mga bayan ay na-highlight nang higit pa kaysa dati. Para sa mga tagaplano ng bayan, ang makilala hindi lamang ang ilang mga lugar ng lunsod para sa kaunlaran, ngunit ang mga partikular na paggamit para sa mga gusaling mayroon nang naging pangunahing pag-aalala kung ang bansa ay patuloy na umunlad sa labas ng kabisera. Sa maraming mataas na lansangan sa buong bansa na hindi na tumatakbo sa parehong paraan na dati (mas gusto ng mga tao ngayon na bisitahin ang mga pagpapaunlad sa labas ng bayan upang mag-shopping), ang mga sentro ng bayan ay kailangang umangkop sa mga nagbabagong oras at magbabago kung sila pa rin nais na maging isang kaakit-akit na lugar para sa mga bisita, negosyo at mga nakatira doon.
