In Western Europe (except in Spain, Italy and Portugal), as feudalism spread, kings lost political powers as a s result of losing control of the main means of wealth production at the time, lands. Even though feudal lords were legally under the king's authority, they were the actual holders of a great deal of the political power as they were in direct control of the economic production and wealth. The appearance of a new social class producing even greater amounts of wealth yet despised by the nobility, the bourgeoisie, offered the kings the opportunity to trade titles of nobility (not based on the possession of lands, though) for money in order to build up enough resources in order to wrest power from the nobles. The actions that most kings carried out were:

  • depriving rebellious noblemen from their lands as a way to increase the crown's power and set an example for other noblemen
  • creation of a  a new aristocratic class of free men who paid for their titles and strengthened the crown's finances
  • enhancement or construction of lavish capital cities and ordering the noblemen to change their residence to the king's court, so that they could be kept under close surveillance and reduce the chances of rebellion
  • raising of national armies under the direct control of the crown instead of depending on the nobles' levying armies loyal to the nobles and not the king
  • a revival and enhancing of the traditional notion of the divine rule of kings which entitled the monarchs to claim absolute power in the land for "God wills it," thus, acting against the king would be the same as acting against God, the worst crime in medieval times

As pertaining to the Constitution, how has this pandemic impacted:
Setler79 [48]

Unclear question. However, I inferred you are referring to the ongoing pandemic.

Explanation:

Remember, federalism system of governance allows the sharing of powers between different levels of government (state, local or county and the federal government).

However, certain decisions are left for the higher arm of government, which was seen in Texas when local officials (county commissioners) modified the Commissioner's Court Executive Orders on restrictions with the aim of making it in line with the higher level (State government) orders.

The world maps created by Ibn Idrisi were different from older maps created
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The world maps created by Ibn Idrisi were different from older maps created by Ptolemy because they exaggerated the sizes of landmasses near the equator. Thus the option (B) is correct.

<h3>Who was Ibn Idrisi?</h3>

Ibn Idrisi was the Arab geographer who made more than 70 maps. He was also the cartographer and the Egyptologist who created the maps of Mediterranean Sea, northern Africa, Europe, and parts of Asia.

The  Ibn Idrisi maps were different from the older maps created by Ptolemy because they exaggerated the sizes of landmasses near the equator. Thus the option (B) is correct.

Why might have all of the racial segregation/discrimination laws of the south come back to be called "Jim Crow" laws?
castortr0y [4]

The term Jim Crow was widely used as a euphemism for black persons, from the color of the bird. The 1832 faux-minstrel song "Jump Jim Crow" (a white portrayal of a slave stereotype) was used to attack Andrew Jackson's populist policies.

So the laws that were enacted following the easing of Reconstruction were called Jim Crow laws. While they could not openly prevent economic activity by African-Americans, they established a legal system of second-class citizenship by requiring blacks to use separate-but-equal facilities (whose blatant inequality was often overlooked). Notable were "back of the bus" public transportation rules, and refusal by white restauants to serve blacks (Negros, colored) at the same lunch counters as whites.

Another sub-genre of Jim Crow laws outlawed interracial marriages (miscegenation). These were widely enacted in the North and South.

It was not until the period after World War 2, when the armed forces were finally integrated, that the move for civil rights gained impetus, culminating in violent clashes in the South as voter drives and demonstrations became more of a threat to the white hierarchy. The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the beginning of the end for racial discrimination disguised as a legal public policy.
