1."Slaves are in the power of masters, a power derived from the law of nations: for among all nations it may be remarked that ma

sters have the power of life and death over their slaves, and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master.
2.But at the present day none of our subjects may use unrestrained violence towards their slaves, except for a reason recognized by law.

It says:  "for among all nations it may be remarked that masters have the power of life and death over their slaves, and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master." and "But at the present day none of our subjects may use unrestrained violence towards their slaves, except for a reason recognized by law." So from that we can draw the conclusion that "<span>Masters were allowed to kill their own slaves, if they had a reason for doing so." (B) is correct.</span>

Why did Puritans feel a lack of guilt for their harsh punishments for broken rules?
mash [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Puritans felt a lack of guilt for their harsh punishments for broken rules because of they followed "Old Testament teachings" (A).</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The punishment imposed by the puritans is found in the bible's old testament. This was before the coming of Jesus Christ. It is due to this that the puritans developed justification for their unworthy actions that they did in the past. The puritans had different religious groups who had created a theology of the common criticism. The puritans also wanted to purge all churches of the Roman Catholic’s ruling hierarchies of cardinals and bishops. They, therefore, conducted ceremonies that involved the clergy with repeated prayers and liturgy.
