New religious sects were on the rise in Europe. In England, William Penn attended Oxford where he joined the Society of Friends (Quakers). These new sects were treated badly, and the Quakers received the worst treatment of all. They were thrown in prison for refusing to obey any law that disrupted their religion and they refused to pay to support the state religion. The only way to escape such treatment was to go to America. William Penn's father was an Admiral and King Charles II had owed him a sum of money. Admiral Penn was dead so William Penn asked King Charles II give him a tract of land in payment of the debt. King Charles II granted him much of present-day Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

Answer: Willian Penn arrived in Pennsylvania in 1692, a colony of the New World (referring to the ancient name of newly discovered America) when he was granted a royal charter by King Charles II.

Explanation: Pennsylvania is the most successful English colonies. William Penn was a Son of naval admiral and was a friend of King Charles II and his brother Duke of York. he joined a religious group of Quakers who believed that ministers were unnecessary and everyone should act according to their own "Inner Light". They started civil disobedience, they stopped paying taxes and they ware regarded as dangerous to England and Anglican Church. After his father's death, he inherited a debt that Charles II owed to his father, he acquired a Royal charter as a payment of debt and he decided to make his own colony as a safe haven for Quakers. He wrote his own constitution of the colony with three important points:

1) Equality for all

2) Right to Vote

3) Purchase of land.

Religious tolerance was a prominent feature of his colony.

In what way were the origins of world war ii in asia and europe similar to each other?

denis-greek [22]

•Both Japan and Germany were dissatisfied with their positions in the international power structure. Both expanded their territories through force, causing tensions with other powers.
•However, Japanese leaders felt that they were not being treated as an equal power on the world stage because of racism, while Germans felt that they were being treated unfairly because of their defeat in World War I.
•Japan's initial conquests were driven primarily by a desire to acquire raw materials and other resources, whereas Germany's were driven primarily by strategic rivalries with neighboring powers.

What is the answer to 1/2a-7<2/3a-9

drek231 [11]

$\frac{1}{2}$ a - 7 < $\frac{2}{3}$ a - 9 Give the fractions a common denominator. (2 and 3 both go into 6)
 $\frac{3}{6}$ a - 7 < $\frac{4}{6}$ a - 9 Subtract $\frac{3}{6}$ a from both sides
-7 < $\frac{1}{6}$ a - 9 Add 9 to both sides
2 < $\frac{1}{6}$ a Multiply both sides by 6 to cancel out the fraction
12 < a Flip the inequality to make it easier to read
a > 12
