<span>Since the decision of the
Speaker of the House, John William McCormack, was to ask the high
chamber member Adam Clayton Powell Jr. not to take an oath, because of
the previous scandal in which Powell had been involved; If
the jury had decided in favor of Speaker McCormack, the way of operating
in the congress would have been questioned, since only one member could
be expelled according to what the constitution says, and not by the
decisions of the speaker. <span>The scope would have been very
large if it failed in McCormack's favor, giving a sense of illegality or
favoritism, and voters would feel that their representatives were not
respected.</span></span>
I can't really answer your question (as I don't really know enough about 18th century France), but I just want to clear up an (understandable) misconception about Feudalism in your question.
The French revolution was adamant and explicit in its abolition of 'feudalism'. However, the 'feudalism' it was talking about had nothing at all to do with medieval 'feudalism' (which, of course, never existed). What the revolutionaries had in mind, in my own understanding of it, was the legally privileged position of the aristocracy/2nd estate. This type of 'feudalism' was a creation of early modern lawyers and, as a result, is better seen as a product of the early-modern monarchical nation-state, than as a precursor to it. It has nothing to do with the pre-nation-state medieval period, or with the Crusades.
Eighteenth-century buffs, feel free to chip in if I've misrepresented anything, as this is mostly coming from my readings about the historiographical development of feudalism, not any revolutionary France expertise, so I may well have misinterpreted things.
Answer:
Sparta was a military based society. They believed that discipline kept everyone in line and allowed for a zero tolerance society. The emphasis placed on discipline and specific training was vital to Spartan military might. Unlike the soldiers of other Greek states, who had usually received only a taste of military training, the Spartans were raised with it. Every man knew his place and knew the importance of holding it. Young boys started training from the age of 7 years old. And yes halo spartans are based off the real ones. :)
Explanation:
The answer is D because, that is the only answer that shows history in the light of great activity. B and C are irrelevant and A, means they were being controlled.
