How did President Bashar al-Assad respond to the peaceful protest

History
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The heavy sense of dictatorship and memories of the 1980s made Syrians think the wave of change in the region would never come to their country.

But it did happen. At first, people were surprised, but above all shocked that their government would fire on peaceful protesters in Deraa. Every day, the death toll increased and in reaction more people took to the street.

The movement started as protests calling for more freedom and dignity. The way the government handled the events since those first days drove more and more people to oppose President Bashar al-Assad.

At first, no-one was calling for the regime to fall. Many people had hopes that the young president would respond to their calls and punish those of the security forces who killed innocent civilians.

But the wave of killings and arrests, torture and humiliation targeting people who were not even involved in the demonstrations drove many who steered clear of politics to join the protest movement.

Answer:

For the first question, if I remember correctly, it was A, and for the 2nd, D.

Explanation:

From what I remember, Congress used literacy tests to limit the # of immigrants that came to the US, since they likely wouldn't be able to understand American language. And immigrants often suffer from poverty or persecution in their homes, which is why they immigrate.

Why would the Sabbath(rest day) be a benefit of an agricultural society consisting of servants and slaves?
hjlf

Answer:

Explanation:

Sabbath is the seventh and sacred day of the week according to Hebrew and Shemitah tradition. That day was reserved for rest and worship only. The fact that agricultural societies -such as ancient Egypt- had adopted this kind of tradition was beneficial to remove the lordship and rule of man over the slaves.
