Explanation:

The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground,[1] with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly increasing the strain on the prisoner's shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows and causing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated[1] and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibres are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.

What effect did the american offensive in the meuse argonne area have on ending world war 1
Anit [1.1K]
It helped because it enabled other fronts to open up because the American Offensive in the area ended with a victory, which meant that they could move to other areas and bother Germans there. They didn't' do this however because the fighting ended since the Germans became aware of their losses and signed an armistice.

Why should all Americans have equal rights and opportunities?
lidiya [134]

People need to believe they have equal social and political rights, else there would be mass protests, revolutions and anarchy. Whether they actually exist in real life is irrelevant here, only the belief matters.

The primary difference in the social structures of humans and animals is the forced imposition of order in human society, leading to a more 'collective' society, instead of the usual 'survival of the fittest/law of the jungle' structure.  

And the concept of equal rights is necessary to achieve this imposition of order.

In my opinion, a human society following 'law of the jungle' would be unsustainable, simply because humans as a species are too weak to survive as individuals. The greatest strength of our species is our mental faculty. This leads to the sum of the parts being greater than the whole. As individuals though, we would fail to harness this strength.

Therefore, equal rights do offer us an evolutionary advantage, since they allow us to cluster together, and grow as a population, which is the only way for us to survive.
