The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or further context or references, we can comment on the following.

The price offered for Alcatraz Island ($9.40) was fair because it was practically the amount the government originally paid the Native Indians or 47 cents per acre.

After closing the prison in 1963, the government's idea was to sell it to private investors but that is when Native American Indian protests started. Native Indians argued the existence of a treaty that said that if the government abandoned federal land, it had to be returned to the Indians.

These Native American Indians influenced the United States government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.

What provision in the law of the Hebrew Bible might discourage many Hebrew slaves from seeking their freedom?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Leviticus 24-44:46.

Explanation:

The Hebrew Bible mentions few rules and regulations for maintaining slaves and how to treat them. Some provisions of the Hebrew Bible talks about setting slaves free after specific years while some talks about keeping them for generations.

The provision that might discourage many Hebrew slaves from seeking their freedom would be through the contents of Leviticus 24-44:46 of the Hebrew Bible. It says that slaves can be acquired from other nations or from one's own land itself if one wills to do so. The slaves that one acquire become one's private property and can be inherited to one's children.

This interprets that slaves have no right to become free if the owner does not wants to set them free. Instead they can be inherited by the owner's children as their property.

Did america's war with Mexico violate the principles of the Monroe doctrine?
Alexus [3.1K]
<span>d) No, because the Monroe doctrine stated that it was the fate of the U.S. to control North America. This was in fact the meaning of  this doctrine and was/has been used to justify American interference in the internal affairs of many Latin American countries, not just Mexico over the years, including but not limited to, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Nicaragua and in recent times, Honduras.</span>
