May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens,

one of the state’s famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright blue lakes. Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. On May 18, 1980, an earthquake shook the mountain. The mountain’s white dome collapsed. Rocks and snow tore down the mountainside. The volcano erupted. A giant mushroom-shaped cloud of ash and steam rose into the sky. A river of hot lava flowed down the mountain, scorching acres of wildlife. Mudflows, made up of melted snow and debris, buried plants and trees. In some places, the mudflows were over 300 feet deep!

A. Why was Mount St. Helens famous?
B. What happened at Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1st Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech and the press.

4th Amendment: Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Explanation:

  • The first amendment manifests <em>freedom of practising any religion, forming an opinion, and a neutral press.</em> The U.S had various religions but Christians were in the majority, therefore, a feeling of vulnerability was present in the other religions. And to ensure that no one would get harmed because of practising a different religion first amendment was made along with that, the first amendment also ensured that no one would be stopped from forming an opinion and the press wouldn't be exploited by the elites.
  • The fourth amendment was aimed to <em>stop elites or even rivals using the police force as a means to harm others.</em> We have heard about the cases of that time which shows that police used to harass public with a general warrant. So, for me, this is as bad as any crime. Moreover, often police used to do it for their hidden purposes.
