Allow me to do better than offer "a speech that Theodora <em>might hav</em>e given."

The following is a record of the speech she <em>actually did give</em> to Justinian in AD 532, when the riots had broken out in Constantinople.

The speech was recorded by the historian (AD 500-565), probably on the testimony of one or more of the royal advisors who were present.  Procopius recorded Theodora's words in chapter 24 of his <em>History of the Wars </em>(published AD 552).  Here's what he said Theodora said to Justinian:

  • <em>As to whether it is unseemly for a woman to be bold among men, or to be daring when others are full of fear, I do not think that the present crisis allows us to consider the matter.  For in extreme danger the only vital thing is to deal with the situation in the best way.  For my part, I consider that now of all times flight would be bad, even if it brings safety.  Once a man is born he cannot escape dying, but for one who has held the imperial power it would be unbearable to become a fugitive.  May I never be parted from this purple, and may I never live to see the day when men who meet me will not address me as their sovereign.  If you wish to be saved, Emperor, that is not difficult.  We have great resources of wealth; there is the sea, here are the boats.  But take care lest when you have saved yourself you wish that you could have death instead of your safety.  I agree with the old saying, “Purple is a good shroud.” </em>

Should you have made the decision to drop the atomic bomb over Japan like America did ? Why or why not ? 5 sentences.
fiasKO [112]
No, I would have not dropped the atomic bomb over Japan. The reason I state this is because I would have considered the many people that would have died in the act. Entire families would have been vanished or broken apart, many years would have been shed. A lot of hearts would have never been mended through the course of time, a horrid memory would have stayed with them till their very death. Also, many innocent people would pay for the act of a few bad men.

What would you label the 8th pillar why
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The confession of faith

Explanation:

The pillar is the bridge between HEAVEN and EARTH, the vertical axis which both unites and divides these two realms. It is closely connected to the symbolism of the TREE; it also represents stability, and a broken pillar represents death and mortality.

Confession of faith, formal statement of doctrinal belief ordinarily intended for public avowal by an individual, a group, a congregation, a synod, or a church; confessions are similar to creeds, although usually more extensive. ... A brief treatment of confessions of faith follows.

Which plan made it easiest for former Confederate states to rejoin the United States? Which treated those states the most harshl
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The 10% Plan

Explanation:

Lincoln’s blueprint for Reconstruction included the Ten-Percent Plan,which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an Oath Of Allegiance to the Union. Voters could then elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All southerners except for high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials would be granted a full pardon. Lincoln guaranteed southerners that he would protect their private property, though not their slaves. Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the president’s proposal for Reconstruction because they wanted to bring a quick end to the war.
