Breaking down "nature of this covenant"...
<em>Nature</em> refers to the characteristics of the covenant
A<em> covenant </em>is an agreement, sort of like an informal contract
While you didn't provide us with Chapter 19, versus 5 and 6, reading the rest of the question it can be inferred God is telling the Israelites to "keep his covenant."
To answer the question "What is the nature of this covenant?" read the chapter and ask yourself the following questions:
Is God stern with the Israelites? Helpful? Angry? Happy? Does He feel bad for them? Does He take pity on them? Are they loyal to God?
Does God get more out of the covenant than the Israelites do? Who does the covenant benefit more?
How do the Israelites feel about the covenant? How do they feel about their current situation in general? Does the convenant calm them? Inspire them?

Explanation:
Thomas Paine<em> (1737-1809)</em> <u>is one of the founding figures of the United States</u> due to his pamphlet<em> Common Sense</em>, and it's influence during the time of the American Revolution.
Answer 1.
- <em>Thomas Paine</em> stated that England protected the 13 colonies for the sake of trade and dominion, he also points out that England would have protected any country for those same reasons because their only motive <em>was interest and not attachment </em>to the 13 colonies.
Answer 2.
- Paine wrote on his pamphlet "Common Sense" that even if the colonies were related only through the Parent Country (England), <em>the true Parent or Mother Country of America was Europe</em>, because the New World was the asylum of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.
Answer 3.
- He wrote on his pamphlet Common Sense that <em>England brought prejudices to America</em>, an Englishman was superior simply by the fact that they were born in England even though the majority of the population on the colonies were born in America. He also wrote that the government used<em> tyrannical practices against the colonies. </em>
Answer 4.
- Thomas Paine thought it was a proper time <em>to stop waiting four to five months for a petition to be reviewed</em> and that it made no sense to travel three or four thousand miles with a petition. He thought Britain had no rightful power in America's justice.
Answer 5.
- He thought that the 13 colonies would make more progress and would be wealthier if they were independent from England, because the enemies the colonies were facing and stopped them from trading were enemies of England and not theirs. <em>If the colonies were independent they would be able to trade with countries like Spain and France.</em>
Answer 6.
- Thomas Paine told the American people in Common Sense<u> that independence from Britain was possible.</u> He said that <em>if there had to be a king it would have to be the rule of law and not of a single man.</em> He proposed a free republic where any payment would go to the law because "the law is king".
The correct answer is D) public schools designated for "whites only."
<em>The option that is an example of de jure discrimination is, public schools designated for "whites only."</em>
De jure segregation was a form of segregation for African Americans in the United States. This was race discrimination enforced by the law. Government laws in the Southern States allowed discrimination for black peole. For instance, laws that ordered public education, public schools only to be attended by white students. That is an example of de jure discrimination, a legal separation of groups based on race.
OK so I believe the right to have freedom of religion is the most important because it keeps everyone's beliefs intact even though they may be of a different religion you can still practice it. Freedom of religion keeps you spiritually sound by being able to practice what you believe in where ever and when ever you want. This right is protected by not being able to prohibit the practice of any religion but I believe it is limited because of not the government that created freedom of religion but the people of the United states that shun religions other than Christianity and Catholicism like lets say that someone was to pray to the 5 pillars they are usually criticized for believing in something different and are treated differently like an outsider or sometimes worse.
