Hello there!
The Republican Cursus Honorum was the order of magistracies that were to be climbed step by step in Republican Rome to reach the highest possible rank.
The order was the following:
1) Quaestores: Were in charge of overseeing public funds.
2) Aediles: Were the "Mayors" of Rome, in charge of urban planning, festivities, wheat distribution...
3) Praetores: Were in charge of presiding over the Courts of Rome.
4) Consuls: Were the highest magistrates in Rome. Two consuls were elected each year, and they were the Roman "Chiefs of State".
The BEST answer is:
d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.
While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."
Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
<span>Well mostly, people identify more strongly with regional and ethnic groups than with the nation...perhaps I'd go with the option A.</span>
Answer:
C)Mexico banned slavery, but did not enforce this law in Texas.
Explanation:
In 1823, Mexico forbade the sale or purchase of slaves and required that when they reached 14 the children of slaves be freed.
In 1829 Mexico abolished slavery, but Texas was granted an exception until 1830. That year Mexico made the importation of slaves illegal. Slave owners started calling slaves indentured servants to go around this law when coming into Mexico. In 1832 the state passed legislation that prohibited the making of worker contracts that lasted more than 10 years.
