Answer:

scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Based on the research done by scientists, the Geologic Column, a graph that illustrates earth age, was developed. The Column, with its names for the epochs and eras of time, illustrates what scientists think was taking place in earth history. A

Let's take a brief look at each of these methods.

The three primary methods are:

Radiation Measurement

Stratigraphic Superposition

The Fossil Record

Once you finish looking at the methods, return here to do a Special Teacher/Student Geologic Time Activity

From these methods of dating, scientists have determined that the earth as we know it seems to be about 4.6 billion years old. It is theorized that the earth got its start as a result of what is called the "Big Bang nearly 6 billion years ago. The Big Bang theory holds that all the planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies, etc., are the result of a huge explosion that sent material speeding through space. As time passed, the gravitational force of larger chucks of material attracted the smaller chunks and formed the galaxies and solar systems we see today.

Answer:

The founding fathers had mentioned the 39th clause of the Magna Carta, which was that the government can unjustly deprive any individual of “ life, liberty or property " and that no person would have legal action taken against them without the "lawful Judgment of his equals."  The Magna Carta had ensured that the king would not be above the law; just how the Founding Fathers wanted it here. They wanted the government to abide by the law and respect the rights of the citizens.

 The Magna Carta had also promised the people to not imprison them illegally and to also Ensure access to a trial. Also a lot like here. America has fair trials.
