Answer:
The 13th amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, passed the Senate on April 8, 1864, and the House on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
In 1863 President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation. Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.
The 13th amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union and should have easily passed the Congress. Although the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming Presidential elections. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.
With the adoption of the 13th amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th amendment, along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.

Basic human rights refers to the type of rights that cannot be denied under any circumstance. The juries in the trial are assigned by the court, so you cannot ask for the request to include your peers as a part of the jury. The right to leave the country also can be denied in case you are fail to fulfil several obligations or you conducted some sort of crime.
It greatly changed the view of the Vietnam War back in America. People already didn't want U.S boots down on Vietnam, but the My Lai massacre made the U.S People really change views and turn on the war. This also affected the government, which then affected how the U.S commanders dictated the war.
Answer:
(3). Challenges Facing Israel as a Nation
Explanation:
Israel matches all three characteristics listed in the question.
Israel is bordered by hostile countries, because Arab nations like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt have always had complicated relations with Israel, ever since the country came to be after World War II.
Israel also has very limited arable land, because the country is very small, and most of its territory is either desert, or semi-desert. For this same very reason, israel has scarce water resources.
Finally, Israel has suffered from several intifadas, which are popular rebellions from the arab populations of Cisjordania and Gaza, the two territorial entities that conform the state of Palestine, which borders Israel.
I would say the answer is D.
