Answer:

Why did it take so long for monarchs to be subject to the rule of law just like everyone else?

European Absolute Monarchs of the Modern Era had accumulated lots of power, starting from the Middle Ages. They had subjugated the former medieval feudal lords, and they also had the support of the Church (the Catholic Church in the case of nations like France and Spain, and Protestant Churches in the case of England).

This alliance with the Church not only gave them more political power and wealth, but also legitimacy in front of the people. Many of these monarchs, like Louis XIV, were seen almost divine.

Why was England first to have a constitutional monarchy rather than an absolute monarchy?

England had a tradition of limiting the power of the monarch that traces back to the Carta Magna of 1215.

From that moment on, the parliament always kept some form of check on the monarch.

Besides, England, along with the Netherlands, was the first European country to liberalize the economy. This economic freedom brought wealth to many merchants, tradesmen and so on, what would be known as the  

bourgeoisie.

These people began to demand political representation in the parliament, which contributed to the power decline of the English monarchs.

DRED SCOTT DECISION where the Supreme Court ruling stated slaves did not have a right to sue since they were not citizens, but merely property.

These were their arguments.
<span>Dred Scott:
When a person enters a free State or territory, the free status overrides the previous condition of servitude. Since slavery was forbidden in the free States and territories by
federal and State laws, Dred Scott became free when he entered Illinois and Wisconsin.</span><span>

Sandford:
To deprive a person of property (in this case, Dred Scott) without due process or just compensation violated the 5th Amendment, which states that “No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Dred Scott was still a slave and no master's property rights could be limited or taken away by a State or federal law.</span>

Answer:

the signing of a mutual nonaggression pact in 1990

Explanation:

The Cold War was a period of political tension between the United States and the communist Soviet Union, which had differing philosophies on which governments and economies would operate in the countries in Europe following World War II. Eventually, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany were two of the events that signaled the end of the Cold War, and which led to a peaceful agreement between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US president George W. Bush at the Malta Summit.
