Answer:

hey you!

Explanation:

The Gupta Empire was one of the greatest political and military empires in the history of India. It was ruled by the Gupta dynasty between 320 and 550 AD. C. and occupied most of northern India and current East Pakistan and Bangladesh. Under this empire, there was a period of peace and prosperity that favored the development of Indian culture from an artistic, literary and scientific point of view.

Math

Indian numbering is the first numbering system with base ten positional notation. It is believed that Aryabhata was the first mathematician to use the concept of zero.

The astronomers of this period postulated heliocentric theory and studied eclipses, both solar and lunar, explaining them as shadows cast on Earth.

Medicine

The famous Susruta is a Sanskrit text with the main concepts of Ayurvedic medicine (Ayurveda is the name of traditional Indian medicine. It has as a common goal the unification of body-mind and spirit, proclaiming that disease and health are the result of the confluence of three main aspects of existence or doshas) and innovative chapters on surgery. Doctors invented several medical instruments that allowed expanding the number of operations.

Religion

In the religious aspect the Hindu ideas correspond to a large extent to this period, perhaps it is in the time of the Gupta, thanks to the Buddhist influence, that Hinduism came to tolerate the most diverse, and even antagonistic, opinions within its belief system . The elements inherent to Hinduism, which distinguish it from other beliefs, are the caste regime (varna) as a social order and certain rites to which, according to its class, all members of each caste are inseparably linked.

According to Hindu beliefs, the cosmos is eternal in itself, but it is in a state of permanent evolution, while all animated beings, from deities to a simple herb, have an immortal soul (ātmā) coated with the body matter

At the top of his pantheon are the three supreme gods - Brahmā, Vishnú and Shivá -, which are grouped into a triad (Trimurti, in addition to worshiping numerous deities, demigods, local divinities, demonic beings, as well as various supernatural forces). that manifest in nature (rivers, animals, stones, mountains, plants, etc.).

After the backward movement of Buddhism and the restoration of Hinduism, the Gupta society was still divided by the ancient system of four yati or varna (castes):

• bráhmanas: religious authorities (priestly caste)

• chatrías, civil and military authorities

• vaishias: landowners, ranchers, farmers and merchants

• shudrás: lower caste, to which the slaves belonged (although they could be killed, they could not be sold or occupied in "impure" jobs, destined for the chandalas) and peasants.

Outside the varna system would be the "untouchables" or "pariah" ("chandalas" or "arhijans"), hunters, sweepers and body incinerators.

The prosperity of the cities during the Gupta period allowed artisans to group into corporations according to the trade, whose most opulent individuals formed a kind of bourgeoisie.

Technology

Guptas' scientists discovered that there were seven planets in the solar system. They also created the technology that was able to help them detect eclipses of the sun and moon. Arybhata was one of the most famous scientists in the Gupta Empire: I determined that Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun.

Who had the power to accuse and convict people of witchcraft in Salem? How do you think this power affected them? Describe a tim
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The infamous Salem witch trials began during the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. As a wave of hysteria spread throughout colonial Massachusetts, a special court convened in Salem to hear the cases; the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem’s Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women and children were accused over the next several months. By September 1692, the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. Though the Massachusetts General Court later annulled guilty verdicts against accused witches and granted indemnities to their families, bitterness lingered in the community, and the painful legacy of the Salem witch trials would endure for centuries.

Context & Origins of the Salem Witch Trials

Did you know? In an effort to explain by scientific means the strange afflictions suffered by those "bewitched" Salem residents in 1692, a study published in Science magazine in 1976 cited the fungus ergot (found in rye, wheat and other cereals), which toxicologists say can cause symptoms such as delusions, vomiting and muscle spasms.

In January 1692, 9-year-old Elizabeth (Betty) Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams (the daughter and niece of Samuel Parris, minister of Salem Village) began having fits, including violent contortions and uncontrollable outbursts of screaming. After a local doctor, William Griggs, diagnosed bewitchment, other young girls in the community began to exhibit similar symptoms, including Ann Putnam Jr., Mercy Lewis, Elizabeth Hubbard, Mary Walcott and Mary Warren. In late February, arrest warrants were issued for the Parris’ Caribbean slave, Tituba, along with two other women–the homeless beggar Sarah Good and the poor, elderly Sarah Osborn–whom the girls accused of bewitching them.

Salem Witch Trials: The Hysteria Spreads

The three accused witches were brought before the magistrates Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne and questioned, even as their accusers appeared in the courtroom in a grand display of spasms, contortions, screaming and writhing. Though Good and Osborn denied their guilt, Tituba confessed. Likely seeking to save herself from certain conviction by acting as an informer, she claimed there were other witches acting alongside her in service of the devil against the Puritans. As hysteria spread through the community and beyond into the rest of Massachusetts, a number of others were accused, including Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse–both regarded as upstanding members of church and community–and the four-year-old daughter of Sarah Good

Though the respected minister Cotton Mather had warned of the dubious value of spectral evidence (or testimony about dreams and visions), his concerns went largely unheeded during the Salem witch trials. Increase Mather, president of Harvard College (and Cotton’s father) later joined his son in urging that the standards of evidence for witchcraft must be equal to those for any other crime, concluding that “It would better that ten suspected witches may escape than one innocent person be condemned.” Amid waning public support for the trials, Governor Phips dissolved the Court of Oyer and Terminer in October and mandated that its successor disregard spectral evidence. Trials continued with dwindling intensity until early 1693, and by that May Phips had pardoned and released all those in prison on witchcraft charges.

In January 1697, the Massachusetts General Court declared a day of fasting for the tragedy of the Salem witch trials; the court later deemed the trials unlawful, and the leading justice Samuel Sewall publicly apologized for his role in the process. The damage to the community lingered, however, even after Massachusetts Colony passed legislation restoring the good names of the condemned and providing financial restitution to their heirs in 1711. Indeed, the vivid and painful legacy of the Salem witch trials endured well into the 20th century, when Arthur Miller dramatized the events of 1692 in his play “The Crucible” (1953), using them as an allegory for the anti-Communist “witch hunts” led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
