it D. The word "impeachment" derives from Old French empeechier from Latin impedicare expressing the idea of becoming caught or entrapped, and has analogues in the modern French verb empêcher (to prevent) and the modern English impede. Medieval popular etymology also associated it (wrongly) with derivations from the Latin impetere (to attack). (In its more frequent and more technical usage, impeachment of a witness means challenging the honesty or credibility of that person.)
Impeachment was first used in the British political system.<span>[citation needed]</span> Specifically, the process was first used by the English "Good Parliament" against Baron Latimer
in the second half of the 14th century. Following the British example,
the constitutions of Virginia (1776), Massachusetts (1780) and other
states thereafter adopted the impeachment mechanism, but they restricted
the punishment to removal of the official from office. As well, in
private organizations, a motion to impeach can be used to prefer charges.<span />
It is "impeachment" that is the constitutional action starts the process by which a president is removed from office. It is very rare that this process is started, however.
Roman women had very limited roles in ancient Roman society. Typical jobs undertaken by such women were in agriculture, markets, crafts, as midwives and as wet-nurses.
