In the time of George Washington, travel was slow and roads were bad. So the Founders allowed a period of four months between the presidential election and the inauguration. With the improvement of road making and advancement of technology, the Twentieth Amendment shortened this unnecessary wait.

This was made because of advances in technology with faster travel and communication. If people were told that they are forced to leave office in five months because they were not reelected, they would not do their work for those last five months.

Which reason(s) might provide good cause for a Christian to "count it all joy" as James says to do in James 1:2-4?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to James 1:2-4 Christians should count it all joy when trials and temptation arises, when troubles comes and storm arose as in the case of the disciples on the boat this is because trials and temptation comes for a glory that is ahead, it works patience into believers life, endurance, longsuffering which are fruits of the spirit.

Trials should not be seen as evil but a time to be built up,strengthen spiritually hence, the Joy ahead should be the focus of a believer.

Given that the scripture emphasize that in the world there will be tribulation but as believers be of good cheer for Christ have overcome the world this is the testimony of a believe in distress and trials and that is why James an apostle admonish that believers should count it all Joy for the crown ahead.

Answer:

This idea is according to the Opponent-Process Theory.

Explanation:

Opponent-Process Theory suggests the way an individual perceives colors is controlled by 3 opposing systems:

  • Green vs. red
  • Blue vs. yellow
  • black vs. white

An individual can only detect one of the two colors from each system at a time, since once of the colors tends to conceal the other.

This theory can be applied to emotions as well, also looking at them as pairs of opposites such as:

  • Sleepiness vs. arousal
  • Fear vs. relief
  • Pain vs. pleasure

In this case, once the stimulus which has caused fear ends, the opposite emotion will occur; relief.

Why is tyranny so important
riadik2000 [5.3K]
I think it is important to recognize what tyranny is but not that it be a way to rule. Tyranny is a cruel and repressive government over the people of a land who get to have no say in what is being done. It is an abuse of authority of one person. If people don't recognize this type of government taking over they are doomed to be reigned by someone who will ruin their lives and country.
