During the rule of Mansa Musa, the Mali empire saw enormous developments. Mansa Musa conquered 24 cities, each with its surrounding districts containing villages and states. He was also well-known for being one of the richest people in history, as Mali was the largest producer of gold in the world.

Mansa Musa protected religious freedom in Mali, although he was a devout Muslim. With the construction of a university in Timbuktu, Mansa Musa invited Muslim scholars to visit the kingdom. These scholars were surprised to see the appearance of the Muslim people of Mali, as they followed traditional African dress codes. In particular, they were shocked at seeing that the women were unveiled and wore cool, colourful clothing, as opposed to the more somber attire worn by Middle Eastern women.

Neporo4naja [7]

The statement that the artist would most likely disagree is that his violence undermined constitutional law.

<h3>Who is John Brown?</h3>

The John Brown's raid on the Harpers Ferry was the last series of events that led to the American Civil War in 1800's

John Brown and his sons killed more than three supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre as a retaliation to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces

However, he relocated frequently through the different states where he worked as a tanner, sheep drover, wool merchant, farmer etc.

In conclusion, the Option B will be correct because his violence does not undermined constitutional law.
