In your opinion, did Columbus discovered the West Indies? Discuss why.

History

irakobra [83]3 years ago

Answer:

In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.

Based on the map what may have prevented the anglican church from spreading beyond england
VLD [36.1K]
Isolation to an island--The Anglican Church or the Church of England remained on the island nation due to geographic isolation. 

The Anglican Church had the king/queen of England as the leadership of the Church. Becoming a member of the church would also create loyalty to the British royalty. In addition, the Church become one with the traditions of the monarchy in Britain and did not connect to other areas.

Expressing Problems Clearly Explain the balance between police power and individual rights.
Nookie1986 [14]

In every society, the government needs to have what are called police powers.  What this means is that the governments need to have the right to uphold the laws.  Governments need to have this ability so that they can protect their citizens from others who would seek to prey on them.  Without police powers, for example, there is no one to protect us from being murdered or robbed, or otherwise harmed.

The problem is that the government can take away our rights in the process of trying to protect us.  For example, let us imagine that the government is worried about drug use.  It therefore declares that it has the right to test any person for drug use at any time.  It also declares that it has the right to search anyone’s house at any time for evidence of drug manufacture, sale, or use.  This would be great for law and order because it would make it much harder to get away with drug crimes, but it would be terrible for our rights.
