Similar-- composition of lyrical poetry based on themes found in life like love and tragedy.
Difference-- Singer/songwriters work for a large media audience whereas troubadours worked for the court.
Singer/songwriters and troubadours express emotion and stories through lyrics that are often written in poetic measure. They express the themes of society through their songs. These songs are for entertainment, dance, and expression of love, sadness, or other emotions.
However, singer/songwriters today work for a media audience with purchasing power. They must appeal to all people to sell their product. Troubadours were often employed by the royal court and must appeal to the court. They were smaller in scale for the scope of their lyrics as they worked in villages and local royal events.
Answer:
Eastern parts were richer and more populated, while western part had a symbolic value (Rome). All in all, western half collapsed quickly and doesn't have great impact on history. Eastern half is the Byzantine empire, which had a great impact on eastern Europe, it basically "created" Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian empires (of which only Russian managed to survive long enough to become a world force) and (Byzantine ) had a great influence on Ottoman empire.
hope this helps ;)
Explanation:
The Equal Protection clause is the last part of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the USA. The full amendment reads:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
All these rulings have actually had the effect of reinforcing the legal protections of very different minority groups (Hispanics, women, LGBTs). The SCOTUS has ruled that these protections apply both a the federal and the state level since according to the Constitution all states must ensure equal protection of the laws for all citizens born or naturalized in the United States. The court clearly considers these issues as relevant to everyday citizens.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. It has interpreted equal protection as applying to different groups of people.
