What acts by Congress were intended to prevent this repressive social and political order?
Mamont248 [21]

The correct answer is C) establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau.

The acts by Congress that were intended to prevent this repressive social and political order were the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau.

In a time of ecom¿nomic problems and political instability, the Freedmen's Bureau was a real help for former black slaves and poor white people that lived in the south and practically had nothing after the conclusion of the American Civil War.

The US Congress approved the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau in 1865 to assist these people with medical attention, food, shelter, and education. Unfortunately, there was not enough money to accomplish these, besides the political "climate" in the racist's southern states never accepted this Freedmen's Bureau.

why are individual rights important to a democratic society in wartime? Why are there some limits on these rights?
ExtremeBDS [4]
There have always been conflicts between individual rights and national security interests in democracies. Limits on civil liberties during wartime, including restrictions on free speech, public assembly, and mass detentions, have been the most serious threats to individual freedom. Even in peacetime, counter-terrorist measures including profiling, detention, and exclusion, along with the use of national identification cards, have raised concerns about racism, constitutional violations, and the loss of privacy. With the passage of new anti-terrorist laws after September 11, 2001, these tensions have increased. Supporters of broader governmental powers insist that they are part of the increased security measures necessary to safeguard national security. In contrast, many civil rights groups fear that the infringement upon individual rights is another step in the erosion of democratic civil society.

Wartime measures. The severest restrictions on civil liberties have occurred in times of war. In September 1862, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) suspended the right of habeas corpus in order to allow federal authorities to arrest and detain suspected Confederate sympathizers without arrest warrants or speedy trials. Well aware of the drastic nature of such a step, Lincoln justified it as a necessary wartime measure. After the United States Supreme Court found Lincoln's abrogation of habeas corpus an unconstitutional intrusion on Congressional authority, Congress itself ratified the measure by passing the Habeas Corpus Act in September 1863. Through 1864, about 14,000 people were arrested under the act; about one in seven were detained at length in federal prisons, most on allegations of offering aid to the Confederacy but others on corruption and fraud charges.

Why are the journeys of the patriarchs important to Jewish people?
masya89 [10]

Answer:   in the explaination:) thanks me later

Explanation:

Abraham faced struggles that no other person experienced before or since. As a result of successfully overcoming these challenges, he became the father of the Jewish people. When yet a child, without the positive role models of parents, teachers, and society, he discovered the existence of G‑d entirely on his own. At great personal risk, he introduced the major principles of monotheism to a world in which the concept did not exist. Ordered by the wicked King Nimrod to recant his beliefs, Abraham refused, even when threatened with death. His staunch refusal was all the more remarkable, considering that Abraham had never received communication from G‑d and thus had no idea of being saved or of earning eternal reward in the next world. Miraculously, Abraham emerged from Nimrod’s fiery furnace unscathed.

Later, Abraham left his hometown, Ur, in southern Iraq, and settled in the land of Israel, where he taught multitudes the Jewish concept of G‑d. He is One, Abraham said, timeless, incorporeal, benevolent, and demands moral and ethical behavior from mankind. At the age of 70, Abraham received a prophetic vision in which G‑d promised that Abraham would become the forerunner of a nation totally devoted to G‑d’s service, and that this nation would inherit the land of Israel. The promise was realized when at age 90 Abraham’s wife Sarah gave birth to his son Isaac.

G‑d tested Abraham’s faith 10 times. The greatest of these challenges was the Akeidah, the command to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Aside from the personal tragedy of losing his son, Abraham faced the total destruction of his life’s work. First, Abraham’s greatest desire was to establish a nation that would continue his G‑dly mission, a dream that would not be realized if Isaac perished. Second, Abraham would be revealed as a charlatan and a fraud. Indeed, for many years Abraham preached that G‑d abhors human sacrifice, and suddenly he stood accused of that very same crime! Nevertheless, Abraham responded to G‑d’s command with alacrity. At the last moment, as Abraham held the knife above the neck of his bound son, G‑d told Abraham to desist and gave him the promise of eternal survival, which has sustained the Jewish people to this day. Countless Jews throughout the generations have emulated Abraham and Isaac, and have given up their lives, when necessary, Al Kiddush HaShem, to sanctify G‑d’s name. Abraham died in 2023 at the age of 175.

Isaac

Isaac’s history was very different than that of his father. Unlike Abraham, Isaac was born in the land of Israel, and lived and died there. Unlike his father, a master teacher, Isaac saw as his life’s mission the solidifying of the spiritual foundation of the Jewish people through internal self-perfection. Therefore, he did not reach out to the masses in the manner of Abraham, although Issac did not entirely neglect outreach activities. When there was a famine, Isaac settled in the Philistine area of southwestern Israel. A remarkable episode took place there, one that is a portent for the Jewish experience throughout the exile: the story of Isaac and the wells. The following chart displays the striking similarities between Isaac’s life and future events and also illustrates the concept of maase avos siman l’banim: the events of our forefathers’ lives are a paradigm for those of their descendants:
