Answer:

the Scopes trial

Explanation:

There was a functioning law or a bill in 1925  that prohibits the teachings human evolution in the state-funded schools. this bill was known as the Tennessee's Butler act.

The scope trial was atrial in 1925 where John T scopes, who was a school teacher was accused of violating the Tennessee's butler act, by teaching Charles Darwin theory of evolution.

Note that ,the teacher was found guilty and he was asked to pay a fine of $100, but the trial was later overturned.

In conclusion, it was made known that , the main reason of the trial is to create publicity to Dayton, which is a small town in Tennessee, because that was the place where the trial was held.

Answer:

The 1925 Tennessee trial in which a public schoolteacher faced charges of violating the state's law prohibiting the teaching of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was called the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Explanation:

The Scopes Trial was a court case where the teacher John Scopes was prosecuted in the Tennessee Criminal Court on July 21, 1925 for teaching developmental doctrine, which was contrary to Tennessee's then-current legislation. He was sentenced to $ 100 in fines and after that, the theory came to play a very small role in American schools in favor of the Bible's creation story. When the US-Soviet space race began in 1957, an increasing emphasis was placed on natural science subjects in the United States.

This trial was a more temporary accentuation of the long-standing tension between the so-called fundamentalists, who asserted the full authority of the Bible and more moderate directions. It was also one of the fundamentalists' leaders, W. J. Bryan, who charged Scopes, who, despite a convincing defense performed in his favor, was convicted of a violation of law. In January 1927, the Tennessee Supreme Court affirmed the laws in question, but annulled the court decision declaring Scope's guilty.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

<h2>Knights of Labor & Industrial Workers of the World</h2>

1. The vision of the country that underlies the preamble to the Knights of Labor's constitution is an egalitarian society where there is fair distribution of wealth among the population.

2. The preamble evokes a hostile, unfavorable, and one-sided historical relationship between business owners and workers, with business owners much more advantaged in the relationship.

3. The principles of social and cultural upliftment of the working man, the demand for the eight-hour day, organizing across lines of gender and race, and the inclusion of both skilled and unskilled labor in its membership were considered revolutionary at the time.  The reason, is that before the 1880s, workers were not organized and did not make conceited demands on their employers.

4. The preamble of the Industrial Workers of the World, the main reasons for workers' lack of political power was hunger, lack of the good things of life, disunity among workers, and the wage system that was totally capitalistic in nature in favor of the employers or business people.

5.  From the excerpt, it shows that the federal government has a great role in promoting a more balance sharing of power and resources between workers and employers by ensuring that workers are granted some say in how their work is organized, how they are rewarded for their work, and the time they must work in order to enjoy some relaxation and to improve their knowledge.  The federal government, must therefore, institute some regulation to ease the relationship between workers and their employers.

6. The IWW was against the modern wage system because the wage system was based on unbridled capitalism, with unjust wage system that paid varying rates for the same work, did not consider the relevant risks, was undemocratic and exploitative, and divided workers by craft, among other reasons.

Explanation:

According to wikipedia.com, "Knights of Labor (K of L), officially Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, was an American labor federation active in the late 19th century, especially the 1880s."

The "Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), byname Wobblies, was a labour organization founded in Chicago in 1905 by representatives of 43 groups. The IWW opposed the American Federation of Labor’s acceptance of capitalism and its refusal to include unskilled workers in craft unions," according to britannica insights.

(worth 30 points)Next Sandra tests the hardness of each mineral by scratching it with different materials as shown in the chart.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Mohs hardness, rough measure of the resistance of a smooth surface to scratching or abrasion, expressed in terms of a scale devised (1812) by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs. The Mohs hardness of a mineral is determined by observing whether its surface is scratched by a substance of known or defined hardness.

Related Topics: hardness

To give numerical values to this physical property, minerals are ranked along the Mohs scale, which is composed of 10 minerals that have been given arbitrary hardness values. The minerals contained in the scale are shown in the Table; also shown are other materials that approximate the hardness of some of the minerals. As is indicated by the ranking in the scale, if a mineral is scratched by orthoclase but not by apatite, its Mohs hardness is between 5 and 6. In the determination procedure it is necessary to be certain that a scratch is actually made and not just a “chalk” mark that will rub off. If the species being tested is fine-grained, friable, or pulverulent, the test may only loosen grains without testing individual mineral surfaces; thus, certain textures or aggregate forms may hinder or prevent a true hardness determination. For this reason the Mohs test, while greatly facilitating the identification of minerals in the field, is not suitable for accurately gauging the hardness of industrial materials such as steel or ceramics. (For these materials a more precise measure is to be found in the Vickers hardness or Knoop hardness) Another disadvantage of the Mohs scale is that it is not linear; that is, each increment of one in the scale does not indicate a proportional increase in hardness. For instance, the progression from calcite to fluorite (from 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale) reflects an increase in hardness of approximately 25 percent; the progression from corundum to diamond, on the other hand (9 to 10 on the Mohs scale), reflects a hardness increase of more than 300 percent.
