Answer:

In 1215, King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Carta stating that the king was not above the law of the land and protecting the rights of the people. Today, the Magna Carta is considered one of the most important documents in the history of democracy. Magna Carta was sealed by King John on 15 June 1215. The document was drawn up after his barons rebelled and forced him to agree to limitations on his power because he had demanded heavy taxes to fund his unsuccessful wars in France.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

I tend to side with those who think civil liberties are extremely important; they are almost written in stone. They were put in the constitution to protect citizens from governments misusing their power. The government is so much more power than any one person and perhaps any one group. Moreover, they make the laws. The Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) are meant to make sure citizens at least have the opportunity to exercise those rights.

However there are times when the rights go a little to far. Numerous times since 1968, introduced various proposals that attempted to protect the rights of the American Flag. On those occasions either congress or the Supreme Court protected the individual by saying burning the flag comes under the First Amendment -- freedom of expression.

My own opinion is that many people have died defending the flag. I don't know that free speech is more powerful than the right to burn a sacred symbol. I think there are limits to free speech.

What evidence of the effects of colonization in the Americans can you see today?
mestny [16]

Colonization ruptured many ecosystems, bringing in new organisms while eliminating others. The Europeans brought many diseases with them that decimated Native American populations. Colonists and Native Americans alike looked to new plants as possible medicinal resources.

They invaded the land of the native americans, treating them in an unfriendly and violent manner when they arrived. The effects of colonization on the native populations in the New World were mistreatment of the natives, harsh labor for them, and new ideas about religion for the spaniards.
