Answer:

The period known as the Middle Ages stands out as one­ of ­the most violent eras in history. This epoch, lasting roughly 1,0­00­ years, from the fifth century to the 15th­, was a time of great inequality and brutality in much of Europe.

Torturers seemed to reserve special horrors for women. Surprisingly, few torturers had­ any reservations about torturing women -- in fact, women-only tortures often seemed especially cruel and were designed to destroy specific aspects of femininity. In medieval England, differing torture practices were virtually codified: male criminals were hanged, while women faced the "drowning pits".

The practice of torturing women sexually extends back to Roman times (and surely even before then). Female victims were given to soldiers to be raped, or sent to brothels. They might be tied up or paraded through public streets naked. These public humiliations were sometimes followed by bizarre sexual mutilations. Torturers had a strange fixation on breasts, which were burned, branded or simply amputated. Worst of all was a device known as the Breast Ripper. It was a metal claw that pierced the flesh of the breast. The victim was tied to a wall, and then the claw pulled forcibly away, shredding the breast to pieces [source: Medieval Times & Castles]. It was used as both a method of punishment and interrogation — to mark the breasts of unmarried mothers and mutilate women convicted of heresy, adultery and a host of other crimes.

Answer:

Torture in the Medieval Inquisition began in 1252 with a papal bull Ad Extirpanda and ended in 1816 when another papal bull forbade its use. Although the torture that was sanctioned by the bull was less severe than the torture that could be found in contemporary secular courts.

Which is NOT a God-given right? Liberty pursuit of happiness life wealth liberty pursuit of happiness life wealth
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Wealth

Explanation:

Among the listed option in this question which is not a God-given right is "Wealth."

This is evident in some of the philosophical works during the middle ages till the time when the American colonies and the French Revolution were occurring.

For example, in the Declaration of Independence, it was noted that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

And the fact that not everybody can get wealth, while everybody has inherent access to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Hence, the correct answer is "WEALTH."

Answer:

Freedom Summer, also known as the Freedom Summer Project or the Mississippi Summer Project, was a volunteer campaign in the United States launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many African-American voters as possible in Mississippi. Blacks had been restricted from voting since the turn of the century due to barriers to voter registration and other laws. The project also set up dozens of Freedom Schools, Freedom Houses, and community centers in small towns throughout Mississippi to aid the local Black population.
