Agata [3.3K]

If you look in the picture, you can see that the octopus (representing Standard Oil Company) has its tentacles wrapped around different federal buildings including the State capitol, Congress, and is soon to be taking control of the White House. This symbolism is trying to show that this company has controll over the federal government and that it cannot be stopped. This author is definitely painting the Standard Oil Company in a negative light.

What was the purpose of the Inquisition?
AlekseyPX

Answer: Stop the spread of ideas considered heretical.

Explanation:

It was represented throughout the Middle Ages in many European countries, and even later, to a lesser extent in the new century. Its function is to deal with Christian non-believers, and anyone who is thought to defame the church and its teaching in any way. The most famous was the Spanish Inquisition, which stood out for its brutality and intensity.

The Spanish Inquisition was the most brutal for the reason that Muslims lived in the Spanish neighborhood for a specified period. For this reason, they often initiated inquisitorial procedures to let their people know what would happen to them if they "converted". The Inquisition had various techniques and devices for the torture of all those considered heretics. Of the gadgets, we can point out the Iron Maiden, the Copper Taurus, the Straw, the Pillar of Shame, and many others.
