450 B.C. is when the Romans first code of law was passed around
Act sought to curb the power of Labour unions which had been given greater power under the Wagner act.
Explanation:
Charles Craver explains the intent of Congress to pass the Tart-Hartley Act. It was done to curb the overarching power of the labour unions and labour bosses in a bid to protect the workers. The act was passed by congressmen Fred A Hartley and his republican colleague who have felt the need for curbing the Wagner act which had provided over-arching powers to the labour unions.
Under the Taft-Hartley Act, not only the right of workers to form unions was protected but also member’s right to defy the union leaders to call for territorial strikes or to take harmful action against workers was expanded. In a nutshell, the act cut short the power of the union to subdue the economic growth prospects, profits as well as opportunities of the individual worker.
Theodora
Explanation:
Theodora, (born c. 497 CE—died June 28, 548, Constantinople [now Istanbul, Turkey]), Byzantine empress, wife of the emperor Justinian I (reigned 527–565), probably the most powerful woman in Byzantine history. Her intelligence and political acumen made her Justinian’s most trusted adviser and enabled her to use the power and influence of her office to promote religious and social policies that favoured her interests.
- Theodora exercised considerable influence, and though she was never coregent, her superior intelligence and deft handling of political affairs caused many to think that it was she, rather than Justinian, who ruled Byzantium.
- Her name is mentioned in nearly all the laws passed during that period.Her influence in political affairs was decisive, as illustrated in the Nika revolt of January 532. The two political factions in Constantinople, the Blues and the Greens, united in their opposition to the government and set up a rival emperor. Justinian’s advisers urged him to flee, but Theodora advised him to stay and save his empire, whereupon Justinian’s general, Belisarius, herded the rioters into the Hippodrome and cut them to pieces.
- Theodora is remembered as one of the first rulers to recognize the rights of women, passing strict laws to prohibit the traffic in young girls and altering the divorce laws to give greater benefits to women.
- She spent much of her reign trying to mitigate the laws against the miaphysites. Though she succeeded in ending their persecution in 533, she never succeeded in changing Justinian’s religious policy from its emphasis on orthodoxy and friendship with Rome.
