How did peter the great abuse his power?

History

Veronika [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Many monarchs throughout history have killed family members. England’s Henry VIII, for example, beheaded two wives and several cousins. Cleopatra engineered the murder of two siblings (one of whom was also her husband). And Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, ordered the execution of his half-brother from a Spanish prison. But even those royals might have been aghast at the actions of Russian czar Peter the Great, who in 1718 had his eldest son tortured to death for allegedly conspiring against him.

Peter I, better known as Peter the Great, is generally credited with bringing Russia into the modern age. During his time as czar, from 1682 until his death in 1725, he implemented a variety of reforms that included revamping the Russian calendar and alphabet and reducing the Orthodox Church’s autonomy. Peter even instituted a tax on beards as part of his efforts to make Russians look and act more like Western Europeans.

Does the segregation of Mexican-American public school children in the absence of a state law mandating their segregation violat
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Segregation of Mexican American children in schools would violate both California Law and Federal Law.

Explanation:

In Mendez vs Westminster, the Supreme Court ruled, 8 years before Brown vs Board of Education, that segregated schools were unequal. The Court primarily relied on evidence that Mexican American children were having problems to learn english because of lack of exposure.

In Brown vs Board of Education, the SCOTUS finally prohibited segregated schools accross the United States, because the Court considered that said schools were inherently unequal even if they equal in quality (facilities, teachers, materials), thus, they were a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Segregated schools are forbidden by law in any state.

Why did the United States take its Great
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

I believe it is either

A-) to show the nations of the world that they had a protector, or

B-) to show the nations of the world that it was better to be a friend of the U.S. and not an enemy

Explanation:

The fleet intended to demonstrate American naval power was impressive, but technically outdated. When the HMS Dreadnought was launched on February 10, 1906, the prototype for the next generation of battleships, the large combat ship, was already in use, and the first US dreadnought ship, the USS South Carolina, was just being equipped. The two oldest ships in the fleet, the USS Kearsarge and the USS Kentucky, were out of date and no longer fit for combat, and two other battleships, the USS Maine and the USS Alabama, had to be replaced in San Francisco due to technical difficulties.
