Answer:
'Once we were the cradle of European civilization and the first democracy world wide. Once we governed ourselves and ruled each other by reasoning and not by force. Once we were the proud and highly sofisticated center of the world where arcitecture, the arts, science and filosophy flourished. What happened? We lost it to a barbarian empire. It is time to take back our country and give Europe, the young beautiful woman courted by Zeus, back what belongs to her.'
Explanation:
Answer: c. a member of the British Parliament
This quotation argues that the power of absolute monarchs is invested in them by God. Therefore, they have the "divine right" to rule.
The most likely individual to disagree with this statement would be a member of the British Parliament. If kings were indeed like God himself, there would be no need to control or restrict their operations. However, this is the fuction of Parliament. Moreover, Parliament is the way in which common people are represented in government, which would be discouraged if the King had been appointed by divine right.
On the other hand, French aristocrats, bishops, and absolute monarchs are more likely to believe in this position as they benefit from both the monarchy and the interconnection between politics and religion.
Answer:
They passed the Jim Crow Laws.
Explanation:
Jim Crow laws was the widespread unofficial name of laws on racial segregation in some southern states during the post-Reconstruction period, that went from 1890 to 1964.
After the Civil War, which freed blacks from slavery, the federal government took steps to ensure their civil and political rights through the passing of the 13th, 14th, 15th amendments to the Constitution, and Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875. In response, Southern Democrats passed local laws that severely restricted the rights of the black minority, as well as Indians who refused deportation to Oklahoma and remained under the jurisdiction of the US government in the southeastern states.
The beginning of the "Jim Crow Laws" era is considered to be 1890, when racial segregation on the railroad was introduced in Louisiana. By 1915, every southern state had passed laws that established segregation in educational institutions, hotels, shops, restaurants, hospitals, transportation, and toilets. There were also restrictions related to voting: electoral tax and literacy test, which applied only to blacks.
