Select one:
a.Lending money and charging interest went against a teaching of the Catholic Church and was seen as sinful.
b.Banking began as way for thieves to trick people into giving them their money.
c.People who borrowed money had to go to the ghettos for their banking needs and disliked these slum areas.
d.The activities of bankers were believed to be powered by magic, and the people of Europe were superstitious.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a.Lending money and charging interest went against a teaching of the Catholic Church and was seen as sinful.

Explanation:

Even during the Middle Ages, Jews were a marginalized ethnic group in Europe. They were forced to do many jobs that no one else wanted. One of those jobs is banking. This work in itself implies interest, so the church considered this work a sin. So the Jews did those jobs. Jews also collected taxes in many places. Such prejudices created many prejudices against Jews.

What were some king George's actions?? And what the colonists response?

Answers

Answer:

On October 26, 1775, King George III speaks before both houses of the British Parliament to discuss growing concern about the rebellion in America, which he viewed as a traitorous action against himself and Great Britain. He began his speech by reading a “Proclamation of Rebellion” and urged Parliament to move quickly to end the revolt and bring order to the colonies.

The king spoke of his belief that “many of these unhappy people may still retain their loyalty, and may be too wise not to see the fatal consequence of this usurpation, and wish to resist it, yet the torrent of violence has been strong enough to compel their acquiescence, till a sufficient force shall appear to support them.” With these words, the king gave Parliament his consent to dispatch troops to use against his own subjects, a notion that his colonists believed impossible.

Just as the Continental Congress expressed its desire to remain loyal to the British crown in the Olive Branch Petition, delivered to the monarch on September 1, so George III insisted he had “acted with the same temper; anxious to prevent, if it had been possible, the effusion of the blood of my subjects; and the calamities which are inseparable from a state of war; still hoping that my people in America would have discerned the traitorous views of their leaders, and have been convinced, that to be a subject of Great Britain, with all its consequences, is to be the freest member of any civil society in the known world.” King George went on to scoff at what he called the colonists’ “strongest protestations of loyalty to me,” believing them disingenuous, “whilst they were preparing for a general revolt.”

Unfortunately for George III, Thomas Paine’s anti-monarchical argument in the pamphlet, Common Sense, published in January 1776, proved persuasive to many American colonists. The two sides had reached a final political impasse and the bloody War for Independence soon followed.

On October 25, 1774, the First Continental Congress sends a respectful petition to King George III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule.

Mayor bury versus Madison 1803 was the Supreme Court case that

Answers

Marbury versus Madison 1803 was the Supreme Court case that

Answer:

declared an act of Congress unconstitutional, thereby creating the doctrine of judicial review.

Explanation:

In William Marbury Vs. James Madison case in 1803, the Supreme Court under the Justice John Marshall ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave Marbury the right to take his claim to the Supreme Court was unconstitutional.

The Judicial Act of 1789 was passed by Congress and it broadens the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction beyond what is in Article III Section 2 of the United States Constitution.

Hence, with that development, Justice Marshall created the principle of judicial review, which implies that the Supreme Court has the power to declare a law unconstitutional

What factors would determine if a specific crop could be transplanted into a new region? In other words, what determines which crops went from Europe to the Americas or the other way around?

Answers

Answer:

Terrain, climate, soil properties, and soil water.

Explanation:

Environmental factors such as terrain, climate, soil properties, and soil water are the factors that determine a specific crop could be transplanted into a new region because the crop needs these factors for better growth and development. Climate is the major factor because different plants needs different type of climate so the crop fits only in that climate at which they have tolerance. If a plant have more water requirement does not survive in desert or arid climate.

The method was put forward in Bacon's book Novum Organum (1620), or 'New Method', and was supposed to replace the methods put forward in Aristotle 's Organon.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. It involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments. Scientific inquiry starts with an observation followed by the formulation of a question about what has been observed.

Answers

Answer:

I disagree with the statement that War is the highest form of patriotism.

Explanation:

The reason why i disagree with the statement that war is the highest form of patriotism is the fact that patriotism has to do with ones feelings or love, attachment, commitment for his or her country and war has to do with conflict between two parties which arises as a result of disagreement between them.

Patriotism is driven by someone's love for his  country and true love can not initiate war be it within or outside the country. War can be as a result of someone's selfish interest so going to war does not signifies being patriotic, it can be for a gain.
