Why did Julius Caesar make so many enemies in the Senate?
Rerum
CAN SOMEONE HELP
Answer:
by practically rejecting a senatorial gift and not acknowledging the delegation's presence with proper etiquette, Caesar gave the strong impression that he no longer cared about the Senate., Caesar accused the tribunes of attempting to create opposition to him, and had them removed from office and membership in the Senate. The Roman plebs took their tribunes seriously as the representatives of the common people; Caesar's actions against the tribunes put him on the wrong side of public opinion.
Explanation:
The first incident took place in December 45 BC or possibly early 44 BC.[3] According to Roman historian Cassius Dio, after the Senate had voted to bestow a large group of honours upon Caesar, they decided to present them to him formally, and marched as a senatorial delegation to the Temple of Venus Genetrix.[4] When they arrived, etiquette called for Caesar to stand up to greet the senators, but he did not rise. He also joked about their news, saying that his honours needed to be cut back instead of increased.[5] Roman historian Suetonius wrote (almost 150 years later) that Caesar failed to rise in the temple, either because he was restrained by the consul Lucius Cornelius Balbus or that he balked at the suggestion he should rise.[6] Regardless of the reasoning, by practically rejecting a senatorial gift and not acknowledging the delegation's presence with proper etiquette, Caesar gave the strong impression that he no longer cared about the Senate.[5]

Supreme Court Case: (United States v. Lopez (1995))
1. Identify the plaintiff and defendant in the case.
2. Explain why the case was brought to the Court.
3. Describe the goal of each side in the case. Why was the case brought to the Court, and what type of decision was desired?
Constitutional Connections:
4. Explain the key rights or amendments involved in the case.
5. Did the case primarily center on an issue of civil rights or civil liberties? Explain.
Case Outcomes:
6. Describe the majority decision of the Court and several arguments as to why the justices ruled the way they did.
7. If there was one dissenting decision of the Court, explain it in detail. Why did some justices disagree with the majority?
8. What was the precedent set by the decision of the Court? What impact did it have on American society?
Explanation:
1. In the Supreme Court Case: (the United States v. Lopez (1995) the plaintiff was Alfonso Lopez, and the defendant was the federal government (the United States).
2. The case brought to court because Mr. Lopez was found guilty and sentenced by a Texas court because he brought a firearm into school premises, which violated the Gun-Free Zone Act of 1990, a federal offense.
3. The goal of the defendants was to argue that the federal government overstepped its authority by applying the Gun-Free Schools Act law to the state and that the Gun-Free Schools Zone Act was a criminal law that was not under the Commerce Clause of the constitution. In other words, he was convicted using federal law even though schools were supposed to be controlled by their state laws; thus, they wanted the sentencing overturned.
4. The bill of rights amendment 2 and amendment 10 were involved in the case. In other words, "the Right to Bear Arms" and the power of the state not granted to the federal government was involved.
5. The case centers on civil rights, considering the fact it involved seeking a fair trial; as the accused felt the law used to charge him was unlawfully used.
6. Chief Justice William Rehnquist who supported the majority decision said, “The possession of a gun in a local school zone is in no sense an economic activity...and there is no requirement that his possession of the firearm have any concrete tie to interstate commerce. "
In other words, the Commerce clause did not apply here, as Lopez's possession of a gun had nothing to do with commerce so as to warrant the federal government's involvement in the case.
7. The decision was a 5-4 decision by the justices. It seems some justices still felt that the Act did not violate the Constitution. The 4 who voted against were of the opinion that the federal government (Congress) still has the authority under the constitution to apply the Act to states.
8. The case has been a precedent to show that it is unlawful for the federal government to overstep its authority when the constitution doesn't allow that. The impact of the case has reechoed the importance of the separation of powers in American society.
Answer:
1. Identify the plaintiff and defendant in the case.
The plaintiff is Otis McDonald and the defendant is the City of Chicago.
2. Explain why the case was brought to the Supreme Court.
This case was brought to the Supreme Court in 2008, when Otis McDonald, a retired custodian sued the city of Chicago to question the validity of a 1982 Chicago law, which banned the registration of handguns and required registration as a prerequisite of possession of a firearm.
3. Describe the goal of each side in the case. Why was the case brought to the court, and what type of decision was desired?
The goal of the defendant was to argue that states should have the authority over firearm regulation. The goal of McDonald’s argument was that the Second Amendment protects the rights of American citizens, which the states should not abridge. The type of decision desired was the court ruling in favor of McDonald and the principles of the Second Amendment.
4. Explain the key rights or amendments involved in the case.
The key right involved in this case is the right of a person to carry a firearm; the amendments involved in this case are the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. The Second Amendment emphasizes the right of an individual to “keep and bear arms”, which is incorporated in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
5. Did the case primarily center on an issue of civil rights or liberties, or does it primarily center on other issues? Explain.
This case primarily centers on an issue of civil liberties because it debates whether or not a person could bear a firearm on his or her own right; without interference from the state, in which that person lives in.
6. Describe the majority decision of the court and several arguments as to why the justices ruled the way they did.
The Supreme Court ruled, in a 5-4 decision, that the Second Amendment’s principle, which is under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, applies mainly applies to all federal, state, and local governments; ergo ruling in favor of McDonald.
7. If there was one dissenting decision of the court, explain it in detail. Why did some justices disagree with the majority?
One dissenting decision of the court was made by judges Stephan Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor was that the jury’s “historical analysis was flawed and that historical evidence bearing upon the federal character of a ‘private armed self -defense right’ was unclear at best” (Britannica).
8. What precedent was set by the court’s decision? What impact did it have on US society?
The precedent that was set by the court’s decision was that a person’s right to own a firearm should not be infringed upon by federal, state, and local governments. This case impacted the United States society by changing the long-held concepts of federalism.

which of the following were skills developed by the maya
Answer:
The ancient Maya, a diverse group of indigenous people who lived in parts of present-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, had one of the most sophisticated and complex civilizations in the Western Hemisphere. Between about 300 and 900 A.D., the Maya were responsible for a number of remarkable scientific achievements–in astronomy, agriculture, engineering and communications.
The Ancient Maya
Mayan civilization lasted for more than 2,000 years, but the period from about 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., known as the Classic Period, was its heyday. During that time, the Maya developed a complex understanding of astronomy. They also figured out how to grow corn, beans, squash and cassava in sometimes-inhospitable places; how to build elaborate cities without modern machinery; how to communicate with one another using one of the world’s first written languages; and how to measure time using not one but two complicated calendar systems.

How were the these immigrants from the late 19th/early 20th centuries different from earlier immigrants
Answer:
Historically, the United States was a receiving country for migrants from different corners of the planet. However, the migratory streams that arrived in the country did not always have the same characteristics. Thus, the first waves of migrants that came to the nation came from England, while the colonies that were established in the territory belonged to that nation, as well as smaller waves of Germans, Irish and Scots.
However, the migratory waves of the late 19th and early 20th centuries had very different characteristics: it was no longer a cultural or religious migration, but a purely economic one, given that migrants came to the United States seeking to escape the poverty of their countries. Thus, these migrants came especially from nations such as Italy, Ireland or Poland, places that were in situations of poverty and economic need at the time.

What is Voltaire’s point of view? What would Voltaire recommend if you were on a deserted island and trying to form a government?
Answer:
Explanation:
Voltaire believed above all in the efficacy of reason. He believed social progress could be achieved through reason and that no authority—religious or political or otherwise—should be immune to challenge by reason. He emphasized in his work the importance of tolerance, especially religious tolerance. According to Voltaire the best government would be a constitutional monarchy because it offered justice, a sense of stability and restricted powers of the monarch as guided by a constitution.
Voltaire trusted in the power of reason. He thought that reason might be used to advance society and that no authority, whether it be religious, political, or otherwise, should be impervious to the power of reason. In his writing, he underlined the value of tolerance, particularly religious tolerance.
What is Voltaire’s point of view?Voltaire firmly believed in the authority of reason. He believed that the force of reason might be employed to progress society and that no authority, whether it be political, religious, or otherwise, should be immune to its influence.
He was typically in favour of religious tolerance and freedom of thought. He supported a constitutional monarchy that respected citizens' rights and called for the abolishment of the priestly and aristocratic classes.
Thus, Voltaire trusted in the power of reason.
