19. Why did English officials try to establish the Church of England in as many colonies as possible?…
The short yet significant reign of Edward bought with it a series of severe changes to England and all those within it, many of them taking a religious nature. As the once unquestionable authority of the church became challenged by both critics and affiliates alike, England witnessed an almost inevitable reformation. However, the impact on the majority was not necessarily beneficial- as Duffy wrote, the Reformation bought with it an ‘assault on traditional religion’, leaving many men that ‘breathed easier for the accession of a Catholic queen’.…

Religion has served as an influential guide for society throughout its entire existence. Western culture, especially, has been sculpted by the Christian religion, and Christianity has remained a widely practiced religion. In the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, one of Bede’s main intentions is to illustrate the process of the spread of Christianity throughout England since its introduction in 156 (Bede 49). Though Bede doesn’t entirely agree with all of the Celtic people’s views and interpretations about Christianity, he does characterize the Celtic people as a rather accepting people who were an integral part to the spread of Christianity in England.…
In the early Sixteenth Century the Church was an integral part of the European society and the Church’s’ power was virtually absolute. The church stood for justice, supposedly, but many historians argue the Church was corrupt and exploited the people’s religious faith to increase its own wealth.…

The founding fathers' view of King George III is that he is a tyrant because be denied the basic rights of colonists. Patrick Henry said "ours petitions have been slighted; ours remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; ours supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne."Thomas Paine said " Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny has declared that she has a right to not only tax us but to bind us in all cases whatsoever." Thomas Jefferson said "He has refused his Assent to…
Westminster Abbey was established in 960 as a place of worship. An Abbey is traditionally the name of a place set aside to house monks and other religious figures and hold worship events (Palmer, Alan.). It is still used for worship but more famously known for the coronation ceremonies it houses. Over sixty-six people have been coronated at Westminster Abbey since its opening and establishment(Trowles, Tony). Some of the most famous people enthroned in Westminster Abbey include Anne Boleyn, Princess Diana, and the current Queen of England, Elizabeth II. It is expected to be the coronation sight for the coming years as well.…
In Bush v. Gore (2000), a divided Supreme Court ruled that the state of Florida's court-ordered manual recount of vote ballots in the 2000 presidential election was unconstitutional. The case proved to be the climax of the contentious presidential race between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush. The outcome of the election hinged on Florida, where Governor Bush led Vice President Gore by about 1,800 votes the morning after Election Day. Because the returns were so close, Florida law called for an automatic machine recount of ballots. The recount resulted in a dramatic tightening of the race, leaving Bush with a bare 327-vote lead out of almost 6 million ballots cast. With the race so close, Florida law allowed Gore the option of "manual vote recounts" in the counties of his choosing. Gore opted for manual recounts in four counties with widespread complaints of voting machine malfunction: Broward, Miami-Dade, Volusia, and Palm Beach. However, Florida law also required that the state's election results be certified by the Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, within seven days of the election (by November 14, 2000). Three of the four counties, frantically laboring through the tedious manual recount, were unable to complete the process by the deadline. On November 14, however, a Florida circuit court ruled that while Secretary Harris must respect the deadline, she could legally amend the certified results, at her own discretion, to reflect any late returns from the outstanding counties. Harris promptly announced that she would entertain late returns only if their tardiness was justified by each county in writing by 2 p.m. the following day (November 15). The three outstanding counties-Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward-immediately sent an explanation for the delay. Secretary Harris, however, rejected their explanations and announced that the final Florida vote count would be announced Saturday,…

In Bouriana Zakharieva’s essay, Frankenstein of the Nineties: The Composite Body, Kenneth Branagh’s 1994 film version of Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein is discussed and examined in relation to its literary counterpart. A more recent film that seems to parallel the novel is Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 film, Jurassic World. The film is about a theme park that has created a genetically modified, hybrid dinosaur called the Indominus Rex. There are many similarities between the film and Shelley’s nightmarish story, one is the motif of science versus nature and the unnatural creation of life by scientists. With the “progress” of technology our culture reflects the fear of creating our own destruction. Jurassic World is a modern Frankenstein formed…
