In what ways was the Gilded Age “the best of times”?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  

In United States history, the term Gilded Age denotes a period in the late 19th century, from the 1870s to about 1900. The Gilded Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the Northern and Western United States. As American wages grew much higher than those in Europe, especially for skilled workers, the period saw an influx of millions of European immigrants.

Why might the Church be concerned about a heliocentric explanation of the universe? Why was the church concerned about scientific theories

Answers

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

Why might the Church be concerned about a heliocentric explanation of the universe?

Because in those Middle Ages times, the Catholic Church was so powerful and forced people to believe only what the church said. The high clergy of the church punished people who dared to think otherwise under the justification that no human could be against the will of God. Those were the obscure and horrible times of the inquisition.

The Church saw the heliocentric view of the solar system as a challenge to its authority because the heliocentric view, if correct, might mean God did not put humans at the center of the universe. And that would mean losing its power.

That is why the church was concerned about scientific theories such as the Heliocentric Theory, developed by Nicolaus Copernicus.

The church did not want the scientific method to explain the natural phenomena that had been attributed to the glory of God. And that was exactly what science did, to prove the church wrong with ideas such as that it was the Earth and other planets the ones that revolved around the Sun.

Explanation:

“The normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom. That as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national [western] territory, ordained that ‘no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law,’ it becomes our duty by legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States.”

Question: Republicans asserted that political leaders could not “give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States” in order to express opposition against the

a
removal of American Indians from their homelands
b
idea of popular sovereignty exemplified by the Kansas-Nebraska Act
c

d

Answers

The Republicans argued that in giving the people to choice to be a slave state, Congress was providing slavery with a chance to legally exist in a territory which was wrong.
