Answer: am not sure this is the answer but try it
Explanation:I seek no confrontation. I only pray and will strive for a genuine national reconciliation founded on justice.
I am prepared for the worst, and have decided against the advice of my mother, my spiritual adviser, many of my tested friends and a few of my most valued political mentors.
A death sentence awaits me. Two more subversion charges, both calling for death penalties, have been filed since I left three years ago and are now pending with the courts.
I could have opted to seek political asylum in America, but I feel it is my duty, as it is the duty of every Filipino, to suffer with his people especially in time of crisis.
I never sought nor have I been given assurances or promise of leniency by the regime. I return voluntarily armed only with a clear conscience and fortified in the faith that in the end justice will emerge triumphant.
According to Gandhi, the willing sacrifice of the innocent is the most powerful answer to insolent tyranny that has yet been conceived by God and man.
Three years ago when I left for an emergency heart bypass operation, I hoped and prayed that the rights and freedoms of our people would soon be restored, that living conditions would improve and that blood-letting would stop.
Rather than move forward, we have moved backward. The killings have increased, the economy has taken a turn for the worse and the human rights situation has deteriorated.
During the martial law period, the Supreme Court heard petitions for Habeas Corpus. It is most ironic, after martial law has allegedly been lifted, that the Supreme Court last April ruled it can no longer entertain petitions for Habeas Corpus for persons detained under a Presidential Commitment Order, which covers all so-called national security cases and which under present circumstances can cover almost anything.
The country is far advanced in her times of trouble. Economic, social and political problems bedevil the Filipino. These problems may be surmounted if we are united. But we can be united only if all the rights and freedoms enjoyed before September 21, 1972 are fully restored.
The Filipino asks for nothing more, but will surely accept nothing less, than all the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the 1935 Constitution—the most sacred legacies from the Founding Fathers.
Yes, the Filipino is patient, but there is a limit to his patience. Must we wait until that patience snaps?
The nation-wide rebellion is escalating and threatens to explode into a bloody revolution. There is a growing cadre of young Filipinos who have finally come to realize that freedom is never granted, it is taken. Must we relive the agonies and the blood-letting of the past that brought forth our Republic or can we sit down as brothers and sisters and discuss our differences with reason and goodwill?
I have often wondered how many disputes could have been settled easily had the disputants only dared to define their terms.
So as to leave no room for misunderstanding, I shall define my terms:
1. Six years ago, I was sentenced to die before a firing squad by a Military Tribunal whose jurisdiction I steadfastly refused to recognize. It is now time for the regime to decide. Order my IMMEDIATE EXECUTION OR SET ME FREE.
I was sentenced to die for allegedly being the leading communist leader. I am not a communist, never was and never will be.
2. National reconciliation and unity can be achieved but only with justice, including justice for our Muslim and Ifugao brothers. There can be no deal with a Dictator. No compromise with Dictatorship.
3. In a revolution there can really be no victors, only victims. We do not have to destroy in order to build.
4. Subversion stems from economic, social and political causes and will not be solved by purely military solutions; it can be curbed not with ever increasing repression but with a more equitable distribution of wealth, more democracy and more freedom, and
5. For the economy to get going once again, the workingman must be given his just and rightful share of his labor, and to the owners and managers must be restored the hope where there is so much uncertainty if not despair.
On one of the long corridors of Harvard University are carved in granite the words of Archibald Macleish:
“How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by authoritarian dogma. Always, and in the final act, by determination and faith.”
I return from exile and to an uncertain future with only determination and faith to offer—faith in our people and faith in God.

Under the caste system,all people in India:A:were equal under the law B:had a chance becoming rich C:had served in the mi military D:were stuck in certain social classes
Answer:
D. Were stuck in certain social classes.
Explanation:
Under the caste system, all people in India were stuck in certain social classes.
The Indian people were stuck in certain social classes (castes) because they were born into it. The only way one could have progressed up the caste system was by adhering to the rules of their caste, and then hopefully, they would be born into a higher caste in their next life. The caste system is closely connected to Hinduism, and the belief of reincarnation.
This caste system was composed of:
Brahmins - Religious leaders & educators
Kshatriyas - Ruling class & warriors
Vaishyas - Merchants
Shudras - Artisans
__
Dalits/Untouchables - Lowest of the low, really not even included in the caste system

Answer:
D
Explanation:
Took the test
He believed he had been cheated out of the presidency and a position in John Quincy Adam’s administration in a “Corrupt Bargain” to increase Andrew Jackson’s determination to become president. Thus, option (d) is correct.
The House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson in the 1824 presidential election despite Jackson receiving more popular support than electoral votes.
It was widely believed that Adams appointed Clay to the position of Secretary of State after Adams persuaded Congress to elect him. Jackson's followers called this a "corrupt bargain," and Jackson pledged to triumph the next time.
Therefore, option (d) is correct.

which most directly contributed to the decision in philadelphia referenced in the excerpt to build a specific meeting house for the new preachers
"In 1739 arrived among us from Ireland the Reverend Mr. Whitefield, who had made himself remarkable there as [a traveling] preacher. He was at first permitted to preach in some of our churches; but the clergy, taking a dislike to him, soon refused him their pulpits, and he was obliged to preach in the fields. The multitudes of all [members of different religious groups] that attended his sermons were enormous, and it was a matter of speculation to me . . . to observe the extraordinary influence of his oratory on his hearers, and how much they admired and respected him. . . . It was wonderful to see the change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seemed as if all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk through the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street.
"And it being found inconvenient to assemble in the open air, subject to its [harsh conditions], the building of a house to meet in was no sooner proposed . . . and the work [of erecting the building] was carried on with such spirit as to be finished in a much shorter time than could have been expected. Both house and ground were vested in trustees, expressly for the use of any preacher of any religious persuasion who might desire to say something to the people at Philadelphia."
Benjamin Franklin, from his autobiography, describing events in 1739

Answer:
Scientists have been pondering two possible routes for decades. One crawls along the Pacific Coast, weaving between the islands of southern Alaska; the other slips between two giant ice sheets, much further east and inland. In order to help figure out how plausible the first route is, a team of scientists wanted to measure how long ago ice sheets retreated from the coastline—and now they've done just that, as they report in a new paper published in the journal Science Advances. The new research suggests the route would have been accessible about 17,000 years ago.
