- 25381: Johann Sebastian Bach
- ... Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany on March 21, 1685. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a talented violinist, and taught his son the basic skills for string playing; another relation, the organist at Eisenach's most important church, instructed the young boy on the organ. In 1695 his parents died and he was only 10 years old. He went to go stay with his older brother, Johann Christoph, who was a professional organist at Ohrdruf. Johann Christoph was a professional organist, and continued his younger brother's education on that instrument, as well as on the harpsichord. After several years in this arrangement, Johann Sebastian won a scholarship to study in Luneberg, Northern Germany, and so left his brother's tutelage. A master of several instruments while still in his teens, Johann Sebastian first found employment at the age of 18 as a "lackey and violinist" in a court orchestra in Weimar; soon after, ...
- 25382: The Protestant Reformation
- The Protestant Reformation The Protestant Reformation may be considered to have started with Martin Luther's writing of the 95 Theses in 1517. Luther was not the first to question certain doctrines of the Catholic Church, but he served as a focal point for those who would ultimately work to throw off the domination of Rome. The reformation was primarily a religious revival and a revival in the interest of Christ's life, which turned out to start many bloody wars between different religious sects. At the time when he first began to push the idea that salvation was by faith alone and not by works, Germany was politically falling apart. The Emperor was in frequent disagreement with the Papacy over a variety of political matters, and there were intermittent wars with France. When Luther's ideas began to spread, they found fertile ground in Germany, and were protected in part because of the political climate. Both the Papacy and the King of France would be stern upholders of traditional ...
- 25383: Genghis Khan Destined To Be A
- ... Eventually his alliance with Toghril dissipated and he also took over the powerful Keriet tribe. This event caused him to be in direct competition for ruling power with his former ally Jamuka. Many of Jamuka’s men deserted him for Temujin who they believed to be the true winner and wiser more powerful leader. This desertion resulted in Jamuka being outnumbered and the result was an easy victory. So, in 1206 ... without supply trains to support them. The challenge of survival created a system of complete dependence on their horses. Small packets of dried meat were laid under the saddles to soften, and rations of mare’s milk butter were kept in the men’s jackets.

- 25385: Auschwitz 2
- How could all this have happened? This is one of the many questions associated with the Holocaust. The Third Reich of no doubt on of the world s largest and most feared empires. It could have easily overthrown the Roman Empire and was the most worthy adversary of the British Empire. The most overwhelming and terrifying aspect of the Second World War has got to be the ghettos, concentration camps and of course the death camps. The camp that stands out in everybody s mind has got to be Auschwitz. Out of the 6.8 million killed there were 6000 killed at Auschwitz a day. What some people may not know is that Auschwitz was actually three camps fused ...

- 25386: Outdoors Or TV?
- ... and have been burglarizing houses and stores. One reason why I think kids are becoming more violent and committing crimes is because, they sit in front of the stupid TV all day long. They don't spend enough time outdoors, hunting, fishing, surfing, and doing all those fun exciting things. The outdoors offers so much to do and takes your mind off reality and into the fun world. When you are outdoors you are free as a bird and there aren't too many rules. The one rule I go by is; “have fun.” When you're outdoors you don't have to think about being robbed or hurt by crazy people because, they stay in the city. If you are outdoors you can't watch TV. That means that there would be fewer kids ...

- 25388: Wicca
- ... as if it is weird for people to practice Nature Religion, but after reading many things about Wicca, I thought their religion was actually very similar to those known world-wide. We cannot hold people's religions against them because we are afraid of it. It their way of living, it is their culture, thus we should respect their religions as they respect ours. There are many rituals that Wiccans perform in order to "worship" their Nature god. One would be dancing around naked to cleanse themselves of the impurities of the technological world. Another would be drinking of each other's blood to become one. Unlike many other religions, Wiccans' ceremonies are usually conducted by women, called Priesteses, but their men who perform these ceremonies as well. The media makes Wiccan's look bad. For example, the movie the Craft is over exaggerated. Wiccan's do not use their powers, or do magic to harm other people. They use the magic they have to either heal ...

The issue of the stability of the Union was at stake - if the court chose to allow the states to have more say than the federal government, the country's internal structure would collapse. However, due to the Negro-Seamen Act in South Carolina and the fear of slaves being freed by an all-powerful Congress, Chief Justice John Marshall was faced with his choice ... Act was in conflict with the Federal Coasting Act, and thus, the New York law had to be repealed.

The situation leading to the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court began ... this danger, the Supreme Court had yet another reason to prevent the New York law from continuing any further damage. This could be reinforced by the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section VIII, Paragraph 3. U.S. Constitution), which stated that Congress was the presiding power over the Economy. Yet, this plan proposed even further difficulties. The actual Commerce Clause was relatively vague, and thus, open to the interpretation of many. ...
- 25390: Gideon Vs. Wainwright
- ... Constitution, it had held, did not guarantee free counsel to all felony defendants that are unable to retain their own. Since1942, when Betts v. Brady was decided by a divided Court, the problem of defendant’s federal constitutional right to counsel in a state court has been a continuing source of controversy and litigation in both state and federal courts. Since Gideon was proceeding without funds, it gave the Justice a chance to think about the constitution. He appointed a counsel to represent him and requested both sides to discuss in their briefs and oral arguments. Should this Court’s holding in Betts v. Brady be reconsidered?” PRECEDENTS The Supreme Court first dealt with the issue in 1932, in the Scottsboro Case, POWELL v. ALABAMA. DUE PROCESS OF LAW required al least a “hearing,” Justice ...
