Answer:
Explanation:
1. Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Led by a young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott lasted more than a year—during which Parks not coincidentally lost her job—and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, Parks became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation.
2. Sedition Act of 1870 contradict the rule of law in the following ways: (a) Under this rule, people were arrested without being told the reason for their arrest. (b) This was an example of use of powers by the British as it authorized them to arrest the person without any evidence who was possibly seen as a rebellion.
3. 1. This act allowed the government to arrest any person without of being a fair trial in the court who was seen protesting the British authority. 2. It was an arbitrary use of power by British as they were authorized to arrest any person who has been seen as stirring up a rebellion.
4. Fossil fuel, CNG, coal, oil, natural gas are the examples of the conventional sources of energy. Non-conventional energy sources do not increase pollution. The main difference between conventional and non conventional sources of energy is that the former is non renewable and the later is renewable.
5. Under British rule, the functions and powers of the tribal chiefs changed considerably. They were allowed to keep their land titles over a cluster of villages and rent outlands, but they lost much of their administrative power and were forced to follow laws made by the British officials in India.
