.... humanists studied the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible and read the Church Fathers so that they could further understand Christianity and restore its moral vitality. They generally regarded universities as centers of pedantic, monkish, and “scholastic” learning. These universities gave little interest to experimental science or even literary studies. The Italian humanists wrote in Latin, but often complained that it had become monkish, “scholastic”, and in some ways useless. The schools in Italy preferred the more classical style of Cicero or Livy. Francesco Petrarca, or Petra .....

.... what to admit as evidence. He used that power whenever he sought fit. When Giles Corey lacks the evidence to prove that Thomas Putnam hath prompted his daughter to falsely cry witchery on George Jacobs, Danforth dismisses the claim. Why you say? The lack of tangible evidence, yet when the young harlots claimed that invisible spirits of Salem community members attacked them, Danforth used it as evidence, that proved to be damning. Hypocrisy, like this, in the judicial system is inexcusable. Lastly, Judge Danforth hath condemned people before they were allowed trial. The accused witches w .....

.... treatment, which resulted in death through illness, starvation, beatings, or execution.

.... Many times when the soldiers left their barracks and were walking about the town, carried large clubs, for the purpose of assaulting the people. Many would say that the colonists had every right to be mad and irritated. But what about the soldiers. They were just taking commands from the country that they are defending and fighting for. To them they were just doing the right thing. But we all know that they went to extremes by the frequent wounding of persons by their bayonets and cutlasses, and the numerous instances of bad behavior in the soldiery. This also led the colonists .....

Article 3 however did not specify however if federal money would be given to the schools for use, nor did it specify if African-Americans could attend schools with whites' and although it the separation of church and state had been previously outlined, the Ordinance did not mention if it was ok to teach creationism in schools.
