What reforms did Theodosius?
In 380 the co-emperors Theodosius and Gratian issued the Edict of Thessalonica which made mainstream Christianity (the Latin and Greek Churches, which later came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively) the sole legitimate religion of the empire. Christianity became state religion ad was officially endorsed by the Roman state. The object of the edict was to ban the many dissident Christian doctrines which were branded heretic. The main target was Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire and which was persecuted. Thus, the edict also promoted greater uniformity among the Christians. Theodosius persecuted the Arians. Theodosius also introduced further laws which banned the institutions and practices of Roman religion which had not already been banned by previous Christian emperors. This made practicing this religion virtually fully illegal. Theodosius persecuted the pagans. He either ordered the destruction of pagan temples, shrines and statues or condoned such destructions by Christian monks and zealots. In some parts of the empire there were also forced conversions. These persecutions weakened pagan religions and further favoured the spread of Christianity.
How did Nicholas II justify his power to arbitrarily and unconstitutionally change laws?
Nicholas II was descended from the long line of Romanov Tsars who exercised autocratic rule from the throne. Even though it was the nineteenth century, the Tsars were still considered almost divinely inspired by the peasant populace. He was not a capable ruler and dwelt on minor details of his personal life rather than affairs of the state. Within his circle of family and ministers he could exert authority (except that at one time his wife Alexandra actually said that she "wears the trousers"). Nicholas was completely out of touch with the country and felt the people would follow his every whim and edict simply out of love and reverence for his position as Tsar. He was wrong on both counts. As to constitutionality, since there was no constitution, he wasn't bound by any such notion.
Who was Eunice Kennedy Shriver?
She was the sister of John F. Kennedy and the mother of Maria Shriver, who is the first lady of California. Eunice Shriver started the Special Olympics because of her sister, who was developmentally disabled. When Eunice and her siblings were young, it was customary to keep such family members out of public view, because of a mistaken sense of shame. I believe this was the edict of their father, Joseph Kennedy. When Maria's father passed away, the rest of the family included their sister in family activities until she was older and not in good physical health. Eunice especially wanted for all people with developmental disabilities to have the experiences of other children, to try to encourage them to do their best, and to increase their self-esteem. She worked tirelessly with her husband, Sargent Shriver, her daughter Maria, and all the extended Kennedy clan. She has made a huge difference in the lives of these people. Special Olympics continues to grow, and I'm sure her daughter, Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger, will continue, with the rest of the family, to carry on her mother's good work.
What is a political cartoon of 'Antigone'?
That a niece breaks her uncle's law, gets sentenced to death, hangs herself, and is vindicated by the reversal of her uncle's law and by his overthrow is the summary of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. In so doing, she chooses to comply with divine will that all Thebans receive below ground burials. But at the same time, she contradicts the non-burial edict that her uncle King Creon issues regarding the exposure of the bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. She gets caught and is sentenced to death by live burial and starvation. But she hangs herself rather than draw out the death agony. Prince Haemon, Antigone's first cousin and husband-to-be, is distraught when he finds Antigone dead and kills himself with his own sword. Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Creon's wife, kills herself with a sharp knife. Creon loses everything and everyone that gives his life meaning even though he backs down, has Polyneices buried and plans to release Antigone.
