What did the passage of the homestead act of 1862 and the pacific railway act demonstrate about the federal government?
a. it was committed to settling the western territories.
b. it was concerned about conserving natural resources.
c. it was unwilling to move american indian tribes to reservations.
d. it was determined to break up business trusts harmful to free enterprise.

A. It was committed to settling the western territories.

Explanation:

Both Acts passed in 1862 were pointed to settle the western territories. The Homestead Act focused on the families, it granted 160 acres of public land to each family who stayed in there for 5 years.

The Pacific Railway Act did something similar but was focused on the enterprise rather than in families. By this act, the government granted territory to the railway company that builds a "transcontinental railroad".

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
