*Medal Awarded* How did the Magna Carta influence the United States Bill of Rights?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not american, so I barely know about the United States Bill of Rights; So I need a little help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Magna Carta was used for influential purposes when the signing of the bill was done. The signers looked at what the Magna Carta listed as rights of the people and they looked for ideas through it.

@emilysheeran17 & @Jasmineflvs Can you help me in another question I've got? It's the last one :) "Describe the cultural contributions of the Byzantine Empire"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well there are many Byzantine culture never ceased to develop and to innovate, and this is certainly true of its cuisine. Among favored game were the gazelles of inland Anatolia, and wild asses, of which herds were maintained in imperial parks. The seafood most appreciated by the Byzantines was botargo (salted mullet roe), and by the twelfth century they were familiar with caviar. Fruits largely unknown to the ancient world but appreciated in Constantinople included the aubergine (eggplant), lemons (via Armenia and Georgia), and the orange. The Byzantines were the first to try rosemary as a flavoring for roast lamb; they first used saffron in cookery. These aromatics, well known in the ancient world, had not previously been thought of as food ingredients.

Preservation of Roman and Greek Culture - When the Roman Empire in the West collapsed in 476, many libraries and places of learning were destroyed in the chaos and much of the knowledge that had been gained under the Greek and Roman civilizations was lost. However the eastern half of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine, survived. As a result the Byzantine served to preserve much of the Greek and Roman advancements for Western Europe. Most significant was the preservation of Roman law by Emperor Justinian, the Byzantine's greatest emperor. Justinian codified and deciphered the Roman law codes and also expanded upon the existing codes. As a result, these law codes were preserved and have become the basis for the legal systems of many Western countries.
