Answer 1

Here are the answers:

Question 1
- Protection from excessive bail.

Matching documents → impacts
- Hammurabi’s Code → helped influence the development of written legal codes (assigned to: helped influence the development of common law)
- Ten Commandments → prohibited murder, stealing, and lying under oath
- Justinian’s Code → emphasized the concept of “innocent until proven guilty”
- Magna Carta → asserted the rights to a trial by jury and due process
- English Bill of Rights → guaranteed free government elections

(Brief rationale: Ten Commandments set basic moral prohibitions; Justinian’s codification preserved Roman legal ideas like presumption of innocence; Magna Carta established jury/due process traditions; the English Bill of Rights affirmed parliamentary elections and limits on the monarch; Hammurabi is an early law code that influenced later legal development.)

Question 3 (How Greek & Roman ideals became part of U.S. founding documents)
- The Enlightenment ignited American political leaders’ interest in these classical ideas and how to apply them to the present.

Question 4 (How Judeo‑Christian legal tradition inspired ideas in the Bill of Rights)
- It provided moral and legal principles (e.g., prohibitions on murder, theft, bearing false witness, respect for individual dignity) that helped shape concepts of individual rights and protections later reflected in the Bill of Rights.

Question 5 (How Greek and Roman democracies impacted U.S. government design)
- The designers of the government borrowed elements of these governments in structuring the U.S. federal government.
