What is 'homework'?





Do teachers expect you to do your own homework, or do they think you're going to ask a bunch of total strangers online to do your homework for you?





What is an 'encyclopedia', and is there one online?

A)What was the Test Act? b)What were traditional liberties?c)What was the rump parliament?
The several Test Acts were a series of English penal laws that imposed various civil disabilities on Roman Catholics and Nonconformists. The principle that none but persons professing the Established Church were eligible for public employment and the severe penalties pronounced against recusants, whether Roman Catholic or Nonconformist, were affirmations of this principle.





The Rump Parliament was the name of the English Parliament immediately following the Long Parliament, after Pride's Purge of December 6, 1648 had removed those Members of Parliament hostile to the intentions of the Grandees in the New Model Army to try King Charles I for high treason.





Traditional Liberties come in many definitions and guises, but in the context of the time lines of your question I would seek that defined in the Great Charter (Magna Carta) of 1215.
