When was the first computer built?
Some consider the "engima machine" of WW2 to be the first computer. Depending on your definition it could be that or you might want to wait until the Univac was built. At some point it becomes a matter of semantics. ++ Depends rather on whether you consider purpose; and 'Enigma' was not a computer. 'Colossus', not 'Enigma', was the first programmable electronic computer, and its basic principles were those of any electronic computer at circuit and logic level. However, Colossus was built for a specific purpose: cracking the Germal military codes set on the Enigma system. Enigma was closer to a sophisticated combination-lock than a calculator. Others would consider Charles Babbage's 'Difference Engine' (London, 1840s) to be the first computer, though it wqas all-mechanical and for a specific purpose, calculating log and trig tables. For some reason Babbage never saw it through to completion, but Science Museum staff have completed enough of it to prove its design and craftsmanship was sound. Had the original been finished as intended it would have been a very powerful tool in its day.
Why did people vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
1st election 1. people wer sick of republican rule, the presidemt Hoover was trying to get them out of th depression but his plans were very weak. FDR promised a 'New Deal'. no one knew exacly what it was but it brought them hope. he worked for the working class and the poor, the people who needed the most help. 2. he was a good, reassuring speaker. he WA different from other presidents, he was funny and friendly, not strict and authoritative like the others 3. he had suffered too, having contrcted polio and losing the ability to walk. to show he wasnt weak he tried to pretend he could walk, but his suffering did give him a better understanding of the sufferings of the American people. 2nd election 1. although there was much criticism by groups, the majority of people had been helped and still loved roosevelt. 2. he was reassuring and freindly. 3rd election 1. the war had started, the presidential election wasnt something that was so importnt nymore. they felt reassured by Rooselvelt so voted for him again 2. he had almost got them out of the depression, maybe they could get them out the war 4th election 1.

Why was Martin Luther excommunicated and declared heretic?
He encouraged Catholics to question a number of practices of the church, including the sale of indulgences. He later denied the priesthood. He also denied the original Bible which was used by everyone at the time, and was used for the 1500 years before him. He came along and took out what are know as the apocryphal books. One of the reasons know for his action of taking books out of the Bible is that some of the Apocryphal books talked about priesthood. One of the things he took out of the Bible was Psalm 151. The way that catholics look at it today is, what human is given the right to take books out of the Bible? These are the reasons that Martin Luther was declared a heretic and was later excommunicated.(He encouraged Catholics to question a number of practices of the church, including the sale of indulgences)Roman Catholic AnswerMartin Luther was a sick and morbid man who had tremendous trouble with the truth. Many, many of the incidents of his "life" are totally beyond belief. You can read the entire sad account in the Catholic Encyclopedia article (link below). He denied many of the doctrines of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Scriptures and taught by the Church. Here is the account as to his excommunication:Luther the reformer had become Luther the revolutionary; the religious agitation had become a political rebellion. Luther's theological attitude at this time, as far as a formulated cohesion can be deduced, was as follows:•The Bible is the only source of faith; it contains the plenary inspiration of God; its reading is invested with a quasi-sacramental character.•Human nature has been totally corrupted by original sin, and man, accordingly, is deprived of free will. Whatever he does, be it good or bad, is not his own work, but God's.•Faith alone can work justification, and man is saved by confidently believing that God will pardon him. This faith not only includes a full pardon of sin, but also an unconditional release from its penalties.•The hierarchy and priesthood are not Divinely instituted or necessary, and ceremonial or exterior worship is not essential or useful. Ecclesiastical vestments, pilgrimages, mortifications, monastic vows, prayers for the dead, intercession of saints, avail the soul nothing.•All sacraments, with the exception of baptism, Holy Eucharist, and penance, are rejected, but their absence may be supplied by faith.•The priesthood is universal; every Christian may assume it. A body of specially trained and ordained men to dispense the mysteries of God is needless and a usurpation.•There is no visible Church or one specially established by God whereby men may work out their salvation.The emperor is appealed to in his three primary pamphlets, to destroy the power of the pope, to confiscate for his own use all ecclesiastical property, to abolish ecclesiastical feasts, fasts, and holidays, to do away with Masses for the dead, etc. In his "Babylonian Captivity", particularly, he tries to arouse national feeling against the papacy, and appeals to the lower appetite of the crowd by laying down a sensualized code of matrimonial ethics, little removed from paganism, which "again come to the front during the French Revolution" (Hagen, "Deutsche literar. u. religiöse Verhaltnisse", II, Erlangen, 1843, 235). His third manifesto, "On the Freedom of a Christian Man", more moderate in tone, though uncompromisingly radical, he sent to the pope.In April, 1520, Eck appeared in Rome, with the German works, containing most of these doctrines, translated into Latin. They were submitted and discussed with patient care and critical calmness. Some members of the four consistories, held between 21 May and 1 June, counselled gentleness and forbearance, but those demanding summary procedure prevailed. The Bull of excommunication, "Exsurge Domine", was accordingly drawn up 15 July. It formally condemned forty-one propositions drawn from his writings, ordered the destruction of the books containing the errors, and summoned Luther himself to recant within sixty days or receive the full penalty of ecclesiastical punishment.
