An 18th-century rendition of a medieval French death-crier caricature

"[The death-crier was a] frequent object of caricature during the ages when [the] terror [that] ruled the minds of men was human life itself—its brevity, its uncertainty, and the absurd, ill-timed suddenness with which [it was sometimes cut] short. . . . The only way to avoid unending anguish was to do what the Church commanded and to avoid what the Church forbade. Terror from that time ruled Christendom. Terror covered the earth with ecclesiastical structures, gave the Church a tenth of all revenues and two-fifths of all property. . . . The tolling of the church-bell spread the gloom . . . over the whole town; and the death-crier, with bell and lantern, wearing a garment made terrible by a skull and cross-bones, went his rounds, by day or night, crying to all good people to pray for the soul just departed.”
James Parton, a secondary analysis of medieval Black Plague caricatures, 1877

3.The church initially expanded its ecclesiastical and financial reach in the midst of widespread panic, but, eventually the chaos of the Black Plague consumed and undermined the church’s authority.
4. The church continued to be viewed as an institution that had little authority and maintained only symbolic power throughout the Black Plague.

In 1944, the supreme court upheld the authority of the u. s. government to order the internment of a minority group in the interest of national security, even though there was no evidence that any members of this group were disloyal to the united states. should the same policy be applied today against u. s. muslims or muslim immigrants? why or why not? are these forms of internment different from native reservations? if so how? if not, why?
