Can someone help me with this? Preferably with an explanation on how to actually figure this out. Thank you!

2^-4, 1/16, (1/2)^4

There is a rule with exponents, if you are dividing two exponents you subtract the first exponent from the other to simplify it, also meaning it's equivalent.

So in this case 5-9 = 2^-4

The others were found by evaluation.

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
