Minimum sentencing laws on powder cocaine disproportionately affected <u>African Americans</u> because powder cocaine was mostly consumed by people of color.

<h3>What were the effects of minimum sentencing laws?</h3>

Minimum sentencing laws led to African Americans being thrown in prison quite often because they were typically the ones who consumed powder cocaine.

For this reason, people of color were very much affected by minimum sentencing laws which saw a large number of them end up in prison.

Which ""Characteristic of an Absolute Monarch"" (the chart you have in your notes) is best represented by Louis XIV? Explain why
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

<u><em>"I am the state."</em></u>

Explanation:

An absolute monarchy is, a monarchy where all the power was in the King and Queen's hands. Louis XIV regarded as the best example of an absolute monarch in the seventeenth century. He strengthened his power and described his concern to France with the expression, “I am the state”. He broke with tradition and astonished his court by declaring that he would rule without a chief minister. He viewed himself as the direct representative of God, endowed with a divine right to wield the absolute power of the monarchy.

<em>Hope this helps.</em>
