History

KengaRu [80]2 years ago

Civil rights were initially contained in the <u>first</u> part of the US Constitution - the Civil Rights Acts which was ratified in the 14th Amendment (1868).

<h3>What are Civil rights?</h3>

Civil rights are rights that protect the liberty of individuals from being infringed by others, governments, and social organizations.

They include the right to vote, the right to a fair trial, the right to public education, the right to gainful employment, the right to use public facilities, freedom of religion, etc.

The Civil Rights Act (1866) was the first United States federal law to explain what citizenship is. It also declared that all citizens are equally protected by the law.

The main purpose of the act was to protect the civil rights of African descent born in or brought to the United States.

Thus, the first part of our Constitution, which is the Civil Rights Act originally contains the civil rights of citizens.

<h3>Who is General Washington?</h3>

Generally, When civilians who escaped the forces commanded by General Howe returned to their houses, they discovered that they had been pillaged.

It turned out that Washington was a greater commander than he was a military thinker. It wasn't so much his brilliance on the field of battle as it was his ability to hold the struggling colonial army together that made him so powerful.

His men had insufficient training and lacked essential supplies including food, ammo, and other provisions (soldiers sometimes even went without shoes in winter).

During the American Revolutionary War, General George Washington successfully led the American army to victory. During the Revolutionary War, Washington distinguished himself as a competent and resilient head of the American armed forces, despite the fact that he had very little experience in the actual management of big conventional armies.

briefly describe similarities and differences between the feudal economic structures of medieval Europe and medieval japan
Fantom [35]
In feudal Europe there was an emperor or a king who had his nobles who ruled areas. The areas were given to them by the king to reign free and in return they swore to help the king in wars or similar things. These noble people were not necessarily warriors or great conquerors, just good diplomats. The land was owed by them and everythign that the people who lived on those lands made they had to give a percentage to the noble, who paid taxes to the king, or kept everything if they had struck a deal of that kind.

Feudal Japan was different because the people who ruled were not nobles but rather military and war generals who were called shoguns. The emperor himself was not an important figure and didn't decide much. The shoguns controlled everything and since there was a highly militaristic tradition developed merchants were not important and trading was heavily state regulated. Shoguns would even practice complete isolationist policies to prevent trading with foreigners. People had to pay taxes to them.

I think your answer should be C. A citizen is imprisoned for years without being charged with a crime. A person can't be sentenced to jail without first being accused of a crime and there is evidence to support it. Also, you cannot be tried for the same thing twice. (Double Jeopardy) Hope this helps!
