Ksenya-84 [330]1 year ago
6 0

All people born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, were granted citizenship by the 1868 ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which also guaranteed all citizens "equal protection of the laws."

The Fourteenth Amendment, which was added to the Constitution of the United States in 1868, included African Americans and slaves who had been freed from slavery following the American Civil War under the general heading "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." It also gave them equal civil and legal rights. The amendment has five sections in total, four of which were first proposed separately in 1866, stalled in the legislative process, and were later combined with a fifth enforcement section to form a single amendment.

What are the benefits of having several state permits a practice that is generally banned throughout the United States?
iragen [17]
This is when states become a “laboratories for Democracy”. This means that while federal law may say one thing about a certain issue/policy, there is sometimes overlap in jurisdiction that allow states to go against the Federal Government. A benefit of states being laboratories for Democracy is that they are able to implement policies that they feel is best for citizens of their respected state. A quality example of this would be the legality of marijuana. While marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, many states (colorado, california, washington, etc) have decided that the consumption of marijuana is legal for recreational use, despite federal law that prohibits it.

Who did police originally believe was responsible for the death of Jose and Kitty Menendez?
cluponka [151]

The police originally suspected that the death of Jose and Kitty Menendez resulted from a <u>mob</u>.

<h3>What is a mob?</h3>

A mob can be described as a criminal gang or simply a Mafia.

By its very nature, a mob is a secret organization made up of criminals.

However, after it was reported that the couple was murdered by their own children, Lyle and Erik Menendez, police arrested the duo and the court proceedings lasted several years before they were convicted and incarcerated for life.

Thus, originally, police believed that a mob was responsible for the death of Jose and Kitty Menendez, not suspecting that the couple's children were the culprits.
