The supreme court tends to check congress more than the president because congress passes laws, which change the way the courts work in this country, so the supreme court is a major stake holder in what gets passed through acts of congress. Most of the time, a president is checked by the court through a bill they've thrown serious political muscle behind and gotten passed through congress. Great examples of the supreme court striking down presidentially endorsed acts of congress is the court striking down the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the national Recovery Administration that FDR pushed for as part of the New Deal. This also nearly happened in recent times with Obamacare, where several components of the bill narrowly avoided being struck down by the supreme court. The supreme court can also check executive orders. The supreme court also struck down some elements of President Trump's muslim ban in the last month.
Although it is often claimed that Christians were persecuted for their refusal to worship the emperor, general dislike for Christians likely arose from their refusal to worship the gods or take part in sacrifice, which was expected of those living in the Roman Empire.

Fernando Maximiliano de Habsburgo fue seleccionado por Napoleón III para tomar la Corona mexicana. Si bien el nuevo emperador contaba con el apoyo de los mexicanos conservadores, Maximiliano demostró tener una perspectiva mas cercana a los republicanos liberales.

Answer:
Nativist anti-immigrant legislation was similar to Jim Crow laws targetting non-white populations.
Explanation:
The cartoon in the picture is a very witty take on Nativist anti-immigrant laws that were enacted in the United States after WWI.
The reason is that it compares one of its measures: literacy tests, with Jim Crow laws, which also included literacy tests for people in order to be able to vote, a measure that targeted black people and poor white people, who at the time had very low literacy levels. This policy was designed to effectively keep black and poor white people from voting, a phenomenon that is known as disenfranchisement.
Literacy tests for immigrants had a similar effect, since many of U.S. potential immigrants at the time came from non-english speaking countries like Italy, Poland or China, and this literacy tests were obviously made in English.
