From the perspective of enslaved African Americans, slavery ended before the passage of the 13th Amendment because of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is important to note that the Emancipation Proclamation did not officially end slavery, but it did provide the impetus for subsequent legislation. The Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1, 1863 and granted freedom to all enslaved persons in states that were in rebellion against the Union. It also inspired enslaved African Americans to leave Southern plantations in large numbers and flee toward Union lines. Union troops were forced to make provisions for these enslaved people within their ranks.
President Lincoln would argue that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a strategic move designed to destabilize the southern states. It did not apply to border states and it was null and void if the rebellious state returned to the Union. Moreover, because the southern states had seceded, they were no longer under the authority of the federal government, thus Lincoln had no authority over them
Enslaved people played an important role in the war as soldiers (those who escaped) and as laborers in the South for the Confederacy. They served as spies for the North.
Answer:
Written by James Madison, this essay defended the form of republican government proposed by the Constitution. Critics of the Constitution argued that the proposed federal government was too large and would be unresponsive to the people.
In response, Madison explored majority rule v. minority rights in this essay. He countered that it was exactly the great number of factions and diversity that would avoid tyranny. Groups would be forced to negotiate and compromise among themselves, arriving at solutions that would respect the rights of minorities. Further, he argued that the large size of the country would actually make it more difficult for factions to gain control over others. “The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States.”
Explanation:
Answer: A) Liberty versus stability and order
Explanation:
Scenario not attached but this should be the correct answer.
In the debate about surveillance in the United States, the principles of liberty and stability and law and order seem to always clash. The bone of contention is that people should have the liberty to live life as they want without worrying about the government snooping on them.
The principle of stability and order however, calls for surveillance so that behavior that is not in the best interests of the country can be curbed.
For this reason, these two principles keep clashing in reference to surveillance.
