Answer:

A. The Establishment Clause

A. Appointed judges are not swayed by public opinion.

B. Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction in all federal matters.

D. The judge would consider both the intent of the Framers who wrote the part of the Constitution in question and previous court decisions on the topic.

Explanation:

  • The Establishment Clause is a limitation that prevent Congress from passing legislation forcing an establishment of religion, thus making it illegal for the government to promote a religion.
  • The idea behind appointing judges for life was the fact that this would allow judges to not be swayed by public opinion. It would allow them to think beyond the politics of the day and focus instead on the values of the country that last through time.
  • One of the ways in which the types of jurisdiction are structured within the judicial branch of government is by allowing federal courts to have exclusive jurisdiction over all federal matters.
  • Judges who suscribe to the idea of judicial restraint believe that the power of the judicial branch should be limited. Therefore, they try to interfere in law as little as possible, and only in cases where the law is obviously unconstitutional.

Describe the actions taken by the federal government to assimilate native Americans into American society
juin [17]

In order to avoid problems with the Native Americans, the federal governments decided to gradually assimilate the native population into the American society.

There were multiple actions taken to accomplish the assimilation.

The Native Americans were granted all the rights as the other people, which enabled them to constantly communicate with everyone else, to get familiar with the culture, and get exposed to the culture, eventually accepting it.

Also, all the Native American children were obliged to visit school and get educated. The education was on English language, and the children were mixing from early age with children of the other ethnic groups, thus becoming Americanized from very early age.

They were allowed and motivated to work in the places were everyone else was working, which led to further assimilation, as the majority of the people were not Native Americans, so in order to fit in they had to merge into their culture.
