Wewaii [24]3 years ago

The decision of Baker v. Carr was one of the most wrenching in the Court's history. The case had to be put over for reargument because in conference no clear majority emerged for either side of the case. Associate Justice Charles Evans Whittaker was so torn over the case that he eventually had to recuse himself for health reasons. The arduous decisional process in Baker is often blamed for Whittaker's subsequent health problems, which forced him to retire from the Court in 1962.

The opinion was finally handed down in March 1962, nearly a year after it was initially argued. The Court split 6 to 2 in ruling that Baker's case was justiciable, producing, in addition to the opinion of the Court by Justice William J. Brennan, three concurring opinions and two dissenting opinions. Brennan reformulated the political question doctrine, identifying six factors to help in determining which questions were "political" in nature.

Archy [21]
<span>The question is asking us to choose among the options. The background is that "The British Empire once controlled modern-day India. While many British historians once defended Great Britain's Right to rule over foreign colonies, British historians today largely take a negative view of such colonialism. Which of the following best explains why this change in interpretation might have occurred?" Here, the major reason is that the values changed - before, people believed in the superiority of white people while now it is believed that all people are equal. This means that they have different subjective options that influence how they see the events - biases. So the best answer is: B. Historians today have different biases than previous historians.</span><span />

Jefferson’s passage on slavery was the most important section removed from the final document. It was replaced with a more ambiguous passage about King George’s incitement of “domestic insurrections among us.” Decades later Jefferson blamed the removal of the passage on delegates from South Carolina and Georgia and Northern delegates who represented merchants who were at the time actively involved in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Jefferson’s original passage on slavery appears below.
