Answer:

James Madison ended up submitting 12 amendments but only 10 of them were approved. They became the United States Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

James Madison's (1751-1836) amendments became the Bill of Rights that was ratified in 1791.

These amendments were made in order to achieve ratification of the U.S. Constitution. In 1787-8 there were many debates where Anti-Federalists opposed to the Constitution as it were because they thought it gave too much power to the government and didn't protect individual rights and liberties.

Thus Madison started drafting these amendments to meet these demands and to get the Constitution ratified. Constitution was ratified in 1788 and the Bill of Rights in 1791.

1.How did the Radical Republicans' aim for Reconstruction differ from President Johnson's? What two new laws passed by Congress
quester [9]
1. 
A) Radical republicans wanted to punish the south much more severely and basically humiliate them in various ways. Johnson was different because he enabled the south to recover through some controversial means during the reconstruction period since he didn't want to put a lot of pressure on them and wanted them to prosper.

B) The first law that they got from the congress was the law that extended the life of the freedman's bureau which was an important organization for the emancipation of African American citizens at the time. The second law was the civil rights act of 1866 which was the first document that made people of all races equal.

2. Johnson had a lot of problems with the congress because they were always on different sides when it came to important legislation. An example of this was for example the 14th amendment that was passed by the congress and was disliked by Johnson, as well as the military reconstruction act which was passed even after Johnson vetoed it.

3.
A) Johnson fired his secretary of war which caused the congress to impeach him. This was because it was considered that he was just being corrupt and wanted to have all power to himself and it was also debated whether it was legal at all to fire someone from such an office if you are the president of the country.

B) The impeachment was unsuccessful because Johnson was acquitted of all charges, 11 of them. The senators who voted against impeachment later never served in an elected office again, but they got the support of the people anyway and there were also senators who voted to impeach him who later changed their mind

4. They had huge farms and plantations which were unsustainable because they now had to pay huge amounts to other people who provided seeds or to workers, who didn't get a lot of money at all but still it was problematic for sustaining such big farms, and they started indebting themselves more and more until they went bankrupt.

Which statement about the media in the United States is true?
Molodets [167]
a. It is largely privately owned-- Media companies are owned by private companies and/or individuals. 

The US is a capitalistic country as well as a democracy which means individuals control and own media companies. The US has regulated the media during times of war or produced their own media for war effort but does not directly control media outlets at any other time. In the 1980s, under Reagan, a piece of media regulation was repealed which required balanced and fair reporting of the news. Since then the media has been allowed to operate freely with whatever bias they wish to present. <span />
