Locke believed that human nature is characterized by reason and tolerance. Locke believed that certain rights are inalienable and should not be denied to anybody. These are the right to life, liberty and property.  

I agree that no written law should contradict these rights. This is because of the fundamental nature of the rights. Any law that denies these rights will result in tyranny and denial of basic rights.  

The concept of rule of law basically refers to a situation whereby a country is bound to a system of laws. This is a key tenet of democracy whereby no individual is above the law ensuring that there is law and order.  

The idea of rule of law is important as it guarantees everybody an equal opportunity to pursue their happiness. It checks abuse of power by those in position of power and allows people to exercise their liberty

B) Lenient 

He didn't want to be so harsh, and knew they only were being mislead from the rich people making free labor off the slaves. Most of the confederates fighting hardly had slaves and barely shared any "racist pride".  So Lincoln was Lenient.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The racial violence used against the African American during these events raised the need to relook at the civil rights amendments.

Explanation:

The Colfax massacre refers to racial bloodshed in the American society in 1873 where a confrontation of a black militia and white extremist groups claimed the lives of around 150 blacks after they surrendered. Memphis Massacre is another example of the racial violence on the American soil in which the lives of 46 blacks and 2 white inhabitants of the region of Memphis was lost. These incidents raised concern over the safeguarding of the African Americans and the laws made for their protection.
