<em>Jim Crow laws.</em>
Explanation:
After the Civil War, segregation in the South was still very prevalent. Jim Crow laws were all over the South and were made to keep African-Americans and white people separate. Some of these laws included things like separate schooling for white and black children, different prisons, separate ticket booths, etc.
Black codes were also a very common thing in the South. These were much more harsher than Jim Crow laws and made it very hard for African-Americans to do anything in everyday life. Many would get arrested for no real reason. Voting laws were also very common as well, so many African-Americans could not vote.
Years and years of protesting these unequal doings, Jim Crow laws, along with other segregative laws and measures, became illegal.

- Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan inspired the "Unalienable rights" outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Hobbes's <em>Leviathan or the Matter Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil, </em>written in 1651,<em> </em>became one of the most influential written masterpieces on politics and philosophy in the history of humankind. His ideas about the <u>fundamental rights of individuals </u>and the need of a <u>Social Contract </u>(laws and regulations) for a society to thrive were deeply influential in the writing of the Declaration of independence as well of the Constitution.
It is interesting to note that not all of Hobbes's beliefs were agreed upon by the Founding Fathers, for example, his belief in government with absolute power over individuals. Nevertheless, his ideas were complemented along with John Locke's ideas regarding unalienable rights (Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) and limited government.
- Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes was referring to an individual's right to freedom in relation to others when he said: "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.”
This quote refers to the fact that we are, of course,<u> free as individuals within our social structure, but we must not forget that this doesn't give us the right to damage the other or threaten their liberty.</u> This is known as the demarcation of liberties.
