Thomas Nast exposes and brings down Boss Tweed’s political machine through his work (arts) since 1867. Nast shoved his attack on Harper’s page.

 

EXPLANATION    

Nast's drawings were instrumental in the downfall of Boss Tweed, the strong leader of Tammany Hall. Tweed and his colleagues - Peter Barr Sweeny, Richard B. Connolly, and Mayor A. Oakey Hall - they corrupted millions of dollars of city’s money by inflating the cost of the Ring project. Nast with his cartoon attacking Tammany's corruption since 1867, he clearly described the four main players involved.

 

Tweed, who felt cornered by the Nast campaign, sent an envoy to offer a bribe of $ 100,000 to the artist. The money was represented as a gift from a group of wealthy benefactors who enabled Nast to study art in Europe. Nast then pretended to be interested, he negotiated to send more money, before he suddenly turned down the offer of $ 500,000 with the words, "Well, I don't think I'll do it. Recently I decided to throw some of these people into behind bars ".

 

Nast intensified his attacks on Harper's pages. Tweed was arrested in 1873 and convicted. Tweed had tried to escape to Cuba and Spain. Officials at Vigo can identify fugitives using one of Nast's cartoons.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The Ninth Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights that was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. It says that all the rights not listed in the Constitution belong to the people, not the government.
