What was the court’s majority opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson?

Social Studies
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:The court’s decision ruled that the laws of Louisiana were not in conflict with the Constitution. The justices wrote that Plessy’s defense wrongly assumed that separate facilities somehow made one race automatically inferior to another.

Further, they ruled that if one race is already socially inferior to another, there was nothing that the Constitution or other acts of legislation could do to fix that. To this end, the majority opinion states that the Fourteenth Amendment “could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political, equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either.”

Explanation: This comes directly from the answer.

Famed for his masterful use of irony, many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics due to the author slowly re
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

D- Many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics because of the author's famed and masterful use of irony, evidenced in the slow revelation of a tragic twist of fate at the end of each piece.

Explanation:

The original sentence begins with the modifier "Famed for his masterful use of irony,"  which requires a person as its subject. However, in the original sentence, "many of  Guy de Maupassant's short stories" is the subject. Moreover, the phrase "due to the  author slowly revealing" is awkward.

A. The opening verb-ed modifier “Famed for his…” is incorrectly modifying the subject of the preceding clause “many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories”.  Usage of “due to” is not correct here.

B. Many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics because of how he famously and masterfully uses irony, evident in the slow revelation of a tragic twist of fate at the end of each piece. Incorrect:

i. “because of” should be followed by a noun or clause beginning with noun.

C. Famed for using irony in a masterful way, many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics because of the author slowly revealing a tragic twist of fate at the end of each piece.: Incorrect. This choice repeats the modifier error of choice A.

D. Many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics because of the author's famed and masterful use of irony, evidenced in the slow revelation of a tragic twist of fate at the end of each piece. Correct.

E. Many of Guy de Maupassant's short stories have become classics because he slowly revealed a tragic twist of fate at the end of each piece, demonstrating his famed and masterful use of irony. Incorrect. . This choice repeats the same pronoun error of Choice B.

What serves as much of the dividing line between the British colonies and the French colonies?
mart [117]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options of the question and the map for reference. However, doing some research, we can say the following.

What served as much of the dividing line between the British colonies and the French colonies was "The Appalachian Mountains served as most of the boundary."

We are talking about the North American territory in colonial America, 1700. In that time, Great Britain had colonized the East Coast of the territory to the Atlantic Ocean. The Appalachian Mountains served as most of the boundary. So the Western part of the territory .what later was known to the Louisiana territory- was controlled by the French. The Spanish crown also controlled some territories in that time, as was the case of the Florida Peninsula and the New Hispania.
