History

Strike441 [17]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is A. To explain why rights were being reserved for citizens rather than the government.


Indeed, the context of the Bill of Rights was that the articles of Confederation that were used to regulate relations between the states were insufficient as the federal government that was supposed to enforce them was actually weakened by them. The Philadelphia Convention was organized to fix these articles but it was finally decided that they would be replaced with the Constitution. However, the great fear of Anti-Federalists was that such Constitution would give too much power to the President and thus it had to be counterbalanced by strong Individual rights for American Citizens. Thus, this particular Fifth Amendment was intended to establish several constitutional rights and judicial protections for American citizens such as:


- The Right to be judged by a Grand Jury of one’s peers.

- The Infamous crime clause.

- The Double Jeopardy Clause (right not to be tried twice for the same offense).

- The Right not to be forced self-incriminate legally.

- The Due Process Clause (right not to be arrested, prosecuted or incarcerated without valid legal justification and trial).

- The Takings Clause (the right not to be dispossessed of one’s property arbitrarily or without proper monetary compensation).

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Overview

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the most comprehensive civil rights legislation ever enacted by Congress. It contained extensive measures to dismantle Jim Crow segregation and combat racial discrimination.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed barriers to black enfranchisement in the South, banning poll taxes, literacy tests, and other measures that effectively prevented African Americans from voting.

Segregationists attempted to prevent the implementation of federal civil rights legislation at the local level.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964

After years of activist lobbying in favor of comprehensive civil rights legislation, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted in June 1964. Though President John F. Kennedy had sent the civil rights bill to Congress in 1963, before the March on Washington, the bill had stalled in the Judiciary Committee due to the dilatory tactics of Southern segregationist senators such as James Eastland, a Democrat from Mississippi. start superscript, 1, end superscript After the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963, his successor, Lyndon Baines Johnson, gave top priority to the passage of the bill.

Write a composition about Ancient Greece

Your question : Write a composition about Ancient Greece

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>Ancient Greeks worshipped lots of different gods. They believed many gods appeared in human form and were provided with superhuman strength. The Greeks usually worshipped in sanctuaries located within the city or the country. A sanctuary was a well-defined sacred space set apart usually by an enclosure wall. They also worshipped in temples. Temples benefited from their natural surroundings, helping the expression of character divinities. The Greeks also had a Christian Orthodox church they used. The Greek religion had a total of twelve gods, each representing a certain aspect of human behavior. Religion was always present. The Greeks had rituals, myths, and temples with the beliefs being widespread so the Greek government could function. Each god did a different thing, with different powers. Each were always needed, and their powers were always necessary. They usually all got along unless one was made mad.  </em>

Greek religion was combinations of old Minoan beliefs. To some extent always remained familiar but its far from easy understanding. The Greeks thought of their religion as unique and unrepeatable. They believed that after death, a soul went on a journey to a place called the underworld (“Everyday life, Beliefs, and Myths”). If the soul went to the underworld the god of death would cut off a lock of your hair as you died. Hermes, the messenger god, would then lead you to the river, Styx. If your body was once buried the ferryman god would deliver you across the river.
