Answer:

The Coloured vote constitutional crisis, also known as the Coloured vote case, was a constitutional crisis that occurred in the Union of South Africa during the 1950s as the result of an attempt by the Nationalist government to remove Coloured voters in the Union's Cape Province from the common voters' rolls. It developed into a dispute between the judiciary (in particular the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court) and the other branches of government (Parliament and the executive) over the power of Parliament to amend an entrenched clause in the South Africa Act (the constitution) and the power of the Appellate Division to overturn the amendment as unconstitutional. The crisis ended when the government enlarged the Senate and altered its method of election, allowing the amendment to be successfully enacted

<span>. The US had always been an Isolationist country, meaning that they tried to stay out of foreign affairs. This is probably because of the difficulty we were experiencing internally. We ended up sending help to Britain and the Allied forces because they had more democratic governments, while the Axis forces were more authoritarian. The US was inclined to help democratic countries because they would be stronger allies and not nearly as hostile.</span>

Explaining why did some colonists smuggle goods in the 1760s

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The colonist began smuggling goods during the 1760s because they were heavily taxed by the British. The stamp Act affected both colonist and British merchants alike. Also the British would not permit ships from other countries to trade in America. The Navigational Act prevented colonist to buy cheaper goods from other countries and because of these unfair conditions, it light the fuse that led to the American Revolution as the colonist desired to be free from British rule and establish their own country.
