What role did the Bill of Rights play in the debate over the ratification of the Constitution?

History

dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

  • The Anti-Federalists wanted a guarantee of protection of people's personal liberties.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

How did humanistic politics affect feudalism?
anygoal [31]

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Is false (F)

Explanation:

On May 18, 1917, the Selective Service Act or the Selective Draft Act becomes law:

"All male citizens, or foreign non-enemy male persons who have declared their intention to become citizens" between the ages of 21 and 30, must register for military service.

Although there were conflicts and protests (New York and New Jersey), alleged draft evaders, pejoratively called "idlers," were arrested around the United States.

Supreme Court Rules Draft Constitutional (Jan. 7, 1918)

The recruitment system remained effective until May 1919 when selective service boards and state recruitment headquarters were closed.

What happens to the amount of money the government collects in taxes if unemployment is high? It is harder to collect. It stays
Serhud [2]

Answer:

If unemployment is high, the amount of money the government collects in taxes goes down.

Explanation:

Government is financed mainly through taxes that it collects both from citizens and businesses. When there is full employment or a low percentage of unemployment, there is higher income (with which higher tax burdens) and higher consumption (that is, higher taxes paid by companies). On the contrary, when there are high unemployment rates both the income of the citizenship and the sales of the companies decrease, so that the government collects less money.
