The group most affected by the passage of the 15 amendment were African Americans older than 21, because they could now vote. The US Constitution in its 15 amendment declared that it was the right of all American citizens to vote. Furthermore, it specified that this right could not be denied, bases on race, color or for being in a condition of slavery previously by any State in the Union.

Even tough the 15 amendment was passed in 1870, many blacks were still afraid to vote and they actually received treats, and their houses were set on fire by hate groups. More than 100 years had to pass for African Americans to get the courage to vote.

It was not until the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 that most African Americans mostly in the south, were finally registered to vote

This excerpt explains why the Articles of Confederation needed to be fixed or replaced with a different constitution. The excerpt goes over several different flaws in the Articles of Confederation including:
1) No national courts to solve issues between individuals from different states.

2) No consistency in laws- In other words, states got to interpret the laws whatever way they wanted.

3) No way to enforce court rulings from state to state.

These weaknesses, plus others, resulted in the need for a new constitution. The US Constitution replaces the Articles of Confederation and is still what we follow today.

What group of paris artists immersed themselves in religion to flee modernity?

Naya [18.7K]

Les Nabis.

Deriving their name from the Hebrew word for "prophets," the Nabis were founded by Paul Serusier, and were active in the late 1800s into the first decade of the 20th century. A number of members of the group were of Jewish background, so that's part of the explanation perhaps for the "Nabis" name for the movement. There was a desire to see art as a medium for revealing deeper truths. Their motto was expressed like this: "Sounds, colors, and words have a miraculously expressive power beyond all representation and even beyond the literal meaning of the words."
