Answer:
O1) He worked tirelessly as a lawyer for the NAACP for nearly a decade to desegregate public facilities in Mississippi.
Explanation:
Medgar Evers was a World War II veteran who would become an integral part of the Civil Rights Act. He was also responsible for most of the desegregation acts of the American society/ government and also helped in the integration of the University of Mississippi.
Among the given options, Medgar Evers was involved in all of them except that he worked as a lawyer for the NAACP for a decade. Contrary to that, he was the organization's first field secretary in the southern state of Mississippi.
Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
Larger population states, like Virginia
The Virginia Plan had representation by population, like we currently go in the House of Representatives. Small states felt like they would by trampled on, and wanted equal representation, like we have in the Senate. Larger states liked it, however. They thought it would be more fair to go just by population
On October 25, 1774, the First Continental Congress sends a respectful petition to King George III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule. Despite the anger that the American public felt towards the United Kingdom after the British Parliament established the Coercive Acts—called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists—Congress was still willing to assert its loyalty to the king. In return for this loyalty, Congress asked the king to address and resolve the specific grievances of the colonies. The petition, written by Continental Congressman John Dickinson, laid out what Congress felt was undue oppression of the colonies by the British Parliament. Their grievances mainly had to do with the Coercive Acts, a series of four acts that were established to punish colonists and to restore order in Massachusetts following the Boston Tea Party. The first of the Coercive Acts was the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston to all colonists until damages from the Boston Tea Party were paid. The second, the Massachusetts Government Act, gave the British government total control of town meetings, taking all decisions out of the hands of the colonists. The third, the Administration of Justice Act, made British officials immune to criminal prosecution in America and the fourth, the Quartering Act, required colonists to house and quarter British troops on demand, including in private homes as a last resort.
The king did not respond to the petition to Congress’ satisfaction and eight months later on July 6, 1775, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution entitled “Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms.” Written by John Dickinson and Thomas Jefferson, the resolution laid out the reasons for taking up arms and starting a violent revolution against British rule of the colonies.
The Framers chose federalism rather than having a unitary system (all power given to the central government) because people did not trust central government.
